Ezekiel 18:23) “‘Do I take any pleasure at all in the death of a wicked person?’ declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. ‘Do I not prefer that he turn away from his ways and keep living?Just to name a few notable instances, God killed:
- Everybody in Sodom and Gomorrah
- The firstborn children of non-Jewish Egyptians
- The Egyptian army when pursuing Moses and the Israelites.
- False prophets, along with their families.
- 14,000 Israeli followers of those prophets
- 24,00 Israelites for sexual immorality
- Up to 50,000 Israelites for looking into the Ark of the Covenant
- 42 youths for making fun of Elisha’s bald head (sent two bears to maul them to death)
- Everybody on Earth (except for one family) in a massive global flood
Talk about vengeful.
