Yet neither of those events, nor World wars 1 and 2 killed as large a PERCENTAGE of the world's population as the Timurid wars - Timur e Lang, Tamerlane killed 5.5% of the world's population (nearly wiping out the Ancient Church of the East, the Assyrian church)
The Mongol invasions also killed 5% of humanity.
None of the wars after 1815 had that level of murderousness
btw, that's one of Timur's infamous pyramid of skulls -- he left a lot of them around
Jesus said to repent, believe, be baptised, eat of His body and drink of His Blood and endure to the end.
