Wow. Yesterday I was lectured about God not being complicit regarding evil perpetrated in the world and you are taking it a step further by stating that God is the catalyst. Wow
Read what happen to ancient Israel after Solomon. When Israel fell into sin, God allowed the Assyrians to launch a raid into Israel which left death and destruction as a warning to the Jews to repent and return to God. When the Jews refused, Israel was eventually destroyed and her people were carried off as captives of Babylon, until Esther won favor of the Persian king to allow the Jews to return back to Israel and rebuild her cities.
Jesus taught mercy and love, but he never refuted God’s promises and characteristics of the Old Testament.
