"In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer." - Isaiah 54:8. God is not the destroyer, Revelation 9:11 referred to Satan as ' Abaddon ' and ' Apollyon' , both words mean same thing, destroyer. Man, in a large portion; over the years have turned against God; they don't even reverence Him, nor accord Him the Glory and Honour due Him, neither thank Him for the protection we have being enjoying over the years; rather we vilify HIM. Increasing numbers don't acknowledge His existence; those that acknowledged Him, live as though He is not. But, 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." All God requires from us is, acknowledged Him, plead for mercy...
"But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:" 2 Corinthians 4:3
