Summary: Have you ever thought about how many people have been killed by God? How many Old and New Testament characters did something so egregiously sinful that the Almighty deemed it necessary to straightaway cause or allow the penalty of death to be invoked?

Have you ever thought about how many people have been killed by God? How many Old and New Testament characters did something so egregiously sinful that the Almighty deemed it necessary to straightaway cause or allow the penalty of death to be invoked?

Yahweh, our LORD, our God, was and still is the supreme ruler of all the universes. This is true whether or not you believe that. As such, God has been well known to punish humankind directly or use other forces to punish wayward people. He has chastened nations and individuals. To this day, God continues to administer punishment for evil, as He sees fit.

God authored the words that Moses scribed in Deuteronomy 32:35 “Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.” Verse 42 says, I kill ... I wound ... I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and mine sword shall devour flesh. Romans 12:19, of the New Testament (NT) reinforces the same thought; Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

When God placed “Thou shall not kill” within His 10 Commandments, he was speaking directly to us, all of humankind. Not God Himself! God never said, “I will not kill.” The Bible documents His record in that domain with an innumerable number of deaths.

Some people struggle mightily from the very idea that God could or should judge sinful people and apply punishment even unto their earthly demise. According to Scripture, all sin must be judged and every person deserves death and eternal punishment. If we refuse to accept this truth, then we are in grave danger, no pun intended, of spending all eternity in hell because we too rejected God. For sure, both good or evil persons, all angels and even the devil himself will face God's ultimate lasting judgment. We cannot uphold God's law, it is humanly impossible to do so. If we repent of our sins, our stubbornness, and pride by praying to Jesus Christ for mercy, our name will appear in the Book of Life. If we do this, we can rest our salvation in the hands of Christ alone. For it is not what we do here on earth that saves, but God's grace and the evidence of our faith.

Where the Old and New testament reports specific numbers, that total is greater than two-point-eight million. However, quite a few verses do not identify any exact number of deaths. Therefore, biblical scholars have tabulated an approximated number of deaths. Within the Bible's documented occurrences of deaths by the hand of God—a reasonable estimate of the people who suffered their demise by the hand of God would approach twenty-five million. That figure includes the “guesstimated” twenty million who lost their lives because of the great flood.

Steve Wells, author of “Drunk With Blood,” provides a more complete list of the 158 documented occurrences of mass deaths reported in the Bibles of Protestants and Catholics. Steve's computations of death totals appear to be accurate, but as a Christian you might be offended by his overall religious philosophy. Immediately below is a spreadsheet limited to show only the “Top Twenty” tabulations of deaths perpetrated by God.

The majority of God's righteous executions occurred in the Old Testament. That probably comes as no surprise to you given the copious amounts of sacrificial blood shed by animals and humans,

Second Samuel 6 reports David called together the best soldiers in Israel, a total of thirty thousand men, and led them to Baalah in Judah, in order to bring from there God's Ark of the Covenant, bearing the name of the Lord Almighty. They placed the Ark on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab were guiding the cart. David and all the Israelites were dancing and singing with all their might to honor the Lord. They were playing harps, lyres, drums, rattles, and cymbals. As they came to the threshing place of Nacon, the oxen stumbled tipping the Ark. Uzzah reached out and took hold of the Covenant Box. At once the Lord God became angry with Uzzah and killed him because of his irreverence and the Israelite people cried out loudly because of God's harsh punishment of Uzzah. Uzzah died rigth there beside the golden Ark, a place called Perez Uzzah ever since. The word “Perez” means “a breach.” David was furious because the Lord had punished Uzzah in anger. According to ancient versions of the Hebrew manuscripts, the Lord killed 50,070 men. It is unclear if that higher number included women and children.

Could you ever imagine a massacre of this magnitude simply because an ox stumbled, a man reacted, and such a large number of onlookers gazed upon the Ark of God? Although, we must remember the Ark of God was one of the holy objects. God had made it clear to the Israelites during the time of Moses that they were not to touch any holy object associated with the tabernacle worship (Numbers 4:4-6, 15-20).

Deuteronomy 3:6 provides another testimony of an altogether different event: “We destroyed them just as we destroyed the cities of King Sihon of Heshbon. We completely destroyed every city and all the people in them, even the women and the babies.” Thus an estimated 60,000 men, women, and children never saw another sunrise.

Second King 19:35 reports, “That night the angel of the Lord went out and killed 185,000 people in the Assyrian camp. When the others got up in the morning, they saw all the dead bodies.” God can readily dispatch an angel or an army of angels to impart His righteous vengeance. He even allows the devil to do some of the dirty work.

“Ha-satan or Satan” the prideful fallen angel was seldom mentioned by the ancient authors of the near-original Hebrew text. The term “ha-satan” was mostly used not to describe an immortal demon, but a depict human beings who happen to be an enemy of Israel's military, political or legal concerns. In the 1599 Geneva Bible, the Old Testament term “Satan” is used sixteen times. 1 Chronicles states; “Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David.” In Zechariah 3, Satan resisted an angel of the Lord and God reproved him. In Job, twelve of those conversations were between him and God over what Satan could do against Job. So, in my opinion, the Old Testament book of Job comes the closes to describing “ha-satan” as the rebellious leader of demons Christians know of today. Throughout the New Testament, Satan is painted as we know him today.ob. When Satan orchestrated the deaths of Job’s children, Job did not blame him. Job said, “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away” (Job 1:21). Was Job ignorant that it could have been Satan who made that decision? Possibly? Or was it human nature that caused the Sabeans to attack at a coincidental time. I don't think Job's family members were slaughtered by the will of God. Do you?

God allows both good and “evil” as in Isaiah 45:7, yet there is always a temptation to view bad circumstances as punishment God cast upon our lives.

Can you recall who was the first named person in the Bible that received the death penalty directly from God? It was Lot's wife. God's command was quite clear, “Flee for your life! Do not look behind you, nor stop anywhere in the Plain; flee to the hills, lest you be swept away.” Lot's wife, was summarily executed by being turned into a pillar of salt when she disobeyed the command, turned and viewed the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:17, 26). The Bible does not tell us the name of Lot’s wife, but the Rabbis of that era referred to her as “Idit.” Which causes me to wonder if “Idit” was the root of the word “idiot?”

Sometimes God allows an enemy's army to prevail. 1 Samuel 4:5-11 portrays a raging battle scene: As soon as the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel gave a mighty shout, so that the earth resounded. And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, “What does this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” And when they learned that the Ark of the Lord had come to the camp, the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “A god has come into the camp.” And they said, “Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before. Woe to us! Who can deliver us from the power of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck the Egyptians with every sort of plague in the wilderness. Take courage, and be men, O Philistines, lest you become slaves to the Hebrews as they have been to you; be men and fight.” So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated. And there was a very great slaughter, for thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell. Every man able to flee, fled to his home. And the Ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died. (1 Samuel 4:5-11).

Saul, Israel's first king, disobeyed God. King Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the commands of the Lord. It is also noted that he consulted a medium, seeking guidance which he should have sought from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David. If anyone, including High Priests and kings, can incur death by God's hand, where might our fate stand? If you are a believer and keep the faith, you have no reason to fear the vengeance of God.

However, do not do what king Saul did—do not seek any future knowledge from the services of any supposed fortune teller, crystal-ball, or game board. If you or a family member has stashed a Ouija Board in a dresser drawer or up on your closet shelf—don't give it to a neighbor or a thrift store. Throw the damnable thing away.

Examine the case of Nabal. He was a very wealthy but extremely harsh man. When asked to provide desperately needed supplies for David, the future king of Israel, Nabal refused to do so. Ten days later, God executed him for his wicked behavior (1Samuel 25).

The first king of the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel—Jeroboam was struck down because of his many sins, chief of which were leading the people away from the true God. Second Chronicles 13:15-21 reports: When the men of Judah raised the battle shout, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. The men of Israel fled before Judah, and God gave them into their (enemy's) hand. Abijah and his people struck them with great force, so there fell Israel slain, 500,000 chosen men. Thus the army of Israel was subdued, and the men of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the Lord, the God of their fathers. And Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured cities along the way. The agricultural produce and riches of Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron and their outlying settlements fell to the men of Judah. Jeroboam did not recover his power during the days of Abijah's reign for the Lord struck him down, and he died. But Abijah grew mighty. And he took fourteen wives and had twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

Then there is the story of Zerah the Ethiopian. He came up as far as Mareshah with an army of a million men and 300 chariots. King Asa, a descendant of David and the third king of the southern kingdom of Judah, arrived in force to meet Zerah. They drew up battle lines in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. Asa cried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude.

O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.” So the Lord defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopian army fled. King Asa and the people who were with him pursued them and the Ethiopians fell until none of the one million were alive. The Ethiopians were broken before the Lord and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much spoil. And they attacked and plundered all the cities, for there was much treasure in their spoils of war.

God did not always slaughter large masses. Sometimes He was more selective. Genesis 38 documents that Judah's firstborn child, Er, was evil, and he displeased the Lord. The Lord was not happy with him, so the Lord killed him. Like his older brother Er, Onan was slain by God. Onan's death was God's retaliation for being "evil in the sight of the Lord" and disobeying a direct command to “father a child by his widowed sister-in-law.”

When an unnamed man was found breaking the Sabbath, the Lord commanded the Israelites to stone him to death (Numbers 15:32-36).

Though they were sons of Aaron the High Priest and specifically called to serve in the tabernacle, Abihu and Nadab, were swiftly executed for foolishness (Leviticus 10:1-2). It seems they placed a “strange fire” (KJV translation) before the altar dedicated to God. Biblical commentaries differ regarding the interpretation of what is meant by “strange fire.”

Another pair of High Priests, sons of Eli, suffered very similar fates. Phinehas and Hophni, served as priests at the tabernacle in Shiloh. They coerced worshipers offering animal sacrifices to give them whatever part of the beast they demanded (1 Samuel 2:12-17). They also had adulterous fornication with some of the women who had come to worship (1 Samuel 2:22).

Let's visit some New Testament examples. Ananias and his wife Sapphira were New Testament believers but they were fatally flawed. After selling some of their land, they conspired to give the church part of the proceeds but tell everyone that they were donating the entire amount of the sale. The apostle Peter, however, saw through the veil of their ruse. Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? (Acts 5) After Peter confronted each individually regarding their lies and selfishness, they were struck unto death. Some believe their demise was brought about through the power of the Holy Spirit. However, it can be reasoned that The Holy Spirit just prophesied through Peter foretelling what God was going to do. I had always thought that the “charter” of the Holy Spirit was to expose our errors and convict non-believers into repentance. What do you think?

Another illustration, pertaining to the crux of this discussion, concerns King Herod Agrippa. He laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. He also had James, the brother of John killed, and arrested Peter. One day, after putting on his royal robes, Agrippa was delivering an oration from the seat of his throne. His subjects were shouting accolades, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!” Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod Agrippa down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died” (Acts 12:21-23). Did you pay attention to the sequence of his death?

All these representations, and no doubt countless others we are not aware of, show people were slain by God for their sins! Yes, when God caused the earth to be flooded and wiped out everything of the flesh, save Noah and his family, even that action was because of their pervasive, unbridled worldwide sins.

So, the crowning challenge to understanding the mass killings in the Old Testament is to realize that God’s judgment on sin is a justified reality. Due to their lack of faithfulness to God, meaning they lost their “religious or worshiping backbone,” they subordinated themselves to God's wrath. Another reason was that sometimes they developed a sense of a nationalistic superiority, which led them to a falsehood that God and His blessings should belong exclusively to them. They erroneously felt the “Blessing of God” were uniquely upon them, and they mistakenly believed no other country could or should share His grace.

Perhaps many of the churches of today could learn a lesson from these dangers. Are you aware of any religion that claims to be the “only true denomination?” It's fine if the Churches that believe in the Holy Trinity feel a need to be distinctive or charismatic. The more praising of our God and Savior—the merrier! But they should refrain from retreating into only our righteous teachings are correct, by which they isolate their congregation from the true Gospel of Christ. Those same types of churches devote the majority of their time and tithings to entertaining their congregation—rather than reaching out to the unsaved in their community. Let alone the unsaved worldwide. That is a failure to do effective work for God's missions with the resources He blessed upon the multitudes and the faithful tithed to the church.

When I refer to Jesus, I am speaking of Him in the physical human body. Wholly God, yet altogether human. Christ's anger burst over the profiteers of the Temple for their selling items and corrupt greed. The few times Jesus appeared angry can be very telling. The same sinful factors that aroused His anger, run evermore rampant throughout today's “enlightened” world. But the ministry of Jesus was of compassion and forgiveness, not anger or hate.

Should we ask ourselves what this can tell us about where we need to focus our spiritual lives and growth? Matthew 6:24 communicates quite plainly, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. We cannot simultaneously serve God and money, fame, status, or what other things we may value more than our Lord. Those temple merchants were so fixated on the monetary gains that they forgot about the meaning of spiritual sacrifice. Some shameful Christians of today focus mostly on increasing their material gains. They may find God doesn’t always help them. Others, that are not Christian, seem to have the Midas touch. Who is wealthy is not of our concern. What our concern should be is: Which Master do you serve? God or Satan?

To say that Jesus was at odds with the religious leaders of his day would be a gross understatement! Those religious leaders were never enthralled having Him in their proximity. If Jesus were alive today, which denominations do you think He would take to task—akin to the ways He chastised the Pharisees? One can only hope your personal beliefs are steadfast, even if your Church drifts slightly away from His perfect truths.

Jesus had no patience for the religious figureheads present during His ministry. Actually, He condemned them by calling some “the children of the devil.” First John 3:10 states Jesus said, “By this, the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. Just being a spiritual leader of a church doesn’t mean that person is pleasing to the sight of God. Just because a person regularly attends church and Bible study doesn’t mean God has assured their salvation. If becoming a member of a religious order could save you, then the Pharisees would have been saved for they were more religious than most, though often very hypocritical. We can venture to guess many of them would not find their names written in the Book of Life. Upon their deaths, they did not enter the kingdom of heaven themselves, and their false teaching prevented others from entering as well. More's the sadness in that.

Matthew, chapter 23 tells us Jesus pronounced seven (or eight) woes to those Pharisees. The NIV omits verse 14 having only seven woes as a result. But in the KJV Jesus made a woe against the Pharisees for stealing from the poor and needy and faking their prayers. These woes were interspersed with epithets describing who the priests were in his sight. They were repeatedly labeled as “hypocrites,” religious actors who through dramatic play of their parts, pretended to be pious and godly when in fact they were far from it. These “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” increased their personal wealth and stature, while praying upon the emotions of the faithful people attending the worship service for the correct reasons. Those priests were despicable. Even more so, Jesus also called them devours of widows, children of hell, blind guides, and stated they were full of extortion and excess. He went on to charge them with being serpents and vipers, whitened tombs appearing beautiful outside but dead and corrupt inside. As “ religious killers” the Pharisees could not escape the damnation of hell according to Jesus.

The woes of Jesus, that Matthew recorded, were dire warnings to the religious leaders of the day. But they also serve to warn us against current sacrilegious hypocrisy. We are called to true godliness, sincere love, and enduring faith. Pretension, affectation, and hypocrisy will only lead to woe. Exactly what is a “woe”? Unlike anger, a woe from Jesus is an exclamatory denunciation and a righteous warning of retribution. Woe foretells the grief, misery, and misfortune that will befall those whom it was directed. Then and now! Just why and what were the woes Jesus cast upon the self-righteous Pharisees? Here are Cliff Note encapsulations from Matthew 23:13-31.

1. They kept people out of God's kingdom (23:13).

2. They took advantage of widows (23:14)

3. They misled men to eternal destruction (23:15).

4. They were covetous of worldly things (23:16-22).

5. They refused to show compassion (23:23-24).

6. They were inwardly corrupt (23:25-28).

7. They afflicted the righteous (23:29-31).

8. They were told punishment for the murder of all innocent people would fall on them. (23:35)

Granted, some might not consider Matthew 23:35 as an eighth woe, but I do.

Yes, the Temple priests raised the ire of Jesus. Possibly, more than any other group. The priests acquired highly comfortable lives while the people of their “flock” shared what meager goods they had by sacrificing food and animals to the temple's alter. After which, edibles and valuables were often skimmed into the priest's coffers.

Exodus 12:29 says that God “struck down” the first born of Egypt. Some folks think that God is the destroyer, because Exodus 12:23 says that the “destroyer" will “enter your houses to strike you down.” Thus, are the two the same? Do you believe God is the destroyer? The flaw in that hypothesis is that Jesus is “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Christ died on the cross, he gave His very life to “destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14).

But the misinformed still cry out, “What about all those Egyptian babies under the age of two that were murdered.” Yes, God kills but as swift justice for wrongdoers. Did Satan influence the king to issue the edict to murder the infants? If so, God who controls all still allowed this to happen, who's to blame Satan or God? We should pay close attention to the fact that it was only the Firstborn of Egyptian parents that were slain and the Hebrew children could be protected by placing “the blood of the Passover lamb” across the entrance way.

God and Christ are one in the same, both are an integral, intrinsic constituent of the Holy Trinity. Yes, they are One, but as judgment and wrath are righteously expressed from the Father, love, mercy, and salvation are expressed and received through the Son? In fact, before Jesus cast the woes upon the Pharisees, at the start of his ministry He pronounced several blessings on the righteous in Matthew 5:3-9

1. Great blessings belong to those who know they are spiritually in need. (5:3).

2. Great blessings belong to those who are sad now. God will comfort them. (5:4).

3. Great blessings belong to those who are humble. They will be given the land God promised. (5:5).

4. Great blessings belong to those who want to do right more than anything else. God will fully satisfy them. (5:6).

5. Great blessings belong to those who show mercy to others. Mercy will be given to them. (5:7).

6. Great blessings belong to those whose thoughts are pure. They will be with God. (5:8).

7. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (5:9).

8. Blessed are they which suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (5:10)

Where then is the support that God or Jesus kills people with an evil motive? He does not, not the Father nor the Son! Jesus was born unto mankind to save humans for all eternity. During the earthly ministry of Jesus, he healed afflicted men, women, and children because of his intrinsic, compassionate love for all of us. The Gospel of John says: Moses gave the law and Jesus gives mercy (over the law), so how or why would Jesus put people to death? Slaughtering people, righteously or unrighteously would be contrary to everything Jesus demonstrated during His ministry. Truth be known, Jesus did the exact opposite, he raised the dead. According to our Bible, Jesus raised the widow's son from the dead, (Luke 7) Jairus' daughter, (Matthew 9 Mark 5; Luke 8,) and Lazarus (John 11). Do not overlook the fact that Jesus raised himself from the dead.

All in all, Jesus was recorded as appearing numerous times to his disciples in his resurrected body. Plus, far too many people forget the fact that we do not know everything Jesus did while preaching and teaching among us. We only know of the sayings, parables, situations, or events that were recorded. Jesus, at times, was a very private, humble person. Think a moment about the things Jesus might have accomplished when he strolled away from the disciples.

Granted, Jesus showed anger from time to time. Pigs in the lake notwithstanding, or the casting out of other demons, Jesus, when he was here in his human form, did not physically cause the demise of any single person. Jesus, however, is God, and as God He has killed people. Yes, Jesus expressed considerable aggravation at times, but there are times when one can be angry for appropriate reasons. Anger is often viewed as a completely negative emotion, however, like the righteous wrath of God, Jesus only expressed righteous anger. Anger, in itself, isn’t the problem, it’s what we do with it that ascertains if we are sinning or not. Jesus told us how to handle anger. He said, “I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar, remember that your brother has something against you (or visa versa), leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Settle matters quickly with your adversary” (Matthew 5:22-2).

In closing, consider that the anger of Jesus was primarily directed towards the religious leaders. His deserved ire erupted more frequently on their hypocrisy. Sure, occasionally his followers received His rebuke. Interestingly, he usually took the injustices done to him in stride. He never struck back or, to our knowledge, contemplated retribution. Jesus wanted all people to have the opportunity to learn of his love for them and for them to love God the Father.

Who are we to attempt to judge God, His Wrath, or motives. His Reasons and Plan is beyond our comprehension. All praise, honor, and glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God has elected to judge sin and we all are sinners, none are excepted—except Jesus. Without totally comprehending that basic truth, the wonder of God’s mercy might never be appreciated as it should be. He gave us the amazing truth of the cross, where Christ endured the wrath of God for the sins of the world.

Now, thanks to the spilled blood of Jesus Christ, we are now in a period of grace where believers and non-believers alike have the opportunity to repent, be faithful, and be saved. The path to salvation has been prepared. Christ accomplished that by dying for the sins of the world on the cross. He was resurrected to rescue all believers from their deserved eternity in hell.

Only faith in Jesus alone can save you. False faith in yourself, idols, prestige or wealth will leave your body buried in the dust while your soul is in route to hell's fires.

The End. Amen.

Remember, before the disciples wrote their respective books of the Bible, they were just everyday persons. The words you write may inspire others to accept the Holy Spirit or help them safely over the bumps in their lives.

Everyone goes to heaven for judgment.

The question is, will you and those you know be allowed to stay there? Even if you are already a devout and practicing Christian, this and my other short epistles might help you explain Christianity to those having questions. God commands us to “go forth and make disciples of all nations.”
