When your teacher says to rejoice in the death of billions, I suggest finding a new teacher. You are following the wrong path.

No one rejoices, not God or me or anyone who loves Him, but He will not tolerate wickedness forever due to the love/promise of those who do love Him...

"Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9

God created it all according to you, and because of omniscience, he knew what woul happen. It all falls right back on him, no matter how many lame excuses you use it order to remove that responsibility from him.

Not true...each being is accountable to God for their own actions...free will has its consequences, good or bad, just as everything in life does...

"So, then, each of us will render an account for himself to God." Romans 14:12

Your preachers teach you to pray for the deaths of billions. You've said as much.

Um, no I did not...Jesus teaches us to pray for God's kingdom to come to the earth...if there are opposers to that kingdom, which there are, it will not end well for them...

The kingdom you speak of, to be reborn, billions must first die. True.

According to prophecy, many will oppose God's kingdom due to their own heart conditions, just as they opposed Jesus Christ, while he was on the earth...this will result in a battle they will not win...

"They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty." Revelation 16:14,16

You did not reply directly to my input. God knew that giving free will would result in widespread evil. He simply cannot escape that reponsibiltiy no matter how many trap doors you drop through in your misdirected answers.

No, He did not, if that were the case, there would be no true free will...regardless, along with free will, comes responsibility, as well as consequences...

God is not omniscient?

Exactly...like the birth pangs of a woman giving birth...more intense and closer together as they progress, until God's kingdom is finally born on the earth...

Has God* instructed His faithful to do whatever they can to help usher these events along, to help them to come to pass?
I imagine piddling things like democracy are to be cast into the Pit of Eternal Fire, yes?

*When "GOD" is used in this discussion, it is important to stress the fact that "not everyone has the same concept of God" thus this is your God, your views of God, and your concept of God, but not necessarily everyone else's.

Yes, he can do anything. And he created a species on Earth that produces much evil, and he knees that in advance. He is thus responsible for said evil. Period.

Absolutely not...this will be God's war, with Jesus Christ being the conqueror along with his heavenly army...the vision in recorded in Revelation chapter 19 reveals only armies in heaven as participating in the warfare as supporters of Jesus Christ, it indicates that none of Jehovah’s Christian servants on earth will participate in the fighting, which is in harmony with the words of Jesus Christ at Matthew 26:52...

Revelation is just a whacky story, not a prediction of the future.

So god can choose to be ignorant? That is one whacky view of god.

This Video shows the Largest Earthquakes in World History timeline, starting in the year 1950 (showing a ranking with earthquakes since 1900) Earthquakes shown are all events of magnitude 5.5 or greater. Some earthquakes were higlighted, due to their high magnitude and/or high death toll. Prior to the development and deployment of seismographs – starting around 1900 – magnitudes can only be estimated, based on historical reports of the extent and severity of damage. This events were not included in this video. Most of the magnitudes shown are in Mw (moment magnitude scale) and ML (Richter magnitude scale). Various ways of determining moment magnitude have been developed, and several subtypes of the Mw  scale can be used to indicate the basis used.

"At-Tabaraani narrated that Sahl ibn Sa’d said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:


“At the end of time there will be earthquakes, falling rocks from the sky, transmutation into animals [or disfigurement, deformity], when stringed instruments and female singers will be widespread, and wine will be permitted.”"

Earthquakes is only one of many events of the composite sign... Jesus foretold of international wars, widespread hunger, intractable diseases, moral and social breakdown...Paul also pointed forward to a collapse of social and moral values in describing the difficult “last days” that would come just before God’s Kingdom would end this world system...even though Jesus and Paul did not list all the historical, social, and political factors that are to blame for these world conditions, their prophecies accurately foretold some 2,000 years ago the events and attitudes that we are seeing today...

and yet still plates of solid and semi solid rock moving over less solid rock below it and the build up of rock being pushed up by volcanoes are why we have mountains on this planet
