I can see where kmkemp is coming from. I made a similar statement in the past but put it in a different context. God is being, being itself, not someone in a long white beard sitting on a throne somewhere “out there.” His concerns are not ours nor is he a respecter of persons. And I don’t know about you, but I do not know anyone other than God (whatever you think God to be) who can see the whole picture of what’s really going on and where it’s all headed.
The Holocaust did shock people into realizing what humans are capable of. It did lead to the Jewish state if Israel. The “pride of America” blows up on launch, the “ship God couldn’t sink” sinks on its first voyage, “the pride of Germany” crashes in a great ball of fire, the “thousand year Reich” lasts 10, incredibly bad decisions made that change the course of war. Maybe, just maybe, something is going on we are incapable of seeing or comprehending. Maybe, just maybe, God’s directing hand works almost exclusively through natural laws.
