Isaiah 13: 15-16 puts it plainly:
15Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
Now I've tried to read into the "context" of this story to see if there's any way to disregard what's actually happening here, but I'm not seeing anything.
Why would God command that children be dashed to pieces and women be raped? No matter what they're guilty of, how is this a demonstration of love?
