The creation of man is envisioned for man to serve God's purpose, will, intent, time, judgment, counsel, and pleasure. Seeing it along this view, affords a man to understand the Mind of God that his mind is set on creation which is, by and large, unsearchable! This is the reason there is a need for a revelation and not reason.
God himself is good in the entirety of his Being. Destruction and Building of things is his power in creation: to destroy and to root out those which are not perfect and holy; and to build the things unto holiness and perfection. Thus, it is easy to know that the wrath of God is good and the evil of God is good! Do not get me wrong. God is everything from evil to good and from profanity to holiness and from hell to heaven! Now, many of you believe the words written that Satan can transform himself as an angel of light. Why can't you accept that God can transform himself as an angel of darkness? Yea, God sends evil angels as written and this is His power.
Psalms 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
To understand the goodness and severity of God let us see Israel as a people. In the beginning, God chose Abraham out of his kindred and gave him the promise to become a great nation. The seed shall be in Isaac and not in Ishmael.
As time passed by Jacob was chosen over Esau as revealed by God to Rebekkah and not to Isaac! The seed was in Jacob which sojourned in Egypt. After 430 years that seed was to be manifested in Moses who was sent by God back to Egypt at his old age which is 80 years old.
The multiplication of Israel began in Egypt and they are to be taken out of it to replenish the land of promise which were inhabited by seven great nations but were abominable!
The promise of God was holy which was that land flowing with milk and honey even as his commandment holy and his law holy for his people to be created by it through the spirit. Meaning, the words spoken by Moses is the Spirit and the Life of Israel, then.
Moving on, we can see that Israel went on to a process of cleansing in the wilderness which is a way of God's creating a people to become holy and perfect. The holy and the perfect are the people who fully obey the voice of the Lord or the Servant of God whom he sent who was at their time in the person of Moses. Holiness and Perfection is the way of making the spirit of God dwell in man for only in the spirit are men made perfect and created!

Psalms 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.30
Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. It is the spirit that creates a man to become holy and perfect.
Along the history of Israel in creation, we can glean on their plight from Egypt to the wilderness and to the promise land and to captivity. Meaning, Israel was never really created as a people but became defiled and corrupt and abominable just like the very people whom they drove out of the land.
The manner how the former inhabitants were spewed out of the land the same happened to Israel. They, too, were banished from the promise land just like Adam and Eve who were banished from Eden.
It must be clear that the creation of Israel as a people continues until today as they rejected their Messiah Jesus Christ. This has been the attitude of Israel toward God and his servants. They always reject and kill their prophets because of the law that they continue to espouse and reject knowledge that God is living and not dead.
The Living God is anywhere, all knowing, and all powerful. Simply put, God is not limited to a book written which is a revelation of his works, and ways, and power which they deny. They deny that God can come down in the flesh as if confirming the scriptures that they (Jews) have a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof.
12 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
22 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
32 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Today, Israel is still on its way of acknowledging the prophets of God which until today they continue to reject and remain in their dogma and doctrine. They are still looking forward for a MESSIAH to come. It is clear that they are a people not yet fully created, hence, the coming of the GENTILES who will replenish them from the east.
The disobedience of Israel was the coming of the mercy of God to the gentiles or to the world. Just as the disobedience of Adam and Eve were salvation to the world when they were banished out of the Garden of Eden. The curse of Adam and Eve and the breaking away of the natural branch which is Israel was the salvation of those who were outside of the promise or of those who were not of the natural branch.
So God came to his own; and came that they might have life and might have it abundantly. The thief, on the other hand, comes to kill, to steal, and to destroy. Any teaching that brings forth death to people and not life is of the devil. Simply put, the severity of God is to creating, and so, is his goodness a force of creation.
Now, the scriptures is written for our correction and for our instruction in righteousness that we may be perfect and thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Now, the creation of the earth was by a great violent force, even so, the creation of a man to be holy and perfect is by a violent force, that is, the pulling down of strongholds and evil imaginations. Creation is a warfare in the spiritual and it manifests the severity of God to those who are wicked and evil that perhaps they may return to him in fear and obedience.
Know that God is creating a people and a nation peculiar and a royal priesthood. There is no way these creations cannot be holy and perfect for only the perfect can serve Him!
6Psalms 101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.7
Psalms 101:7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Now, the creation of God is never ending for in the heaven even the angels are being continually created in His image so that we see Lucifer falling from the standard of God's creation. This is the reason why God is creating also New Heavens and New Earth: a world without end.
The Goodness and Severity of God must be seen as the lovingkindness of God to his people who are undergoing a creation process for without the Spirit of Judgment man can never learn to fear God and will never come to worship Him. (To be continued... not yet done)
Just as Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were not singed by the fire God is also able to come to hell to torment the Devil and his angels without feeling the heat at hell! Know that there are levels of hell and according to the iniquity of the sin is the severity also of the punishment in hell nearer or farther away from the hell fire!
