Just because punishment is pronounced and executed upon the wicked doesn't mean that God stops loving, sometimes the mercy delivered is the just judgment, which puts an end to disease, death, destruction. It will be a sad day in heaven when this eternal verdict is made by God on such massive numbers, but sometimes it is as simple call to "get into the boat, the flood is coming" that decrees their own end.
We are in the last days when the call is "do not take the mark of the beast" and in order to figure out that one, you have know just how massive, invasive, multiheaded this beast is, in order to even begin to understand who the beast is and who is this whore riding it.
Then you have to figure out what did those people who are in [Rev 11:1] in the temple and receiving God's seal. These people because they have got into the "ark of the covenant" [pun intended] they will receive the seal of God and be protected from the plagues, wrath of the beast, and everything else that will be thrown at them in the whirlwind of the abomination of destruction.
