This verse was brought up in defense of it being God's will of women being raped.
Zechariah 14:2 KJV
(2) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Not a good defense for a standard of society concerning rape at all, now is it?
That verse was only used to show that God does allow rape as a punishment.....nothing more.
Especially considering that God allows both good and bad things to happen to both the just and the unjust.
We see here that's talking about how we are all children of God and His love is for all men equally.
Matt. 5 (44) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (45) That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (46) For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
BUT, that does not take away the principle of reaping what we sow right here in this life. Any more than the law of gravity takes away the law of "like begetting like" or "times and seasons".
We get back to the fact that there are consequences in this life for our behavior. The unjust are drawn from the darkness to the light when they suffer the consequences for their bad behavior in this life.
The just are chastened in this life as sons. We reap what we sow....chastening for our bad behavior.
Heb. 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: (6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Even when not being chastened, God is able to use our suffering for His own purposes of growth and for us to be able to comfort others.
Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; (4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
2 Cor. 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
