Chris.
God never wants to destroy His People. Much of what we read of God's Dealings with His People is about His Blessing them. In Joel, because of the unrepentant behaviour of His People, God sent locusts to attack and strip them. It is only when His People turn back to Him that God turns everything around and then His Blessing comes upon them.
