Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB

I've already explained one verse to you, but I see you intend to make a career out of stupidity. My advice to you is to go buy a Bible dictionary, Strong's being a good one. But then again, you may not understand it either! If you don't want to do that, then quit reading the Bible when you can't understand it. Go find a good Bible study and learn what the verses mean before you go throwing verses around thinking you have the answer.

You would do well to take a Bible 101 course and learn a bit about context. In the meantime, read the entire book of Zechariah and get a better idea what is going on.

People say that their God is an all forgiving person. They say that even in the worse of conditions He wouldn't forsake His children. If we're all children of God then why are there people who quote the bible to make their own thoughts right? God would not deny anyone entrance into His heaven or would He condone these acts. As those of religion say: "God is good."

In the Bible, god assists a lot of unsavory things, especially in the Old Testament. One of many reasons I'm not Christian.

nope, he was saying that when the Roman armies attack the jews(jerusalem), they will overrun the city, and rape women and destroy most of the cit, and the people possessions will be taken.

Yep. He assists in a lot more than that too but you won't get them (you know who i mean by "them") to admit it. But Yay, for plunder. I sure am excited.

God allows rape and plunder.
He allows a lot of stuff.
There are those things that He does not allow.
What things? They never happened, that is why you don't know of them.

Looks to me like foreseeing and not predetermining.
God protects people from all these calamities but he already knows what would happen to them if he withdraws his protection.
