It sound more like the behaviour of a military commander. Only Moses could meet him and his face was burned by looking at him directly. His personality and the orders he gave to Moses have similarities to Osama Bin Ladin as he orders the the destruction of 1,000,000s people for not following his religion. Any Explanation?

I see you haven't read the Bible. There are many appearances of God in the Old Testament of mercy and love and promises of salvation.
There are over 350 prophecies in the Old Testament perfectly fulfilled in Jesus Christ who died for our sins and rose again for our justification.
God does not change and is the same yesterday, today and forever.
This world is rightly under the judgement of God for man's rebellion and hatred of God and is to be destroyed, yet God in His mercy has provided a salvation, traced through the Old Testament with increasing revelation until it's perfect fulfilment in the appearing of Jesus Christ. Now, though justice might require an immediate judgement, yet God in His goodness and mercy delays in order that people may be given the opportunity of being saved and He waits with infinite longsuffering and mercy until the last one should come in. Then the end shall come.
He does bring man to judgement even in this life, amongst other reasons that we may see and look on, lay it to heart and learn.
Now you still have opportunity, do not despise the riches and goodness of His forbearance and longsuffering, which leads you to repentance, and do not harden your heart to treasure up judgement to yourself for that day of revelation of God's righteous judgement.

"For a child is born unto us, a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" Isaiah 9:6. No smoke, no fire, no noise, no death and destruction.

A cruel man believes in a cruel God, ever notice how cruel and agressive christians are? The God they worship is not something worthy of worship in my opinion, as for Satan he only did as Jehovah commanded him, and when he questioned his authority he was slapped down by the tyrant.

Whenever Yahweh appears in the Bible there is smoke, fire and noise and then death and destruction.?
NOPE--not always.
HE is THE GOD.
