It's also an important story-lesson to learn by for Jews especially who struggle faith after the horibble things done to them through history especially during the Holocaust. THE ATTAINMENT of Shalem, to reflect and manifest that Essence to be all we could and should be does not change when our children-people are allowed to suffer. If anything faith should be stronger and shared for itcs those in opposition to that Essence that are doing the evil acts against them. GOD IS that nature to oppose that destructive behavior, not that behavior doing it. The OP is failing the simplest of descriptions that God is not a anthropromorphic concept in the Hebrew teachings, therefore the adversary has tainted even the non believers how they perceive and read into the stories.
Thus coming away with the wrong conclusions and insights.
Hate to burst your bubble, but God is anthropomorphic.

God is not a man nor form-(Isaiah 2:22, 14:13, I Samuel 15:29, Numbers 23:19, and Hosea 11:9, Deuteronomy 4:11-12 and the 13 major principles of the Jewish faith based on the Rambam's teaching of "ain lo demus haguf ve'ayno guf" -- that Hashem has no physical form.)
Most sects of
Christianity tries to mesh the
Messenger of the Lord (form reflecting and manifesting God) with God (The Essence of Life-Creation) which is why they many times mesh their messiah with God as Moshiach is
a top (arch)refelection and manifestation (malalh=angel) of God(the Essence).
This is why you call the first fallen false messiah "the archangel" lucifer.
Hence the Shiloh is the rightful top reflection.
Which is why Theslonians says the voice of the arch(top) angel (reflection manifestation).
