A National God?

I think I explained that already. So that the judgment does not appear arbitrary and capricious to the one judged; so that the judged convict themselves and cast their delusions aside. So that all things are known.

Judgment does not just concern Yah, but all of us, and particularly the one judged.[/QUOTE)

If God is all knowing then he knew, and must have wanted evil to exist. It is sort of a big game, He allows evil and knew when he created Satan he was going to rebel, so then your God creates some people so he and Satan can play cruel games? Doesn’t add up to a very good being but a cruel being who loves to see people suffer, to test them (like Job) when he already knew the results! Even kills Job’s family to satisfy the whims of an evil being he created.
