Abraham believed that God would provide another sacrifice, which He did. Moreover, that instance happened to foreshadow the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

It wasn't what the children did - it was the sins of the father, as I previously mentioned.
You might say that that isn't justice. Well, who are you to say it isn't? How do you know what awaits the child in the next life? Perhaps God will make them forget the agony of death, as our early memories are so often forgotten. Perhaps they will be rewarded to counter-balance their suffering. Who knows? Only God.
And how about the end result? If we are all to inherit eternal life, then any suffering we endure in these lives is less than temporary. As terrible as the suffering of children may be, it is not in vain; people will know by these things the wrath of God, and understand how little tolerance He has for evil. It is a lesson everyone must learn.
God never said it would be easy.

Are you argueing with God? Or do you have evidence I'm not?
If you are going somewhere with this, please get to the point.
