This is what I found when my home study did a Jeremiah study. God is giving chance after chance after chance, watching his people fall father and father away from Him and the standards he set out for them. God only allowed other nations to drag them into exile because that was the only way to get them to turn back and cry out to him.
One thing about the Old Testament is the punishment of the people who disobeyed is waiting for the unbeliever today when he or she dies. God is trying to show us that nobody escapes, Old Testament or New Testament. If you think the punishment in the Old Testament was bad, think about what awaits the person of today in this verse... Hebrews chapter 10 verse 29 to 31. However, it doesn't have to be that way. Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21.
I love the way you put this! This was really helpful to put that 400 years into perspective. Especially given how much judgement and death there is in books like Joshua
because is not the same god, yaldabaoth is the dimurgue, the old testament god, who command sacrifices , allow slavery, mass killing and wars. By the other hand jesus represent the real god, wich is the real one and have no name. Who will help humanity to escape from the matrix( earth/ hell/phisycal world) because our souls belong to him. That why jesus said the god is in us and our body is his temple. Anything outside us , is not god, at least not the real one.
400 years is the blink of an eye

Old testament = some references from holy quran
New testament = some references and mostly written by humans

Wait are you gnostic
People don't have the knowledge of good and evil, if they think it's the same God.
Wait the land of caanaan? The cavemen?
