Annhilation of the Caananites

I just read a very helpful thought from D.A. Carson's For the Love of God, Vol. 1 concerning God's judgment of the Canaanites through the slashing attacks of the people of Israel. I hope it is helpful for your own thinking about this difficult truth:

"Although the annhilation of the Canaanites fills us with embarrassed horror, there is a sense in which (dare I say it?) we had better get used to it. It is of a piece with the Flood, with the destruction of several empires, with hell itself. The proper response is Luke 13:1-5: unless we repent, we shall all likewise perish" (From the entry for June 5th).
