 * Toleration

God can choose to destroy nation and people if he wants to. He's only tolerating us until the appointed time out of mercy. It's his discretion when to let judgement pass on whomever whenever. Hence, the conquest of Canaan.

I think too, even if we perfectly followed the law, God could still destroy us. Perhaps in order to replace us with something better (if that is possible) or just something different, or nothing at all. The only way it could violate Gods character is if he made promises, or if our souls are some kind of more special spiritual legal entity that should not be unjustly destroyed.

This is the primary lesson of Romans 9 - well, a narrow view of it.
