This question will probably come off the wrong way like most of mine, but why is it in private revelations God seems to want to kill us all? Three days of darkness that will knock you dead on the spot if you forgot to close your blind? Fire falling from the sky killing everybody all over the place? etc. I thought God loved us, not wanted us all dead in a heap. I know that no one is required to believe in any private revelations, and an approval only means there is nothing contradicting church teachings, but why are they all like this?
 
I’m not sure what specifically you are referring to…but its important to remember that death is not a punishment. It’s not even something bad. For those that die early, they are just being called home earlier than they thought.

If God loved me as much as I think…He’d take me home right now! 🙂

Really though, it’s a common misconception that people have…“why is God killing people” or “Why does God let people die?” My question is…why do you think death is bad?
 
Maybe a merciful God is warning people.

Most of the prophets spend their time warning people of imminent danger.

John the Baptist asks, “Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?”

Jesus was no different and gave numerous warnings to his apostles and disciples, most notably the warning to flee to the mountains when the signs that Jerusalem was about to be destroyed appeared.

I don’t know of any private revelation approved by the Church that says this
do you have a source?
 
I don’t really see the point in even worrying about it, I mean if God wanted to he could just squash earth with a giant pancake or something and drown the survivors with syrup. Besides, even if something that crazy did happen it’s not like we would live forever on earth otherwise - we ARE all literally going to die some day 😃 [sadism]. I’ll just go with whatever God has in store.

God does love us. But what’s important to God is our souls - not our bodies. Even if fire rains down and destroys us all, our immortal souls will not die (those in the state of Grace, anyway). So God is not killing anyone. He would simply be separating us from our physical bodies. Since God is the one who has given us our physical bodies, He is the only one with the right to take it away.
