I don't think that he does. While we are under sentence of death, I believe many die prematurely due to their own or others actions. For example, a horrific, fatal car crash caused by a drunk or distracted driver is the fault of the driver, not God. I believe the Bible teaches we can extend or shorten our lives by our own actions and decisions. Moses told the Israelites: "I take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today that I have put life and death before you, the blessing and the curse; and you must choose life so that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving Jehovah your God, by listening to his voice, and by sticking to him, for he is your life and by him you will endure a long time in the land that Jehovah swore to give to your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." (Deuteronomy 30:19,20
