What It Means
The flood of Noah's day did not wipe out wickedness once and for all. After the Flood, wicked people once again made life miserable for everyone. Soon, though, God will bring an end to wickedness. As the psalmist said: "The wicked will be no more," God will put and to wickedness by means of his Kingdom - a world government that rules from heaven over a righteous human society.
Consider: Will those presently ruling the earth welcome rule by God's Kingdom? The Bible indicates that they will not. Foolishly, they will oppose God's Kingdom. (Psalm 2:2) What will be the result? God's Kingdom will replace all human government, and "it stand alone forever." (Daniel 2:44) But why does human rulership need to end?
