Yep but it won't be a flood this time. God made a promise.
But Jesus gave us a parable that likely gives us the form of judgement/ cleansing that God will use this time around.
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, also known as the Parable of the Weeds, appears in the Bible in Matthew 13:24–43.
The parable is about a farmer who sows good seeds in his field, but while he sleeps, an enemy sows weeds among the wheat. When the servants ask the farmer why there are weeds in his field, he tells them that an enemy has done it. The farmer then instructs his servants to let the wheat and weeds grow together until harvest time, when they should gather the weeds first and burn them, and then gather the wheat into his barn.
Later in Matthew, the parable's elements are given further meaning:
The wheat: Represents "the children of the Kingdom" (Christians)
The tares: Also known as darnel or "false wheat", these weeds represent "the children of the evil one" (Unbelievers)
The harvest: Represents "the end of the age" (The end of sin and final judgment)
So right now Christians and unbelievers are together. When Jesus comes back for final judgment the wicked will be burned and the faithful will remain.
