Do you suppose the expression 'it's raining cats and dogs' originated with the flood?
For 120 years, Noah preached, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" They laughed at Noah. Who had ever heard of rain?
It is not all that different, today. "The end is coming! The end is coming!" But who, in this generation, has ever seen God's wrath? Besides, that is for the lost ? right? That is not what God said (Ep. 5:6).
The Bible was not written for the lost (1 Co. 2:14). God told us whom He meant (II Ch. 7:14).
In Co. 3:6, God makes another reference to the children of disobedience. Perhaps, He knew we would not get it the first time? Not very many people survived the flood. They did not get it either.
Instead of researching every instance of sin to make sure we are covered, there is an easier solution. The opposite of disobedience is obedience. God counts faith as obedience and righteousness (Ro. 16:26, Ga. 3:6). Two for the price of one; now, that is a pretty good deal!
You could do a thousand 'do good' deeds a day, obey the laws like a robot, and God would not be impressed (Co. 2:20-21, Ro. 7:6).
What God wants most is the relationship; walking with Him, talking with Him, listening for and believing Him (enough to take whatever step of faith He provides in meeting your need). All God ever wanted was a friend (Ja. 2:23). There is no wrath for God's friends (Ro.8:1), but a wonderful relationship instead (II Co. 3:3, 17).
