This define the punishment/situation of the world today as we saw that we were like became punish by nature and by God itself to make us people realize our bad action also to remember that we are still a visitor in this.

The story decribe how the people's doing affect the world and the people itself who does the worst thing to destroy earth. It also focuses on the reality that happen today which I thought/guess that was the revenge of the mother Earth itself to its people.
