These are my thoughts, please share yours.

 

6 This refers to the flood in Noah’s day, Genesis 6-9 is the story of Noah. Only 8 survived the flood, other than the animals they had, Noah and his wife, Shem and his wife, Ham and his wife and Japheth and his wife, everyone else died. This was the first and so far only judgment to fall on the whole earth.

 

7 The promise given to Noah was that the earth would never again end with a flood. This could refer to the world being destroyed by fire but most likely refers to the fire of hell which is where those who reject Christ will go for judgment.
