Micah 5:15

"And I will execute vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations which hearkened not."

The ultimate judgment of all humanity is in this. The toleration of the Almighty might indeed continue for an age; but sooner or later, rebellious and sinful humanity, intent upon serving their lusts and unmindful of the claims of a just and merciful God upon their lives, must endure the wrath of the Creator. As Paul expressed it:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18).

The times of the Messiah "in the last days" will be the time when the judgment of God shall fall upon all the world; and the forbearance of God for almost two thousand years since Messiah came does not annul the promise. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. The mention in this verse of, "the nations that hearkened not" indicates that there would be some among the heathen who would hear and obey God.
