Genesis 6:3

"Then the Lord said, 'My spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.'"  Genesis 6:3

According to the Qbible "mortal" can be translated as "flesh" and "to go astray or sin."  So it's not because of man's flesh and blood body that God will not always deal with man, but the fact that man has strayed and sinned.  Because of this God is numbering man's days to 120 years. 

Was God to end the world in 120 years?  Or is that the new life span?  Obviously God didn't end the world 120 years after that, otherwise we all wouldn't be here.
