"If I shut up the heavens and there is no rain; if I command the locusts to ravage the land; or if I let loose pestilence against My people, when My people, who bear My name, humble themselves, pray, and seek My favor and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear in My heavenly abode and forgive their sins and heal their land."
II Chronicles 7:13-14

Notice what the ETERNAL Himself states about people in other nations other that Israel:
Isaiah 56:1 Thus says the YHWH: "Keep justice, and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who lays hold on it; Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil."
3 Do not let the son of the foreigner Who has joined himself to the YHWH Speak, saying, "The YHWH has utterly separated me from His people"; Nor let the eunuch say, "Here I am, a dry tree."
4 For thus says the YHWH: "To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant,
5 Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place and a name Better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name That shall not be cut off.
6 "Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the YHWH, to serve Him, And to love the name of the YHWH, to be His servants; Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And holds fast My covenant;
7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."
8 The [ETERNAL CREATOR], who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, "Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him."
