Here are a few references to show the Lord has always been interested in all souls, even though the Jews were his “chosen” people.
Jeremiah gives a picture of God’s work through his prophets.
“The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him” (Jer. 28:8-9).
The prophet’s primary work was to rebuke Israel for evil and try to get them to return to him.
Israel was not the only nation who had one of God’s prophets.
God looks through all the earth for those who seek him.
“The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God” (Psa. 14:2).
God sent Jeremiah personally to many nations to prophesy.
“For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17 Then took I the cup at the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: 18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; 19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; 20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, 21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, 21 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, 22 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, 24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, 25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, 26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them (Jer. 25:15-26).
Jonah prophesied to Nineveh at God’s command.
God prophesied to many nations in the scriptures themselves.

“The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. 2.

Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease” (Isa. 21:1-2).

The whole book of Obadiah is a prophecy of Edom, not Israel

MULIEBRAL VIEWPOINT 
Then the verses in Haggai 2:17–I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail
in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.
Why do we not think, in our trying times, to turn to God?

Why is it that some only see the Heavenly Father as a vengeful god? Yes, he will take vengeance one day but the passage in Romans 2:4 says so much more!
Romans 2:4–Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Yes! Throughout the scriptures God’s love for ALL his creation is abundantly clear, even in his prophesies against them. Both his goodness and his severity are meant to cause us all to think. We should never grow careless with our thoughts, but consider each and every day the goodness of a God and our obligation to serve him.
Romans 2:4
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
1 Samuel 12:23-24. Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: 24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
Haggai 2:17
17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail
in all the labours of your hands;
yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord.
Ps 107
Isaiah 9:13
13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them,
neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.
Psalms 10:4-6
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God:
God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous;
thy judgments are far above out of his sight:
as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:
for I shall never be in adversity.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
