The anticipation in prophetic eschatology that both Israel and the nations will come under God's judgment, and that the nations will share in the salvation that comes to Israel, makes a simple opposition between the two categories increasingly difficult to maintain as the history of redemption unfolds.
--Daniel C. Timmer, A Gracious and Compassionate God: Mission, Salvation and Spirituality in the Book of Jonah (New Studies in Biblical Theology; Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 2011), 29.
