"If my people will humble themselves, theI will" it is a quote from the Chronicles 2 17:12-14 as posted a post above. 

At that time the people of God included only the Israelites who were in the Covenant of Sinai with the Lord God. 

And they were spoken from God to Solomon.  

And many Israelites had turned to Idols. These words were spoken about the Israelites who were worshiping the Idols.  

God called the Israelites who were worshiping the Idols his people. This is something to thing about, and in this context God spoken these words to Solomon. 

And in that context God was calling them to repentance. He was telling Solomon that I will forgive them if they forsake the Idols and turn to him. 

God wanted them to know that he will not do to them what he did to some of them when he killed them when they worshiped the Golden Calf. Specifically God said that for the Israelites who were worshiping the Idols during the rein of King Solomon. That context is not calling the Gentiles to repentance and the big issue it would be it has to be of how did they repent, what they had to do that can be counted as their repentance. 

That of course it is not a similar way with the believers in Jesus Christ who they repent in Jesus Christ name and not in the way of the old Testament who had to offer sacrifices in the Temple and oblige them selves to ceremonial cleansing laws. 

We repent to Jesus who died for the forgiveness of our sins and who is alive forever more and we are his people and he is alive that's why we repent to him.

They did not have the Slain Lamb of God the Israelites had the sacrifices in the Temple and the Gentiles had none. Because God was the God of the Israelites and we today we worship Jesus who is the Savior of all people in the world. The Savior for both Jews and Gentiles and everyone is grafted to Jesus Christ and the people of God before Jesus who died in the Old Testament had to be included in Jesus Christ because  there is only one way to the Haivenky Father and this is in Jesus Christ. 

So the Gentiles are saved in the same way as the Israelites by being included in the tree of life the tree of eternal life who is the Everlasting Jesus Christ, the only way to the Heavenly Father. 

It was appointed from before the foundation of the world that the Heavenly Father will have Children sanctified and justified by the blood of the Slain Lamb of God who is Jesus Christ. Only the children of Jesus Christ have the Heavenly Inheritance after death not the children of the Law. Who were the children of Abraham because they were the children of Abraham and the Circumcision.  Those children did not have the Heavenly Inheritance which came only in Jesus Christ.

Psalm 8

8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Habakkuk 3

17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,

    nor fruit be on the vines,

the produce of the olive fail

    and the fields yield no food,

the flock be cut off from the fold

    and there be no herd in the stalls,

18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord;

    I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

19 God, the Lord, is my strength;

    he makes my feet like the deer's;

    he makes me tread on my high places.
