Yes, albert,something did change, we earned LIFE. We are no longer condemned to die because of our sins. This is how you know that, because you believe in Christ you will see the Kingdom of God. Christ gave his word to all nations, and now it is so beautiful to see that all people can receive the word of God.
Christianity is not just 'another' religion, it is the apex, the capstone of God's relationship with man. It doesn't get much better with that.

And,no offense Albert, but where are you getting these notions of Assyrianism?? Is there such thing as Koreanism? Assyrian is a nationality and not an '-ism' because there is no regimented practice of Assyrian. It is just a culture!! It is just a heritage, a geopolitical marker for us. It is NOT related to our spiritual being. How are we any different from Hittites, Cassites, Jews, Armenians, Sumerians...these are all just little tribes and UNIMPORTANT when it comes to the fundamnetal question of God's relationship with man.
You claim that the Assyrians repented in Jonah's time; that is true, but at this point God's plan was not yet manifested; the Messiah did not come yet. In the Old Testament God forgave people all the time but they still messed up, over and over again. When Christ was crucified and resurrected, forgiveness was fixed forever because God decided that man would live if he believed in Him, despite all the flaws and sins that we have.
Through one man sin entered the world, and through Christ that very sin was effaced, forever! That is breathtaking, humbling, soaring, uplifting, regenerating, eternal news ! Read the gospels, my Friend! THe gospels about Christ is talking about that SINGULAR MOMENT IN HISTORY WHERE THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT CHANGED FOREVER.

Please, please review your theological understanding of Christ before you invoke him in your discussion of Assyrianism!
I say this lovingly, and also because i'm scared that people believe this to be true....its sad to know that the Good News of Christ is being downplayed because we are a fleeting nation.

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
