God didn't punish the Ethiopians to warn the Jews. He punished the Jews.
As Jesus said (or asked) "Do you think that only the wicked died when that tower fell?"
This kind of thinking seems to be a kind of folk theology.

How do you explain the events depicted in Revelation then, that is, all the judgement that are purposefully poured out? Is that done because God hates man or loves man?
