Revelation3:9
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan , which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie , behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet , and to know that I have loved thee .
So he calleth all Iews that opposed Christianity, or all pretended, but not real Professors.
For he is not a Jew, that is a Jew outwardly, neither is that Circumcision which is of the Flesh; but he is a Jew that is one inwardly, &c. Rom. 2.28, 29. By this term also he may mean all false and hypocritical Professors, who would make themselves the Church, the only Church of God, but are far enough from it, hating, maligning, and opposing those who would keep stricter to the Rule of the Gospel.
I will by my Providence so order it, that these Men shall come and honour thee, paying a civil Respect and Homage to thee.
And to know that I have a greater Kindness for thee, than for them.
