rev 2:9 and Rev 3:9 warning in taking Jewish promises for gentile for today
I have never heard that before. In Rev 2:9 and 3:9 Jesus was explaining to the early churches that those in the synagogues, who were creating terror amongst the early churches, were not really Jews as everyone believed; but were working for Satan. True Jews were/are circumcised in the spirit:
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
rev 3:9 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.
"For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, b ut of God." -- Rom 2:28-29 Jews during law period
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus
Jesus was merely restating, in different words, his earlier encounter with the self-proclaimed Jews:
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." -- Jn 8:44
Romans 10:12, 1 jn 3:9
