IS-RA-EL IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN🕍👿

The Truth About the ‘Synagogue of Satan’ - https://israelmyglory.org/article/the-truth-about-the-synagogue-of-satan/🕍👿
What did the Lord mean when He used the words synagogue of Satan in His revelation to His beloved apostle John in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9?

The Greek word translated “synagogue” literally means “an assembly.” The word Satan means “adversary.” So John was told that the believers in Smyrna and Philadelphia would suffer persecution from “an assembly of the adversary”—literally, “a gathering of Satan.”

The phrase does not mean that Jewish people are satanic or devil worshipers. It means only that Jewish people in Smyrna and Philadelphia persecuted believers. They did not comprehend the message of God’s grace as revealed to the fledgling church. This was so because they were being prejudiced by their teachers and, being uninformed, were encouraged to oppose the early Christians, many of whom were Jewish.

These two verses (2:9; 3:9) have led to much anti-Semi -tism down through the centuries. Some Gentiles (including some Christians) have used them to deny the Jewish heritage of Christianity and even go so far as to deny that Jesus Himself was Jewish. However, such people do so because of personal prejudice, blind hatred, and ignorance concerning whom the Bible is identifying in these two verses.

There is not much difference between the unbe -lieving Jewish people in Revelation and the unbelieving Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted the church unto death (Acts 9:1–2; 22:20). Saul, in his unregenerate state, thought “the Way,” meaning the early church, was wrong and contrary to Judaism. So he attacked it and sought to destroy it.

Later, when he met the resurrected Lord Jesus on the Damascus Road, his life was transformed; he ceased persecuting the church and became the apostle Paul, a believer in Jesus the Messiah.

The late scholar Dr. Harry A. Ironside, in his commentary on Revelation, suggested another possible interpretation of the verses. Perhaps there was still an attempt to make Gentile Christians become Jewish before they became followers of Jesus. This heresy of Judaizing was first addressed by Paul in his letter to the Galatians. Wrote Ironside, such advocates “oppose the truth of grace and seek in every way to hinder the carrying out of the principles…pleasing to the Lord.”1 They “put the consciences of Christians under the bondage of Jewish legalism, thus really doing Satan’s work.”2

Perhaps the correct position is a hybrid of both interpretations. The important thing to keep in mind is that the Bible teaches that Christians will have tribulation and persecution. Yet they are not to hate or despise the perpetrators. Believers are to love them, pray for them, and do good, so “they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Mt. 5:16).

Nice view. I believe you covered the bases.
Only suggestion might be – – you seem to have downplayed the word “synagogue” as used in the KJV.

Am not positive though – that – you put in enough qualifiers. I might suggest – you should have possibly said – in this current age – we should behave in such and such a way, not condemning but turning the other cheek, even as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did. (I tend to try to hedge my bets a bit more, i guess.) There just seems to be something in the air, at the moment, that suggests a change might be coming.

I guess we don’t realize who the Kenites are do we? The descendants of Cain who claim to be Jewish and are not but are of the synagogue of Satan. Maybe we should study our Bible more and in particular Genesis because if you don’t understand Genesis then you cannot possibly understand the rest of the Bible.

My understanding of The Bible is imperfect, however, my claim has survived your rebuttal if only because you have decided to attack me and not my argument.

Someone once said that when dealing with those who disagree with us that we should not “hate or despise the perpetrators. Believers are to love them, pray for them, and do good, so “they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”

Good advice, but clearly difficult to put into practice.

God bless.

Well this is what the Synagogue of Satan wants you to do, but everyone has to defend their faith and Self Defense of themselves and their families. You have the right before almighty God to Defend your Country, Your life ,Your Family and your property. They would like you to submit unto Death, with their control death Jabs. They are the synagogue of Satan. You don’t Obey Satanists and Luciferians, You destroy them.

Jesus says they’re satan’s children.
Jesus says when they meet satan’s presence shows up (meeting place of satan)–Gods presence is the mark that proves who His people are (Ex 33).

This is because they are satan’s people.

They are not Gods people nor God’s children because they got another god for themselves, so now God got another people who are His children (Deut 32:5, 21; Hos 1:9,10).

I didn’t realise that Cain’s children were the synagogue of satan! Thx 🙏 for informing me! I think 🤔 the Jews sealed their fate when they stoned Stephen! You can read the Bible many times & each time you will find something new, that you didn’t know b4! I wish you ALL a beautiful week! Please read Genesis 2:123! God Almighty & Jesus rested on the 7th day of the original week! There were no Jews yet! It’s not the Jewish sabbath! The 7th day has never changed in all these many years! Check it out!
