Hence, Jesus promises them fruitage: Look! I will give those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and yet they are not but are lying-look! I will make them come and do obeisance before your feet and make them know I have loved you." (Revelation 3:9) Perhaps, as in Smyrna, the congregation has had problems with the local Jews. Jesus designates these as "the synagogue of Satan." Nevertheless, at least some of those Jews are about to realize that what the Christians have been preaching about Jesus is the truth. Their 'doing obeisance ' will likely be in the manner described by Paul at 1 Corinthians14:24, 25, so that they actually repent and become Christians, fully appreciating Jesus' great love in surrendering even his soul in behalf of his disciples. - 1 JOHN 15:12, 13.
