This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Them of the synagogue of Satan; so he calleth all Jews that opposed Christianity, or all pretended but not real professors.
Which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is of the flesh; but he is a Jew, which 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.
Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet; 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 loved thee; and to know that I have a greater kindness for thee than for them.
