Reformed Eschatology Ping List (REPL)

[Iscool]

They may claim to be Jews (people of God), but they are not such at all, but rather a synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9). Clearly then, national and ethnic Israel no longer stands in a special position of privilege. It is no longer the kingdom of God, and Jews are no longer God’s special people. He has visited their iniquities, desolated their nation, wrenched away from them the kingdom, and found them to be Satanic.

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)

The above referring to the church at Smyrna...

and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

It DOES NOT say 'those which are Jews'...It says 'those which say they are Jews'...

There are people who say they are Jews, and they are...

There are others who say they are Jews and they are not...Those others who claim to be 'Israel/Jews' and are not are the church of Satan...
