Revelation 2:9
A single verse doesn't justify thing my fren. If u remain hyper focused on your own understanding your never gonna understand what we are saying.
Revelation 3:9
Haha 2 verses still same thing. Head over to c/Christianity and talk about the bible if u would like. Lots of great people over there
Get a historical grip. These verses do not refer to Jews in general or any future hypothesized "fake because I said so" Jews. The followers of Jesus are the true Jews, as Paul later tries to explain, and the adversaries of these early Messianic Jews are the rabbinical Jews who rejected Christ for various reasons: First, they'd be out of a job as divine mediators. Second, in the Roman world there was a political tension which led to certain advantages for the Jews, but not these upstarts following Jesus. When the Romans saw that the Jews they had been dealing with rejected the Messianic Jews/Christians, and figured out that the Pharisees were looking for a worldly Messiah and therefore more on the side of the Zealots, they started coming down on all Jews. Here's an article with some of the nuances. https://www.gotquestions.org/synagogue-of-Satan.html
By the way, the OT view of Satan was quite different from the modern one. You could look into that, too.
