People's Commentary (NT)
Revelation 2:9
Tribulation. Affliction.
Poverty. Most of those first enlisted for Christ were poor. See
1 Corinthians 1:26-29.
But thou art rich. Rich in faith, hope and fruits.
And [I know] the blasphemy. Reviling of the Jews against the Lord.
Them who say they are Jews. Those who say that they are Jews were
of the Jewish race, but were not of the true Israel. "He is not a
(true) Jes who is one outwardly", etc. (Romans 2:28). John denies the
right of these Jewish opposers to use the term "Jews" in the sense of
God's chosen people. Their synagogue was
the synagogue of Satan. Such strong language implies a complete
separation of the church and synagogue, an event that occurred at the
period of the destruction of Jerusalem. See #Ac 21:20-26
