The Synagogue of Satan

In the second chapter of Revelation we read about Jews who call themselves Jews but are not, they lie, they are of the synagogue of Satan.  We get a description in Romans 2:28 - For he is not a Jew who is so in what is external alone (appearance), nor is that only physical circumcision, which is visible in the flesh. But he is a Jew by what is hidden and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter whose praise in not from men, but from Elohim.

In Paul’s day there were many who had been born as Jews and circumcised on the eighth day of life as a sign of the covenant, but according to Paul they were not all really Jews because there was no inner substance to compliment their outer form. It was this kind of Israelite that YHWH had earlier condemned saying, “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.” (Isaiah 29:13)

Some studies suggests that the Samaritans supplanted the real Jews after the destruction of Jerusalem. I need to look into this before commenting.

Texe Marrs gives us another perspective:

Here is a quote from his webpage:
Thankfully, there are a few Jews—but only a few—who have been able to escape the almost irresistible spiritual impulse to ally themselves with the Synagogue of Satan. Their escape has been made possible due to their faith in the only One who has the power to resist the Evil One's grip. I refer, of course, to (Y'shua Messiah), Deliverer of Israel. But, watch out! I have discovered that many Jews who claim to be "Christians" are actually Zionist deceivers. Masquerading as "Messianic Jews," in fact they are covert propagandists for the Synagogue of Satan. "By their fruits ye shall know them."

Please remember I am searching out who Y'shua is calling the 'synagogue of Satan' and that I am not attacking an ethnic group. We are all part of His Creation and His Word is for all of us to read, study and understand.
