Rev 3:9
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
KJV
Jesus said that to His elect of the Church at Philadelphia. He said He set an open door before them that no man can shut, because they kept His Word and did not deny His name.
This verse reveals Christ's enemies coming to worship at the feet of Christ's elect. Put your thinking cap on; just when is that to happen?
That "synagogue of Satan" represents the workers of iniquity here on earth given to serve Satan (Jude 1 crept in unawares). Some think this label means any Jew that rejects our Lord Jesus of Nazareth as The Messiah, i.e., like the scribes and Pharisees of Israel that had our Lord Jesus crucified. It actually goes deeper than that, as the main ones behind His murder were followers of the devil, and Jesus pointed them out in Scripture like John 8.
So have they? has that "synagogue of Satan" ever come to bow in worship to Christ at the feet of Christ's Church today, or at any time in the past? No. It has not. That synagogue of Satan is still at war against Christ and His Church today, and will be even more so in the future time of great tribulation. When will they bow then?
Phil 2:10-11
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
KJV
Every knee will bow, and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That is to happen when Jesus returns to reign over all nations and peoples on this earth with a rod of iron (1 Cor.15:23-28; Psalms 2; Rev.2:25-29).
But some men say when our Lord Jesus returns, the wicked all perish. Yet there in Rev.3:9 we are shown the greatest enemies of Christ being made to bow in worship at the feet of His elect of the Church of Philadelphia!
That has to mean those wicked are still going to exist after Christ's 2nd coming! Because those wicked certainly are not prophesied in Scripture to bow in worship before Christ's elect at any... time during this present world! That has to happen in the world to come.
Therefore, because those of the synagogue of Satan bowing in worship at the feet of Christ's elect is not set for this present world, and they are not yet destroyed after Christ's 2nd coming, it reveals the time of Christ's Millennial reign is for the world to come. This is also what the Zechariah 14 Scripture also reveals:
Zech 14:16-19
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
