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.
Ver. 9. I will make them] The conversion of the Jews shall be the wonder of the Gentiles.
Which say they are Jews, and are not] The perverse Jews at this day pretend (but maliciously) that those few Jews that turn Christians are not of them, but poor Christians hired from other places to personate their part. (Blount's Voyage, p. 112.)
That I have loved thee] The Church is την ψυχην την ηγαπημενην, the "dearly beloved of God's soul," Jeremiah 12:7, or (as the Septuagint render it) his beloved soul.
