Revelation 3:9

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.

I will make - present, 'I make;' 'I give' (note, ). The promise to Philadelphia is larger than to Smyrna. To Smyrna it was that "the synagogue of Satan" should not prevail against the faithful in her; to Philadelphia, that she should even win over some of "the synagogue of Satan" to fall on their faces and confess God is in her of a truth (). Translate, '(some) of the synagogue.' For until Christ shall come, when all Israel shall be saved, there is but "a remnant" being gathered out of her "according to the election of grace" (). This shows how Christ set before her an "open door" - some of her greatest adversaries, the Jews, being brought to the obedience of faith. Their worshipping before her feet expresses the converts' willingness to take the lowest place in the Church, doing servile honour to those whom once they persecuted, rather than dwell with the ungodly (). So the Philippian gaoler before Paul.
