Revelation 3:9


9 Take note! I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn and acknowledge that I have loved you.

One day the chosen ones will have those who have opposed them acknowledge that we were truly of God and that what our Father had spoken through us was right! Every true Christian will have this happen for them. 

Here is a great place to ask the question, when will the evil people of the world bow down before us and acknowledge that we were right? Because every time in the New Testament when one man bows to another we are told that it is wrong? Yet, Jesus clearly tells us that the wicked will bow down before us and acknowledge openly that we were right. 

This event happens after Jesus returns. Because when Jesus returns all of His chosen ones, whether we are alive or dead in Him, will be transformed to be just like Him. We are changed from being men, to being just like Jesus. Men are not to bow down to each other. 

Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [ as God's children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him just as He [really] is. 1 John 3:2

The wicked will bow to us during the Millennial Reign of Christ and beyond. Notice that we are shown that when they bow down to us that they are taught, not that they are punished or demeaned. We will rule as Jesus rules, by serving and loving those who we are empowered to rule over. This brings up another great Truth, how will the wicked learn if they are in Hell? Why would they learn that Jesus loved them if they were in Hell? This is so awesome and if you want a complete answer go to the posts that study on “Is Hell Eternal.” 

I was always taught that the wicked are sent to Hell for all of eternity to live in anguish, torment, and fear. Yet Jesus tells us that the wicked will be around us and have to acknowledge and learn from us. The Truth is awesome and there is a ton of Truth concerning what Jesus spoke to the Church of Philadelphia. 

Jesus tells us in John 6:39 that He will not lose any that He has been given. He then tells us in John 17:2 that He has been given all flesh. Jesus is not going to lose the wicked. Grace will forgive them and they will learn the Truth that will set them free. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:14 that it takes an anointed preacher for people to hear the Truth that will set them free. We are those anointed preachers and our anointing is not just for this time, it is for all of eternity. The wicked will hear the Truth. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus as Lord, Romans 14:11. Our Groom will not lose anyone to Hell, except one, the son of perdition, Judas, John 17:12. The wicked will learn the Truth from us and they will be forever our guests, both the good and the bad, Matthew 22:10.
