Jews love to exploit Christians. While the role of the Israelites is important for the Old Testament, the New Testament offers little praise of the Jews and even reveals their association with Satan in Revelation.
All Rev 3:9 does is reveal there are satanists who lie and call themselves Jews. It doesn't say anything about the whole race.
Doesnt Jesus call jews "the sons of the devil" ?
At the mount of olive, in John 8, after "let he without sin cast the first stone" and "the truth shall make you free" addressing the Pharacies and Jews who had gathered to stone an adulterous woman, he calls those who did not believe his teaching sons of the devil. This includes the Pharacies but does not include all present.

I dont think jews were Israelites. As I recall the 10 tribes of Israel lived in Israel. While the jews lived in Judea.
Acts 7 Stephen's Speech to the Sanhedrin
Actually even the Old Testament hates the jews for the most part. As I recall God said that Judea (kingdom of jews) was a bigger whore than Israel (kingdom of not jews). And blessed many nations to destroy the kingdom and rape its women and take its men into slavery. As I recall.
And in the New Testament, I believe only Judas the traitor was actually jewish. With the rest being from different tribes, Paul being from benjamin and Jesus and His mother being from Levi. Its why He was allowed to preach in temples many times, a role reserved only for those from Levi.
