Why was God please with the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia?

Question

Could it be because they thought who the Kenites are?
Smyrna:
Rev 2: 9"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan"
Philadelphia:
Rev 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."
In Genesis 3:15 God talking to the devil: "15And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."
Enmity between the seed of Eve and the seed of satan; the descendents of Cain.
In John 8:44 "Ye are of [your] father the devil…" Jesus talking to the Kenites. The so called "Jews", not the true house of Judah

Answer 1

Amen. Smyrna and Philadelphia knew / know who the Kenites are.....Kenites are the sons of Cain.

Answer 2

Jesus has no criticism for his brothers in Smyrna, only warm commendation. They have suffered much tribulation because of their faith. Materially they are poor, likely because of their faithfulness. (Hebrews 10:34) Their main concern, however, is with spiritual things, and they have stored up treasures in heaven, as Jesus advised. (Matthew 6:19, 20) Hence, the Chief Shepherd views them as being “rich.”—Compare James 2:5.

BROTHERLY AFFECTION—what a desirable quality! No doubt Jesus has this in mind when he presents his sixth message, which is directed to the congregation in Philadelphia, for that name means “Brotherly Affection.” The aged John still recalls the occasion, more than 60 years earlier, when Peter insisted three times to Jesus that he, Peter, had warm affection for his Lord. (John 21:15-17) Are the Christians in Philadelphia, on their part, showing brotherly affection? Apparently they are!

Located about 30 miles southeast of Sardis (at the site of the modern Turkish city of Alasehir), the Philadelphia of John’s day is a fairly prosperous city. More noteworthy, however, is the prosperity of the Christian congregation there. With what joy they must have received the minister that came traveling to them, likely by way of Sardis! The message he carries has stirring counsel for them.

Answer 3

The church of Smyrna:

Rev. 2:9 (NIV)
I know your afflictions and your poverty--yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

God was pleased with the church of Symrna because they were very poor and they were standing up to great suffering. God tells them they will continue to suffer and some would die for Christ but stand strong...He has the crown of life for them.


The church of Philadelphia:

Rev. 3:8 (NIV)
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

This church was small in number...but they were faithful to preaching Christ. They did not stop preaching Christ because of the persecution they would face for it.

______

God calls Christians to be similar. We are not to be silent witnesses of Christ. The early church knew that preaching Christ most likely meant painful death to them and their families.

I do believe we need to rethink the false teachings that God wants us "Healthy, wealthy...and happy".

No, God wants us to preach Christ...and if we are doing that, we will be persecuted.
