P.S
90% of the Jews followed the Pharisees and High Priest. Don't gloat in your numbers for there is nothing new under the sun. The road to destruction is wide and many go in there. But the straight and narrow is found by few, if we hold Christ to be correct in his statement. So your point of having so many followers and people backing you does your cause no good. That is the ways of man to see protection in numbers.
What of Gideon? what of his numbers? What of the prophets and their numbers against those who taught what was contrary to God? What were their numbers in comparison to those who did not stay faithful to God? What were the numbers of those "Jews" who denied their messiah because of their established traditions? Where they not wrong in their traditions and teaching that they claimed was handed down to them from Moses? And they claim today the apostles passed this down when in fact, Rome did. The same one that is looked upon as a harlot, is the one who started the traditions of today. Yet when one speaks the truth against them and their subjects and factions, just as with all the other times. The people followed their traditions and only a few, heard and obeyed. Your numbers are as they should be for the message you preach.
With Love,
