1. Was it Jesus exposing their traditions, and hitting them in the pocket book ??. No, the Bible says they were jealous. Matt 27:18 for those who do not know their Bible very well and do not know this answer.
2. How many people will be faithful to Jesus ?? The same number who are faithful daily. But since there is no boogeyman "Antichrist" coming (none mentioned in Revelation) there is no particular terrible time point for the world but these time points occur individually in our lives. One builds a life of being faithful by being faithful in the little. Luke 16:10 for those who do not know the Bible very well and so need references.
3. Who will have gospel armory on ??. Those who practice:
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth,: seek truth not comforting theology.
and having put on the breastplate of righteousness: Do that which God wants you to do
15and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace: Be ready to refute those who oppose you with forgiveness bringing peace
16In all circumstances take up the shield of faith: understand what God has promised and believe it.
, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; refuse to accept the fear and doubt the enemy tries to get you to accept into your mind
17and take the helmet of salvation: Protect your mind from accusation by reminding yourself of the forgiveness you have received (which is what salvation is)
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: read and learn the scripture by heart. Be able to recognize scripture when quoted and stop requiring others to spoon feed you. KNOW the scriptures. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." This is a command form for us to do.
