Deuteronomy7:7NIV"The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples."
Matthew22:14NIV"For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
Luke6:26NIV"Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets."
Matthew7:14NIV"But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Matthew7:21-23NIV"“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’"
Matthew5-11,12NIV"“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Judges7:2NIV"2The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.’ "
The Lord JEHOVAH is a majority all by himself thus unsurprisingly his view of numbers is very different from that of mere men.
