The reason was already given: "The majority who fall for the Antichrist are going to perdition".

Just as democracy is not in our ultimate future, nor is the majority opinion of wikki's as the majority rejects Christ. Think of majorities as temporary measures of dealing with sin nature however inadequate. The obedience of the body of Christ to the head is the foretaste of what is to come, perfect harmony in the new city and new earth of those who are saved. The 12 apostles were not in the majority, just as today, the view of those in the body of Christ are also a minority. When you finally accept this, you realize there is a spiritual warfare going on both externally and internally. Read War On the Saints by Jessie-Penn Lewis to see how deep that war goes, and to help you experience it, begin by allowing God to divide your spirit, soul and body which I notice in your profile you are uncertain whether we are tripartite beings and how that applies to spiritual life.
