Of course, there will come a time in the future when they will all be out of step but "John".
The apostle John is a candidate for who we believe might be one of the two witnesses.
Whether he will be or not, it is true that the two witnesses will be proclaiming the truth to a world that is against them with one accord in everything that they believe.
Therefore, I would say that there are times when the one who is in the minority has the truth when the majority is in error.
It is even written in holy scripture,
Mat 7:13, Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14, Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
That would indicate to me that the majority is going to have it wrong most of the time.

A word of caution. 95% of the preserved manuscripts, versions, and lectionaries all agree and are called either the traditional Hebrew or traditional Greek texts. However, about 5% or less of the manuscripts are in fact corruptions and should have been totally discarded. Instead they gained ascendency from the late 19th century. So you have TWO STREAMS of Bibles. And the corrupted versions have thousands of errors, omissions, additions, transpositions, alterations, etc.

I am only trying, studying, listening for God's voice, and praying and I am mere "man". but of this I am absolutely sure is the truth. It is wrong to say that the men who transcribed the KJV could divorce themselves completely from their fleshly natures and never hear a word of the world but only that of the Holy Spirit as they translated the word of the Lord. That would be as foolish as saying that the Lord did not help them and we are not to believe any of the KJV. We are to test the spirits.
The seven hills are seven literal hills. It's not a metaphor. The seven churches are seven literal city fellowships in what is now Western Turkey; they don't represent the whole world.
I'd encourage you to pay closer attention to what the Scripture actually say, and less attention to what people (including me) tell you it means. That way, you're much less likely to be thrown about by every wind of doctrine.

Whats more important to god? land? or our closeness to him it's not just 7 hills = nations because all the worlds governments belong to the devil and the devil is a slave to the harlot,,for the [harlot is sin] she ride him = controls him, no evil pun intended the [beast in that context is the devil] If the mystery harlot is sin then of course the 7 hills would be the 7 deadly sins,, that are in our heart,,and either way they would be with in,for both heaven and hell are within.,,,se lah 
side note: Scripture is not Scripture until god is talking to you.
side note: Scripture is not Scripture until god is talking to you. Now wait just one minute. You preach that the KJV is never to be questioned, we are not to test the spirit, that man can be infallible. I find that idea is contrary to what scripture tells me. I know God does not need me to speak up for God, but I also don't want anyone to think that even if I am only one imperfect person and my testimony is not worth much, I do want to be sure that if it is the truth as I know it, my voice will speak for truth and I do the best I can. I find saying we are not to question a translation including the KJV is not the truth as scripture gives it to us.

Wrong; Scripture is God talking to us.
Thanks for saying us however some see but can't preceive hear yet cannot understand.even if our interpretation is based on speculation does not of itself make us wrong.the word is not a cook book, do this get this, it,,it's more like a hidden treasure,,,thus the name Israel means to contend with god,,,where a name such as Islam means to be obedient to god.Again scriputure is god not written words
