I appreciate the fact that you make a distinction between sadduccees and pharisees VS the normal, everyday jew. Too many around here painting them all with the same broad brush while simultaneously professing to be Christians. Jesus also made such a distinction, and it appears that even in the times of the book of revelation there is a distinction between "real Jews" and "those who claim to be but belong to the synogogue of Satan." Just like every other people group that has ever existed, they have factions within theirs, too.  And apparently, even outright imposters.
