>>>Lol. You think I’d persecute you for resting on the Sabbath?>>>>

Hahaha...you hate it now. Imagine when all hell is breaking loose. But how bizarre isn’t it? A church united on common doctrine persecuting a small remnant who keep the commandments of God instead of their commandments when all hell is breaking loose? I can tell you are a history buff and a Bible Scholar.

Revelation 12:17

“A church united on common doctrine persecuting a small remnant who keep the commandments of God instead of their commandments when all hell is breaking loose? I can tell you are a history buff and a Bible Scholar.”

There is a little bit of truth in your concerns about being persecuted by Antichrist. I don’t think you realize what that is going to look like. But the betrayal Christ spoke of in the Olivet Discourse, and the apostasy that Paul mentions in 2 Thessalonians, both appear to be referring to “Christians”, at least in name.

However, I’d do what I could to assist anyone fleeing persecution by the Antichrist. And if I hid a seventh-day adventist or similar professing follower of Jesus in my home, I’d insist that they keep the Sabbath according to their conscience. I just wouldn’t allow anyone to try to spread false religion to anyone else under my care. And teaching people that salvation requires Gentiles to physically rest on the Sabbath is definitely a false Gospel. And it violates the very spirit of that commandment.

Romans 14:1-7 NKJV
Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
