And there we have a modern-day replay of some of the events that led early Christians to start worshipping on Sunday in the first place -- a desire to escape identification with Jews, and thus to escape the persecutions of the Jews.

Exactly, John! It will happen again when things get tough in America for Sabbath-keepers;

"With some there is an outward show, a form of godliness, but there is no real power; and against them is pronounced the sentence "Thou art weighed in the balances, and found wanting." They are deficient, yet, in false confidence; they are deceiving themselves and misleading others. Yielding to Satan's sophistry, they stand on a false track, and by their representations endeavor to tear down truths that God has made fast, never to be moved. By their course, the inexperienced are led to wonder whether these special truths are not, after all, errors that ought to be shunned. When brought into strait places, they will give up the Sabbath and its powerful endorsement, and the more they are opposed in their apostasy, the more self-sufficient and self-deceived they become. They have lifted up their souls unto vanity, and God says: [Revelation 3:3-5 quoted]. {10MR 46.4}
