SDAs clearly present a view of the future that includes the prediction that even Christians will become "intolerant" of other Christian views to the point of "Thought police" tactics against even other Christians who do not share their views.
But what about today? Are there areas of Christian discussion (not CF of course - not joking here) - where if you "think to yourself" that the prediction that in the future intolerance will arise is a true prediction - and you can be coaxed into admitting "you think that" - you can be banned?
Yes!
Absolutely YES! that is a reality today.
==================================
Thought-police will see you condemned/banned/refused-employment for "having religious thoughts" that they do not approve. In one case it has to do with predicting that in the future intolerance will arise.
But in other cases - like Pompeo Senate Confirmation hearing - the candidate is hammered for "having negative thoughts" that LGBT agenda and relationships are not the best.
The idea being that Pompeo should not have employment as CIA director if he "has those thoughts" or does not "shut down the thoughts of others" who dare to express their thoughts.

From: California Introduces 'Dangerous Bill' That Would Make It Illegal for Christians to Counsel LGBTQ Adults
California LGBTQ activists have introduced a bill that would make it illegal for Christians to provide biblically based counseling for those wanting to get help for unwanted same-sex attractions.
Assemblyman Evan Low's bill, AB 2943, states that "advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual" is illegal under state's consumer fraud law.
This comes six years after the state deemed it illegal for minors to receive counseling for same-sex attraction, even if they and their parents wanted help.
========================
So now back to the opening comment - the fact that SDAs predict that in the future religious intolerance would arise over the subject of the 4th commandment - is a "thought" such that 'if you think it' -- then you must be banned.... is present in reality on some Christian forums today... (But not on this one and not on all of them... still there are a few out there even today).
