In Revelation 1:10 John says, "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day." Since everyone knows that Sunday is called the Lord's day this obviously means that John's revelation came to him on Sunday. Or does it? There are several references to Sunday in the New Testament but in every other place it is simply called the first day of the week. On the other hand there are many references to a time called the Day of the Lord. Day of the Lord and Lord's Day have exactly the same meaning expressed in slightly different ways. It seems to me that when John spoke of the Lord's day he was simply saying that the had a vision which gave him a detailed description of what the Day of the Lord would be like. It wasn't until later that people adopted the practice of calling Sunday the Lord's day. I would be interested in hearing what other people think about this. |

It's called The Lord's Day" in celebration of His resurrection, on the first day of the week, which we celebrate every Sunday. The Sabbath is still Saturday. |
