Revelation 1:10
I was in the Spirit. Was lifted to that spiritual exaltation in
which revelations are given.
On the Lord's day. The day of the Lord's Resurrection, the first
day of the week. In the earlier apostolic writings the day was called
"the first day of the week" (Acts 20:7 1Co 16:2), but by the close of
the century it began to be called "the Lord's day", as here. Epistles
of Barnabas, Ignatius and Dionysius, written near this time, so style
it, and the name is of common occurrence from this time onward, and is
confined to Sunday. It is not confounded with the "Sabbath day" of many
centuries. See Dr. Wm. Smith's Unabridged Dictionary of the Bible,
article "Lord's Day".
Heard behind me a great voice. Heard but did not see the speaker.
