What is meant by the "Lord's day" at Revelation 1:10 ?

Answer 1

A definite period of time during which the Lord Jesus Christ brings certain things in connection with God’s purpose to a successful conclusion.

In Biblical usage the word “day” may denote a period of time far longer than 24 hours. (Ge 2:4; Joh 8:56; 2Pe 3:8) Contextual evidence indicates that “the Lord’s day” of Revelation 1:10 is not a particular 24-hour day. Since it was “by inspiration” that John came to be “in the Lord’s day,” the reference could not be to some particular day of the week. It would not have been necessary for John to have been inspired to come to a specific day of the week. Therefore, “the Lord’s day” must be that future time during which events that John was privileged to see in vision would occur. This included such happenings as the war in heaven and the ouster of Satan, the destruction of Babylon the Great and the kings of the earth and their armies, the binding and abyssing of Satan, the resurrection of the dead, and Christ’s Thousand Year Reign.

The context points to Jesus Christ as the Lord whose “day” it is. Immediately after coming to be “in the Lord’s day,” John heard, not the voice of Almighty God, but that of the resurrected Son of God. (Re 1:10-18) Also, the ‘day of the Lord’ mentioned at 1 Corinthians 1:8; 5:5; and 2 Corinthians 1:14 is that of Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

The lord had projected johns mind into the future to the Lords day. When U continue to read in the bk of revelation it reveals exactly what will happen to the nations and how the lord will come to establish his kingdom on the earth.

Answer 3

We are living in the "Lord's day". The time when Revelation is seeing it's fulfillment. John said by "inspiration I came to be in the Lord's Day". Day in the bible can mean a period of time, like "in my day". Not a 24 hour day. We are living in the "Lord's day" or the "Last days" of this system of things.

Answer 4

Sunday, the day of the Lord's resurrection.

EDIT: Eric T is incorrect -- see Matthew 28:1 Now after the Sabbath [sundown Friday through sundown Saturday], as the first day of the week [SUNDAY] began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Answer 5

What it means is that we should pick one day to praise and up lift the lord for all he does for us,a thankful day so to speak. It doesn't have to be Sunday--it can be any day you pick.He also talks of a day of rest from work...That is not the same as the lords day,it is a totally different day but most people lump them together so they don't have to give you 2 days off a week. That was what the week end used to be for. Saturday was for rest--Sunday was for God..But man has decided in his greed that he wants all 7 days of the week...So now the rest of the story..

Answer 6

This is the first use of "the Lord's Day" in the New Testament. By A.D. 95, Christians were accustomed to meeting to read Scripture, teach, and pray on the first day of the week, which they called "the Lord's Day." This was their testimony, that their Lord rose from the dead on the first day of the week.

Answer 7

Please read verse seven.
(KJV) "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen"

Doesn't this remind you about what the Gospels foretold would happen at the end of this evil system of things? It would then stand to reason that "the Lord's day" would refer to Christ's second coming or his presence before the Great Tribulation.

If your read Matthew chapter 24, you'll see what I mean. His presence or coming was to be discernible by the wars and other terrors coming upon this system of things before the end and Armageddon's destruction of it.

Here is just one verse from Matthew, "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

Answer 8

Christian say that Sunday is the lords day but i think its bs. It doesn't say anything about the 1 DAY of the week being the Lords day.

Answer 9

It is a period of time starting with the enthronement of Jesus as king-appointed.
You know "thy kingdom come" ....well, someone's got to be in charge.
Jesus is.
Some say that time is now, since the start of the 20th century.
They say that because with his enthronement, a series of unpleasant events takes place on earth and a good case can be made that we're living in that time.
