Study Note

John's statement 'I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet' provides the inaugural setting for the entire Apocalypse — prophetic inspiration ('in the Spirit') on the church's weekly resurrection celebration. The phrase 'the Lord's day' (tē kuriakē hēmera) appears here for the first time in extant Christian literature, indicating that by the late first century, Sunday had acquired a distinctive liturgical name distinguishing it from the Roman 'emperor's day' (also kuriakē). The voice 'as of a trumpet' echoes the Sinai theophany of Exodus 19:16 and 19:19, framing John's visionary experience within the tradition of Moses receiving the Torah on the mountain. The passage has shaped Christian theology of Sunday worship and the relationship between Sabbath and resurrection commemoration.
