The phrase, the Lord’s day, found in Revelation chapter one, occurs only once in the New Testament. What grounds do we have to determine what day John was speaking about (the day his readers would have understood him to mean)?
The ways it seems to generally be understood are as follows:
- Christians generally believe John refers to Sunday, the first day of the week.
- Christian Sabbath observers such as Seventh Day Baptists and Messianic Christians believe John refers to the Sabbath of the LORD (7th day).
- The Church of God believes John refers to the day of the LORD, a day of judgement.
What concrete textual evidence do we have to indicate what this day is or is not?
I am looking for traceable, logical steps, leading to a logical conclusion.
