Revelation 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet (Revelation 1:10).
In the Spirit – occurs 4 times in Revelation (1:10; 4:2; 17:3; 21:10) John was supernaturally transported out of the material world, while awake. The Holy Spirit empowered his senses to perceive revelation from God. Ezekiel (Ezekiel 2:2; 3:12, 14), Peter (Acts 10:11), and Paul (2 Corinthians 12:1) had similar experiences.
Loud voice as of a trumpet – indicates the solemnity of what is about to be revealed (Revelation 14:2, 15, 18; 16:1, 17; Exodus 19:16). Christ’s voice is unmatched in volume and power.
The Lord’s Day – (Te kuriake hemera, Greek – the day belonging to the Lord) appears only here in the New Testament, and is best understood as a reference to Sunday.
