Revelation 1:10 refers to the “Lord’s Day” which is Sunday, the day Christ rose. First century Christians celebrated on Sunday, the Lord’s Day.
First century Christians celebrated on Sunday, the Lord’s Day.
Link to chapter and verse, IF you can. The "Lord Day" is the "Great and TERRIBLE Day" of the Lord.
Those worshiping on Sunday, HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST in their hand (what they do), in their head (what they think, and in their heart (what they love).
My friend has detailed the proof as follows:
Notice what Dr. Bullinger says in his Appendix concerning the events surrounding the crucifixion:“That Sabbath and the high day of John 19:31, was the ‘holy convocation,’ the first day of the feast, which quite overshadowed the ordinary weekly Sabbath …
this great Sabbath, having been mistaken from the earliest times for the weekly Sabbath, has led to all the confusion …
We have therefore the following facts furnished for our sure guidance:
“1. The ‘high day’ of John 19:31 was the first day of the feast.
“2. The ‘first day of the feast’ was on the 15th day of Nisan.
“3. The 15th day of Nisan commenced at sunset on what we should call the 14th.
“4. ‘Six days before the Passover’ [John 12:1] takes us back to the 9th day of Nisan.
“5. After two days is the Passover’ [Matt. 26:2; Mark 14:1] takes us to the 13th day of Nisan.
“6. ‘The first day of the week,’ was the day of the resurrection [Matt. 28:1, &c.], was from our Saturday sunset to our Sunday sunset.
This fixes the days of the week, just as the above fix the days of the month, for,
“7. Reckoning back from this, ‘three days and three nights’ [Matt. 12:40], we arrive at the day of the burial, which must have been before sunset, on the 14th of Nisan; i.e. before our Wednesday sunset.
“Therefore Wednesday, Nisan 14th [commencing on the Tuesday at sunset], was ‘the preparation day’, on which the crucifixion took place:
for all four Gospels definitely say that this was the day on which the Lord was buried [before our Wednesday sunset], because it was the preparation [day] that the bodies should not remain on the cross [Greek: Stauro, meaning an upright pale] on the Sabbath day, ‘for that Sabbath day was a high day,’ and, therefore, not the ordinary seventh day, or weekly Sabbath. See John 19:31” (The Companion Bible, Bullinger, Appendix 156, p. 180).
It is because people have blindly assumed that the “preparation day” was a Friday that they thought Christ was not buried until late on a Friday, and thus remained in the tomb only two nights and one daylight period!
Did Jesus Christ Fulfill His Sign?
Unless Jesus Christ was EXACTLY the length of time in the tomb He said he would be, you have no Savior!Jesus staked His Messiahship on being exactly three days and three nights in the tomb!
For centuries, because fallible men, many of whom were bitten with antisemitism, and who desperately wanted to rid the apostate church of all things “Jewish,” claimed they were worshiping on SUNDAY in “honor of the resurrection!”
But Christ DID NOT RISE ON SUNDAY!
The angels told the two Marys, “He is NOT HERE!”
They said “HE IS RISEN!” They did not use the present tense that He was just then “rising,” but the past tense, saying He had already risen!
There is simply no question about the days of the month, the days of the week, or the hours of those days in which these MOST IMPORTANT events occurred!
Paul wrote,“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
“By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
“And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
“And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
“After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
“After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
“And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time” (1 Corinthians 15:1-8).
Paul said “…according to the scriptures.”
Paul MAY have known about the earliest gospels, but remember, the only “scriptures” extant during Paul’s day were those of the “Old Testament.”
Paul had to be including Christ’s reference to Jonah, and the fact that he was exactly “three days and three nights” in the belly of the great fish, as well as referring to Christ’s statements which were faithfully recorded by the apostles.
The apostles believed because they saw the living proof, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, now GLORIFIED; able to appear and disappear at will; able to materialize within a room enclosed by stone walls!
They were so CONVICTED by the proofs they saw that many of them were martyred for their faith! Men do not go willingly to their deaths by crucifixion, burning, or beheading because they believe in a hoax!
Now, notice one final proof !
Only the Fenton translation of the English from the Greek takes note of the fact that the word for “Sabbath” in Matthew 28:1 is in the plural!
In a footnote to this text in his translation, he says, “The Greek original is in the plural; Sabbaths!”
Of course! There were TWO Sabbaths that week; the annual HIGH day Sabbath, the FEAST, which fell on Thursday, and the regular weekly Sabbath, which fell on the day we call “Saturday.”
Yes, believe it or not, the plain truth is the resurrection was NOT on Sunday !
Jesus Christ commanded His disciples, and He commands US, today, to observe the symbols of His DEATH each year (1 Corinthians 11:23-30) at the “Lord’s Supper.”
He told His disciples, “HAPPY are ye if ye DO THESE THINGS.”
The resurrection
was NOT on Sunday, and
neither is "The LORD''s Day".
