The Lord's Day, also known as the Day of the Lord, is a biblical concept that refers to a future time of divine judgment and redemption, as seen in Isaiah 2:12 and Isaiah 13:6. In the New Testament, the Lord's Day is also associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as mentioned in Revelation 1:10, where the Apostle John is said to have been "in the Spirit on the Lord's Day" when he received his apocalyptic vision. According to 1 Corinthians 16:2, the early Christian church observed the first day of the week, Sunday, as the Lord's Day, in commemoration of Jesus' resurrection, which is further emphasized in Psalms 118:24, where it is written, "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." This observance has become a cornerstone of Christian worship and practice, signifying the triumph of Jesus over death and sin.
