Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

John was instructed by Lord Jesus to write the seven letters to the seven churches.Immediately after the seven letters,he was caught up to heaven.

Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

I have done some research as in what day Lord Jesus appeared to him,and commanded him to write the seven letters.

The word the Lord's day in verse 10 is Greek word kuriakos.

kuriakos: of the Lord
Original Word: κυριακός, ή, όν
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: kuriakos
Phonetic Spelling: (koo-ree-ak-os')
Short Definition: of the Lord
Definition: of the Lord, special to the Lord.

And it has only one other occurrence in 1 Corinthians 11:20 which is referred to the Lord's supper.

The Lord's supper took place on the eve of passover.And it has been remembered since.

Was apostle John caught up to heaven on passover,the day was referred by him as the Lord's day?

And does this event has any implication to when the church will be caught up too?

Any thought?

All I can say is I certainly hope so - and that it is this Passover! It is an interesting theory, 2nd coming.

All of our rationale aside, the sooner the better. Once again, I believe that the church being a unique entity, the rapture does not necessarily have to happen on a Jewish feast day or holiday. We are the BRIDE of Christ. We live in the age of GRACE, not the law. We are uniquely Christ's! I just don't understand why so many people can't grasp the reality and the gravity of this. We are not Israel!

Good Study! 2nd coming!

We believe! We are in (The Season) For Imminent Rapture...

All sign's world-wide are Increasing! (As JESUS Said...)

father God! Is in Total Control...

He Will Bring It All Together! His Perfect Timing!

Lest you be self-opinionated (wise in your own conceits), I do not want you to miss this hidden truth and mystery, brethren: a hardening (insensibility) has [temporarily] befallen a part of Israel [to last] until the [c]full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles has come in, Romans 11:25

1 Thessalonians 5:3-4

3When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape.

4But you are not in [given up to the power of] darkness, brethren, for that day to overtake you by surprise like a thief.

(We are day to day...moment to moment...)

You made a good connection - Yes - OT Passover Blood on The Door - NT JESUS Our Passover (His Blood) Were Covered!

Rev. 4:1-2 John is (Caught Up) To Heaven! Amen! Saved By Grace Through Faith!

Then We Come Back With JESUS In Revelation Ch. 19

TxThom,

If we take the Lord's day in Revelation 1:10 as an ordinary and a regular communion day,then we have a problem here.

Apostle John was all alone in Patmos island,who were he communion with?He was separated from other disciples.

Where could he get the bread,and wine so that the communion could take place,when he was under the watch of the prison guards?

When John wrote "I was in spirit in the Lord's day",that day meant very special to him as supported by the Greek word "kuriakos" which only has one other occurrence in 1 Corinthians 11:20,and is refereed to the Lord's supper.

The Lord's day belongs to the Lord,pertains to the Lord,and is very special to the Lord.And it is not any ordinary or regular day that can be substituted.

Good points 2nd coming. An additional one is if he wanted to let it be known which day it occurred on (and if he did not, why did he mention which day?) then saying on Sunday, or on Communion day really doesn't convey much information. Indicating it was on Passover is much more informative. Even if I have to wait another week.

How clear are we that Daniel's 69th week ended at Yeshua's entrance into Jerusalem on donkey-colt back vs. when He was cut off on the cross?

The Lord's day belongs to the Lord,pertains to the Lord,and is very special to the Lord.
Out of Jesus's 3 years ministry,the most most important day is the day he gave up his life for us,and was crucified on the cross for us so that whoever believes in him can have an everlasting life with him and our heavenly Father.
And that day only belongs to him,and none can take away that day from him,or replace it.
Having said that,and having identified the Lord's day in Revelation 1:10 as the day of passover,isn't it also true that the Great Day of the Lord also points to the same day,that is,the Lord's day,the day he was crucified,and died for us?
After all,he owns that day,and none can take away that day from him.

The Great Day of the LORD.Is it the day our Jesus turns the water into wine?Or is it the day he talks to the Samaria woman,or Nicodemus?
I think none of them can represent the Great Day of the LORD except the day of his crucifixion.It is because that day is for all of us to observe.If any who observe that day and believe in his crucifixion,then they shall be spared at the second coming and his wrath shall not be upon them.
But for those who ignore that day,or even scoff on it,then the vengeance from our Lord shall quickly come upon them,on the day which is known as the Great Day of the LORD.

I do believe Jesus was crucified on Friday,and rose on Sunday morning because bible says so.
Your three days and three nights flaw comes from Herbert Armstrong's teaching who is against Sunday resurrection.
I did do a research and found this false teaching came from Worldwide church of God and Herbert Armstrong.
The Jew's terminology of day and night is quite different from modern day terminology.Modern day terminology will interpret it 72 hours or,three days,three nights while the Jews back then see a partial day as one day,one night.
Jesus has said many times that he should rise on the third day.Friday being the first day.Saturday being the second day.And Sunday is the third day.
Using your chart,that will make Jesus as a liar.Wednesday is the first day.Thursday is the second day.Friday is the third day,and Jesus rose on Saturday,the fourth day.
We need to study the ancient Jewish terminology of what a day and night means,instead of forcing the modern term into the scripture.
There are more from scripture to support a partial day also be seen as a whole day which is one day and one night,from old testament and new testament.
Worldwide church of God and Herbert Armstrong's view is false,and should be refuted.

http://bible.cc/matthew/12-40.htm
All the commentaries listed here agree with 2nd comings understanding, HWA not included.

On the Jesus being crucified and buried on Friday subtopic. How do you reconcile Luke 23:56, Mark 16:1, Matthew 28:1 and John 20:1 ?

Luke 23:56 states the women prepared the spices and rested for the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Mark 16:1 says the women bought the spices after the Sabbath.

Matthew 28:1 and John 20:1 both state the women went to the tomb before day break on the first day, Sunday.

How could they buy the spices after the Sabbath then prepare them and then rest for the Sabbath if both the Passover Sabbath and the regular Sabbath were on the same day? And since the women went to the tomb before day break they couldn't have bought and prepared them on Sunday.

Then there is Matthew 12:40 that clearly states 3 days and 3 nights not just 3 days.

I'm just honestly curious about this but it's not critical to me to pinpoint the exact day of the week He died. It's critical that he did and then rose again.

Here is a site an article that tries to pinpoint the length of Jesus' ministry and in doing so says he died in 33AD which places the Passover Sabbath on Friday.
http://www.gotquestions.org/length-Jesus-ministry.html

That really makes head hurt trying to reconcile those problems.

BTW sorry if this derails the topic too much but there are just so many wonderful rabbit trails to explore.

Regarding Luke 23:56,let's see what the scripture says.

Luke 23:50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just: 51(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. 52This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. 53And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. 54And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. 55And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

Jesus died at 3 P.M.,Nisan 15 Friday,the day of unleavened bread,a preparation day,a day before the sabbath.Joseph went to beg the body,and Jesus was buried before evening came.The women witnessed the burial,and purchased spices and ointment,and they rested that evening,and the day after,Nisan 16,Saturday,according to the commandment.

Two group of women went to purchase the spice.One on Nisan 15,the day of unleavened bread, Friday afternoon,before 6 P.M.,before the observance of sabbath began,after they witnessed the burial of Jesus.(Luke 23:50-56).And they rested on that evening,and the next day which is Nisan 16,Saturday.

The other group went to purchase the spice,after they rested on the sabbath,which was from Nisan 15,Friday evening to Nisan 16 Saturday evening.(Mark 16:1).Their name were mentioned.They are Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome.They purchased the spice on Nisan 16,Saturday,late evening,after the sabbath was over.They rested that night,and they went to see the tomb the next day,Nisan 17 Sunday morning.(Mark 16:2)
