rwp@Revelation:1:10 @{I was in the Spirit} (\egenomn en pneumati\). Rather, "I came to be (as in strkjv@1:9|) in the Spirit," came into an ecstatic condition as in strkjv@Acts:10:10f.; strkjv@22:17|, not the normal spiritual condition (\einai en pneumati\, strkjv@Romans:8:9|). {On the Lord's Day} (\en ti kuriaki hmeri\). Deissmann has proven (_Bible Studies_, p. 217f.; _Light_, etc., p. 357ff.) from inscriptions and papyri that the word \kuriakos\ was in common use for the sense "imperial" as imperial finance and imperial treasury and from papyri and ostraca that \hmera Sebast\ (Augustus Day) was the first day of each month, Emperor's Day on which money payments were made (cf. strkjv@1Corinthians:16:1f.|). It was easy, therefore, for the Christians to take this term, already in use, and apply it to the first day of the week in honour of the Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection on that day (_Didache_ 14, Ignatius _Magn_. 9). In the N.T. the word occurs only here and strkjv@1Corinthians:11:20| (\kuriakon deipnon the Lord's Supper\). It has no reference to \hmera kuriou\ (the day of judgment, strkjv@2Peter:3:10|). {Behind me} (\opis mou\). "The unexpected, overpowering entrance of the divine voice" (Vincent). Cf. strkjv@Ezekiel:3:12|. {Voice} (\phnn\). Of Christ, as is plain in verses 12f|. {As of a trumpet} (\hs salpiggos\). Songs:in strkjv@4:1| referring to this. {Saying} (\legouss\). Present active participle genitive case agreeing with \salpiggos\ rather than \legousan\, accusative agreeing with \phnn\. Songs:on purpose, as is clear from strkjv@4:1|, where \lalouss\ also agrees with \salpiggos\.
