DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Revelation~

Chapter 1 – The Opening Vision
other inspired writers who speak of the first

day at all, are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Paul;

and they speak of it simply as “the first day of

the week.” They never speak of it in a manner

to distinguish it above any other of the six

working days. And this is the more

remarkable, viewed from the popular

standpoint, as three of them speak of it at the

very time when it is said to have become the

Lord’s day by the resurrection of the Lord

upon it, and two of them mention it some

thirty years after that event.

If it is said that the term “Lord’s day” was the

usual term for the first day of the week in

John’s day, we ask, Where is the proof of this?

It cannot be found. But we have proof of just

the contrary. (See History of the Sabbath, by J.
