DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith
~The Response of History to the Revelation~
Chapter 1 – The Opening Vision
Battle Creek, Mich.) If this was the universal
designation of the first day at the time the
Revelation was written, the same writer
would most assuredly call it so in all his
subsequent writings. But John wrote the
Gospel after he wrote the Revelation, and yet
in that Gospel he calls the first day of the week,
not Lord’s day, but simply “first day of the
week.” For proof that the Gospel was written
at a period subsequent to the Revelation, the
reader is referred to such standard authorities
as the Religious Encyclopedia, Barnes’s Notes
(Gospels), Bible Dictionaries, Cottage Bible,
Domestic Bible, Mine Explored, Union Bible
Dictionary, Comprehensive Bible, Paragraph
Bible, Bloomfield, Dr. Hales, Horne, Nevins,
and Olshausen.
