DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                          Chapter 1 – The Opening Vision
                   distinguished  above  the  other  days  of  the


               week as the Lord’s day. How completely does


               this great fact disprove the claim put forth by


               some  that  there  is  no  Sabbath  in  this


               dispensation, but that all days are alike. And


               by  calling  it  the  Lord’s  day,  the  apostle  has



               given  us,  near  the  close  of  the  first  century,


               apostolic  sanction  for  the  observance  of  the


               only day which can be called the Lord’s day,


               which  is  the  seventh  day  of  the  week.  (See


               note at close of chapter.)



               VERSE 11. Saying, 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.
