The Lord’s Day (Sunday)

In the Bible, the “day of the Lord” refers to the end of time, the moment when God or Jesus passes judgement on all people. This expression is he hemera tou kyriou in Greek. Another Greek expression, he kyriake hemera is often translated in the same way. This last expression, from Revelation 1:10, does not refer to the end of time, but is probably used as a name for Sunday.
