And then you have a special supper, the Lord's Supper, the Domenical Supper.

And obviously, the Lord's Supper is something very special set apart.

And that's exactly what we find then, I think, in Revelation 1 verse 10.

The Lord's Day, there are ordinary days, there are many days, there are lots of days, but there's a special day.

that in a special way belongs to the Lord, just as the Lord's Supper in a special way belongs to the Lord.

And you see, the problem, I hope, for the people who deny any special day in the New Covenant, if there is no special day in the New Covenant, how can there be a Lord's Day?

If all days are alike, no one day can be a Lord's Day.

Now even putting aside the question, what is the Lord's Day?

If there's a Lord's Day at all, and Revelation 1 verse 10 says clearly there is a Lord's Day, then all days cannot be alike in the new covenant.

It really seems to me that's ruled out in principle by Revelation 1 verse 10.

Now you may quote me and say, I said you shouldn't rest everything on one verse.

Well, I'm not going to rest it on one verse, but this is very significant, very important, I think, in our reflection.

I've tried to offer an exegesis of the passages that are purported to teach that all days are alike to show that's not what they teach.

Well, on the other hand, how are they going to explain away this verse that says there's a Lord's Day in the new covenant?

So that's the first point I would like to make relative to this point, that the New Testament does teach a special day.

Well, what day could it be?

Well, the Seventh-day Adventist scholar that I read says, well, it's Saturday.

Well, in an abstract world, that's possible, but it seems to me that runs into trouble with Colossians 2, verse 16, as I just argued.

Some scholars have said, well, it's Easter.

Well, I suppose that's possible.
