What Is the Lord's Day?

The expression occurs but once in all the Bible, but the passage in question does not reveal the day of the week. It reads as follows: "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day." Rev. 1:10. Now, according to God's Word, for this alone is authority upon this question, what day is the Lord's day? Three scriptures will answer this most conclusively:
"If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day." Isa. 58:13.
"The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Ex. 20:10.
"The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath." Mark 2:28.
These texts conclusively show that the Lord's holy day is the Sabbath, and that the Sabbath is the seventh day, and that the seventh-day Sabbath is the day of which Jesus Christ is Lord. Therefore, according to the Lord's Word, the Lord's day is the seventh-day Sabbath. Could we ask clearer evidence?
