John, the writer of Revelation, recounts an extraordinary spiritual encounter. On the Lord's Day, which many Christians understand as Sunday, he experiences a deep connection with the Holy Spirit. This day holds special significance as it commemorates Jesus' resurrection. In this state, John hears a voice behind him, described as loud and clear as a trumpet. The trumpet is a powerful symbol, often used in biblical texts to announce significant events or messages. This auditory experience signals the beginning of a series of divine revelations that John is to record. The voice's commanding presence underscores the importance of the message and prepares John for the prophetic visions that follow. This moment marks the start of John's journey into the apocalyptic visions that form the rest of the book, emphasizing the divine origin and authority of the revelations he is about to receive. The passage invites readers to consider the importance of being spiritually attuned to hear God's voice and to be open to the messages He may impart.
