How many times does the phrase 'the angel of the Lord' appear in the Bible?

Answer 1

As translated in most English language Bibles; one time, in Revelation 1:10:

"I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day..." (Rev.1:10 KJV).

Most other prophecies throughout The Bible, Old and New Testament, refer to it as "the Day of the Lord"... the Day of God's Wrath poured out on the earth; the Day when Christ returns to establish His Kingdom on earth.

Weymouth's New Testament [WEY], translates Revelation 1:10 this way:

"In the Spirit I found myself present on the Day of the Lord...".

In other words... John was transported "in a vision" or "dream" [see Num.12:6 & Job 33:15-16] into the future, to the time of the end of God's plan, to witness and record the global events that shall precede Jesus' return [which John describes in the 19th chapter of Revelation's 22 chapters.

"John Faithfully reported the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ - everything he saw." (Rev.1:2 NLTNew Living Translation)

Nowhere else in the Bible is "the Lord's Day" found translated in this manner. Some assume that it refers to a particular "day of the week"... but this is not in keeping with the more than thirty prophecies throughout the Bible regarding the Day of the Lord, when God finally removes man's errant rule over the earth FROM the earth and establishes His Kingdom in its place -- which is the conclusion of John's vision of "the Lord's Day" that he recorded:

"...The whole world has now become the Kingdom of our LORD and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever." (Rev.11:15 NLT)

This is the message of the Bible... the Good News [gospel] of God. The Good News of God's Kingdom coming to rule the earth:

"Jesus went into Galilee to preach God's Good News. 'At last the time has come!' He announced. 'The Kingdom of God is near! Turn from your sins and believe this Good News!'" (Mark 1:14-15 NLT)

It's in the events on the "Lord's Day" that John sees in his Holy Spirit-inspired "vision" that ushers in that Kingdom.

Jesus is the LORD. The DAY that He returns to establish His Kingdom on earth will be HIS DAY. And Revelation 1:10 is the only place in the Bible that refers to the Day of the Lord as "the Lord's Day."
