ἐγενόμην ἐν πνεύματι ἐν τῇ κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ καὶ ἤκουσα ὀπίσω μου φωνὴν μεγάλην ὡς σάλπιγγος

I'm having some difficulty understanding what you consider the problem to be here.  Would you like 6 doughnuts or half a dozen?  My best guess is that you are referring to the LXX use of the phrase in Amos 5.18 and 20.  If so, it hardly seems credible that this could be the reference in Re 1.10 since Amos references the eschatological "Day of the Lord", i.e. according to Amos the day when God comes in judgement (Amos 5.20 οὐχὶ σκότος ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου καὶ οὐ φῶς; OUXI SKOTOS hH hHMERA TOU KURIOU KAI OU FWS?).  One other interpretation of EN THi KURIAKHi hHMERAi which I have encountered is that of Seventh Day Adventists that it references Easter.  I have no intention of discussing that since it is clearly beyond the list protocol though I will say that it makes more sense than to take it as the eschatological Day of the Lord.

Subject: [B-Greek] Rev 1:10

I am having a discussion with another person about the meaning of THi
KURIAKHi  hHMERAi  in Rev. 1:10.  He is taking that phrase as equivalent to
THi hHMERAi TOU KURIOU.  BAG says that the phrase refers to the Lord's Day,
that is the first day of the week.  My discussion partner say simply that
BAG has it wrong.  Does anyone know if THi KURIAKHi  hHMERAi  is used as the
equivalent of THi hHMERAi TOU KURIOU?  If BAG has it wrong, so do Alford and
Moffatt.
