I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
I was deep in worship on Sunday when I heard this massive voice behind me that sounded like a trumpet blasting.

📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos for his faithful witness to Jesus Christ during a time of intense Roman persecution of Christians. While there, he experienced a profound spiritual vision on the Lord's day, which likely refers to Sunday, the day commemorating Jesus' resurrection, marking the start of the apocalyptic revelations he was given. This verse sets the stage for the entire book of Revelation, where John records messages from God to encourage and warn the early churches.
