I do not know. In the translation you quote "the day" will come at the same
time as the "rebellion", whereas with "first" it can also come after the
rebellion and the man of lawlessness.

KAI can connect two facts that come subsequently. It can also connect a fact
with more details about it. So the answer to this question is not a matter
of the Greek text, but of connecting this text with other eschatological
texts.
