Or at least *became* a well established expression. 1 Cor 11:20 is earlier
then Revelation in any case, however.

Not at all? Rev 1:7 does refer to this day. In my thesis I have called
attention to a number of aspects that do relate to this day, e.g., the fact
that there is a close relationship between Rev 1:7 and the presentation of
Christ as the Danielic Son of Man in 1:10b.

For the record, I do not argue that "the Day of the Lord" in Rev 1:10 refers
to this day (as mentioned earlier).
