So, we agree that Rev 1:10 does not refer to "the Day of the Lord".
Of course, it is true that Rev 1:7 is connected to the coming of Jesus, The
Danielic Son of Man and "the Day of the Lord", but there is no connection
between verse 7 and 10. A new section starts with verse 9, and I see no
reference to the Danielic Son of Man in 10b.
