When John wrote the book. However, the meaning isn’t clear.
It is used to refer to God’s judgment in the Hebrew Scriptures, but since the phrase is used as a temporal indicator in Revelation, that meaning doesn’t do it.
It might be the Sabbath (Friday night to Saturday), but we have no indication that Christians or Jews used this phrase for the Sabbath at that time.
This could be Sunday, although the phrase wasn’t used for Sunday until long after Revelation, although the Epistle of Barnabas indicates that Sunday (“the eighth day”) was a day for Christian celebration.
It just isn’t clear. So there.
