What is “the day of the Lord" / “the "\Day of YHWH" Is it Sunday?
Is it when YHWH's wrath is poured out upon the earth and it's inhabitants?
Or is it something else completely?
The term “the day of the Lord" / “the Day of YHWH" is used among believers to mean different things, but what is it really?

According to the Englishman’s Hebrew Concordance there are over 58 different ways "yom" has been translated in the King James Bible
"Yom" can refer to a variety of time periods ranging from “forever” (Ps 23:6), “age” (Gen 18:11), “years” (I Kings 1:1), “always” (Deut 5:29), & “season” (Jos 24:7)
From the context of Gen 1 & 2, there are 3 different ways Moses used this word. The word "yom" refers to day as in “daylight” (12 hours) in Gen 1:5, to 24-hour days in Gen 1:14, & to a long period of time (“in the day” referring to all six of the preceding creation days) in Gen 2:4
In the case of this post. I believe the meaning of the much anticipated Day of Lord is found here:
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Psalm 90:1 (A Prayer of Moses the man of God.) Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
