The Day of Trumpets is unique from the other Holy Days of God, as it signals events that we would generally consider aside from the character of God. It is the day when God through the return of Jesus Christ, makes war with those that oppose Him as God's wrath is displayed in the planned and purposeful destruction of His enemies. This can cause us to think of this day as a tough pill to swallow, but the glorious Day of Trumpets is filled with tremendous hope for God's people and triggers great victory for all God's creation!
