Yom Teruah makes a lot of sense for being the start of the Tribulation. Here is a snippet from a good article on the subject: THE FIRST FALL FEAST: THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS The Feast of Trumpets breaks a four-month hiatus after the Spring Feasts. The first thing to understand about the Feast of Trumpets is that… there just isn’t much in the Hebrew Scriptures to understand. Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord.’ ” (Lev 23:23-24) That’s it! It’s a holiday for resting and making a joyful noise! And yes, they do blow trumpets… One hundred blasts are blown. The last long blast at the Feast is called “the last trumpet.” While it seems simple on the surface, there are several intriguing and somewhat mysterious aspects to this Feast. First, an interesting thing about the language. The traditional Hebrew name for the feast is Yom Teruah, which I’ve always seen translated as Feast of Trumpets. But the word “trumpets” isn’t actually in the text. The word תְּרוּעָה (terû‘āh) means a sudden clamor. תְּרוּעָה terû‘āh: A feminine noun indicating a shout of joy; a shout of alarm, a battle cry. It… often indicates a shout of joy or victory (1 Sam. 4:5, 6); a great shout anticipating a coming event (Josh. 6:5, 20). It can refer to the noise or signal put out by an instrument (Lev. 23:24; 25:9). Amos used the word to refer to war cries (Amos 1:14; 2:2; cf. Job 39:25; Zeph. 1:16). The Lord puts shouts of joy into His people (Job 8:21; 33:26). http://www.lthompsonbooks.com/blog/trumpets-sleeping-scoffing/ Hi Melissa! You did fine. Welcome to your extended family!
