The day of the Lord causes humility:
For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isa.2:12
It causes destruction,
Howl ye; for the day ofthe LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Isa.13:6 KJV
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. Isa.13:9 KJV
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. Isa.13:10 KJV
In Acts 2, Peter quotes Joel using imagery that is amost identical, but Peter tells his listeners they are seeing it fulfilled.
I believe Peter is speaking of how mankind couldn't see the natural light of God through Jesus.
Also the the moon darkened, turned to blood is God's people suffering persecution.
So "the day of the Lord" iis related to our Kings' ministry, victory over death and the result of it,
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psa.118:24 KJV
