Joel’s prophecy

 Joel 2:28 It shall be after this that I shall pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

Joel 2:29 Even on the male servants and on female servants I shall pour out My Ruach/Spirit Joel 2:30 I shall display wonders/mupath H4159 in the heavens and on the earth, blood/dam H1818, fire/ash H784 and pillar/thamarah H8490 of smoke/ashan H6227.

Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of Yahuah comes.

Joel 2:32 And it shall be, that all who shall call on the name of Yahuah shall be delivered; for on Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalam there shall be those who escape, as Yahuah has said, even among the survivors whom Yahuah calls

There are few words I want the reader to look at closely in Joel 2:30 wonders, blood, fire and pillar of smoke. Below is the Paleo Hebrew word picture of the word 'mupath' which shows the 'piercing, death and separation of the piece

' Mupath: miracle/sign/wonder

Mupath has the root words 'path' which means perforate/hole/piece and 'muth' which means 'death' Yahuah says he will show 'mupath/wonders' in the heavens/hashamayam and on earth/arets...immediately the carnal mind would look to the literal heavens for the wonder/sign/miracle just as when Yahusha told the Yahudites that the reign of the hashamayam/heavens doesn't come by observation for it is in the midst of you.

Luk 17:20 And having been asked by the Pharisees when the reign of Elohim would come, He answered them and said, “The reign of Elohim does not come with intent watching,

Luk 17:21 nor shall they say, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ For look, the reign of Elohim is in your midst!”

Luk 17:22 And He said to the taught ones, “Days shall come when you shall long to see one of the days of the Son of Aḏam, but you shall not see it.

Luk 17:23 “And they shall say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them, nor follow.

Hence the 'mupath/wonder' of blood, fire, pillar of smoke is related to the 'karath/cut out' covenant that Yahuah makes through the sacrifice.

Gen 15:9 And He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, and a three-year-old female goat, and a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

Gen 15:10 And he took all these to Him and cut them in the middle, and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not cut the birds.

Gen 15:11 And the birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Aḇram drove them away.

Gen 15:12 And it came to be, when the sun was going down, and a deep sleep fell upon Aḇram, that see, a frightening great darkness fell upon him.

Gen 15:13 And He said to Aḇram, “Know for certain that your seed are to be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four hundred years.

Gen 15:14 “But the nation whom they serve I am going to judge, and afterward let them come out with great possessions.

Gen 15:15 “Now as for you, you are to go to your fathers in peace, you are to be buried at a good old age.

Gen 15:16 “Then, in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the crookedness of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

Gen 15:17 And it came to be, when the sun went down and it was dark, that see, a smoking/ashan H6227 oven/tannur H8574 and a burning/ash H784 torch/lapad H3940 passing/abar between those pieces.

If you notice Joel's prophecy says 'tamara ashan' translated as 'column/pillar of smoke' and Masha/Moses in Genesis 15:17 records 'tannur ashan' translated as 'oven of smoke', also Joel's prophecy only records 'fire/ash' and Masha records 'burning/ash torch/lapad or lapyad'. Let's look at these words closely:

'Tamarah': from 'Tamar' which means 'upright' just like a 'palm tree H8560 ' (the same word 'tamar' means 'palm tree'

'Tannur': fire pot, furnace, oven

When we read Yahual's prophecy where he uses the words dam/blood, ash/fire & 'tamarah ashan' translated as 'column/pillar of smoke' we spiritually see a picture of the sacrifice on the altar from where the blood flows and the sacrifice is offered as a burnt offering and from the burnt offering the smoke ascends to the heavens/hashamayam as a pillar/colum upright and we who are made whole from the bitterness of sin ascend/malah through the sacrifice. Yahual/Joel is showing the accomplishment of the covenant while Masha is showing the initiation and cutting out/karuth of the covenant. Hence 'Tannur ashan' shows us the 'smoke from the covenant light/lamp' passing through the pieces along with the fiery/ash torch/lapad to consume it.

Lapad/Lapyad:

Hebrew Root words : 'Lad' means 'bear as in child' and we get the English word 'lad' for a small boy from here. 'Pad/padah' means ransom/redeem/deliver and 'yad' is the hand. The picture is of the child being ransomed by the hand from the fire just as Yitshaq was saved from the fire and a ram caught by its horns was caught in the bushes and Abraham named the place 'Yahuah yarah' which means ' Yahuah will be seen'. 'Lapyad' shows 'The fiery ransom'.

In Gen 15 we see the elements of sacrifice heifer, goat, ram, turtle dove and pigeon divided into two pieces by shedding of blood, except for the bird and Yahuah initiating the covenant by passing the the covenant light/lamp and smoke coming out of it and the fiery ransom. Yahual lists blood, fire, pillar of smoke ascending upwards to the hashamayam/heaven. Now while we see the spirit/ruach in the letter, the letter itself kills as the blood of heifer, goat, ram, turtle dove and pigeon never could take away sins.

Heb 10:3 But in those offerings is a reminder of sins year by year.

Heb 10:4 For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

Heb 10:5 Therefore, coming into the world, He says, “Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me.

Heb 10:6 “In burnt offerings and offerings for sin You did not delight.

Heb 10:7 “Then I said, ‘See, I come – in the roll of the book it has been written concerning Me – to do Your desire, O Elohim.’ ”

Heb 10:8 Saying above, “Slaughter and meal offering, and burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor delighted in,” which are offered according to the Torah,

Heb 10:9 then He said, “See, I come to do Your desire, O Elohim.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

Heb 10:10 By that desire we have been set apart through the offering of the body of יהושע Messiah once for all.

The elements of the physical pointed to the spiritual and hence those ending up in the flesh by eating lamb on Pesach, those occupied in the physical elements of Torah will have to face the wrath of Aluahym. While Yahual's/Joel's prophecy shows blood, fire, pillar of smoke, the prophecy also shows the division of the ruach sacrifice of Mashiyach in the physical sacrifices which was accomplished just as in the same way in Abraham's account in Gen 15 shows us that the covenant is cut out/karath from the physical ('tannur ashan and ash lapad'). Yahuah shows us in the dabar of the smoke of the affliction ascending of those occupied in the fleshly.

Rev 14:11 And the smoke/ashan of their affliction goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the living creature/chayah and his image/tsalamah, and whoever receives the mark of his name.

The word 'tsalam' which means image also means 'shadow' as in 'shadow of the original'. The picture is of those occupied in the physical elements of Torah after the Ruach essence of it has been fully accomplished by Yahusha ha Mashiyach, their affliction arises as a smoke going up forever and ever not having the rest.

Rev 9:2 And he opened the deep well, and smoke went up out of the well, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the well.

Rev 9:3 And out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of the Elohim on their foreheads.

The messenger opened the 'tahum/deep baar/well' and there came smoke which obscured the sun and the air, and out of this smoke came the arbah/locusts afflicting those not sealed with the seal of Aluahym.

The arbah H697 locusts also mean ambush/lie in wait H693/H695/H696.

Rev 20:3 and he threw him/shatan into the deep/tahum, and shut him up and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

Shatan was the one lying in wait for the right opportunity to get people into the flesh, if you notice he was cast into the 'tahum' translated as 'deep' for a thousand years. The thousand years is a 'fullness of time' as numbers 10,100 & 1000 in scriptures shows 'fullness/completeness'

Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of the time came, the Elohim sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the Torah,

Shatan first tried to kill Mashiyach when he was born, when he failed he tried to tempt him to sin, when he failed he got the Yahudites to hate him and impale him on the stake, when he realized this was the plan and purpose of Aluahym as it was prophesied he in wrath drew to the woman Yerushalayim but Yahuah in his wisdom separated the Ruach Yerushalayim from the carnal Yerushalayim. While the Ruach Yerushalayim sees the accomplishment by her Redeemer Yahusha ha Mashiyach the carnal Yerushalayim as Hagar sits with her children in the bondage of the physical elements. That is the picture we see here.

Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory, for these women are two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which genders to slavery; she is Hagar.

Gal 4:25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Yerushalam, for she is in slavery with her children. Gal 4:26 But the Yerushalam above is free; she is the mother of us all.

Shaul had to write the epistle to the Galatian assembly as many of them having begun in the Ruach were going back to the flesh, this is exactly what we see even today. Many professing Yahuah are hallowing the physical elements of written Torah like lamb sacrificing on Pesach, removing literal leaven from houses during Unleavened bread and only eating physical unleavened bread, wearing tsitsits, outer robes as priests, using relics with Torah portions engraved, putting up booths during Sukkot etc whereas this all has already been accomplished in fullness by our Savior. That's why we see Yahual/Joel saying blood, fire, columns of smoke showing both the physical and the spiritual in it, and the very next verse says

Joel 2:30 I shall display wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, fire and columns of smoke. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of Yahuah comes.

The smoke ascending up causes the sun to turn into blackness and the moon into blood, Did you know that moon looks blood if there is thick smoke out of a fire in the atmosphere? The pillar of smoke rising up is of the elect in Mashiyach as well as the affliction of the people not having the seal of Yahuah, all rising from the sacrifice....the bulls/goats/heifer sacrifice (physical) vs the one sacrifice of Mashiyach which is the upright smoke ascending into heaven as a sweet fragrance.

If you are able to see this WONDER/MUPATH of the blood, fire and pillar of smoke ascending we are at the very close of the end as Yahuah is showing us what is befalling as signs he spoke about right before our eyes 'before the great and awesome day of Yahuah'.
