THE PSALMS

Chapter 104

"THE KING IN HIS COMING POWER AND GLORY."

This Bible Study is is provided by http://www.theseason.org/ and shared with permission from it's author R. Christopherson

This is a Psalm of David, a praise to the King for He will come and fulfill all these things. This psalm will go into the depth about the subject of God's creation, of the elect and how God will use the elect through out all the ages. This will them both in the angelic sense and in the ruach or spiritual sense. However this is a review of the spirit of man, which is the intellect of his soul that is housed within his flesh body. Your spirit puts intelligence to your soul, just as your mind put a thinking process to your body, and allows for the control of the systems of your flesh body. The spirit of your soul can either take control over your mind and make the flesh subject to your soul; or it can become a servant to an evil spirit. God gave you the choice to choose for yourself where the control will come from. That is the reason that each of us have to go through this earth age, to determine whether we shall follow God, or Satan. There is free-will for many, and election for the others. That is what this Psalm 104 will go into. It is a look at God's overall plan for the ages of this earth, and concerning His coming to this earth.

Psalms 104:1 "Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty."

Here again, God is addressing the soul, and not the flesh body. God's great glory goes to make up His honor and majesty that is around Him at all times. Stop and think for a moment of the greatness of our heavenly Father, for He created this entire universe, and all that is within it. Then in His greatness He created us; all souls were created for the purpose of pleasing Him.

Psalms 104:2 "Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment: Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:"

God created the sun, moon and stars of the heavens to give us light, and stretched the pattern of stars across the heavens to cover us like a curtain. At night go out and look up into the heavens, and marvel at the beauty that is before you. God made you a child of the day, and He desires that you will never be in darkness in the spiritual sense. Father gave you His pattern for all times in and through His Word, and when you are a child of the light, you know what tomorrow will bring. Men with all their divining sources likes to play with guessing games with the future; but God through His Word, keep those that study His Word in the light, informing us as to what the future of His plan is. The events of this earth age will happen as it is written. It always has and it always will, as there is nothing new under the sun.

Psalms 104:3 "Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters: Who maketh the clouds His chariot: Who walketh upon the wings of the wind:"

"The wind", in the Hebrew text is the "Ruach", the "Spirit". His wings are the Holy Spirit Itself. Ezekiel 1 addressed what the "chariot" of God looked like; The color of Amber that is spoken of in verse 4, is a highly polished bronze, a glowing metal appearance. Ezekiel described the landing gear, and the portholes with occupants inside the vehicle. God landed His very throne in the presence of Ezekiel. Though the English translation is very sketchy, the Hebrew manuscripts give much more detail. Sometimes the sitting was even in a cloud. There are no UFO's [unidentified flying objects] to God, it is only man that hangs that tag on things unknown to him. Sure there are false reports, but our Father's Word is very specific in detail about these objects.

So what is this verse talking about? God created the universe and He placed all the objects in their position, and God is free to travel anywhere in the universe that He chooses to travel.

Psalms 104:4 "Who maketh His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire:"

"Spirits" as given here is "ruach", "the wind", and his "ministers" or servants "a flaming fire". Fire to flesh man gives a lot of heat that can harm you, but our Heavenly Father is a consuming fire that will burn the enemy, but yet at the same time gives only comfort to those that love Him. That fire is the Holy Spirit and He can warm your heart and give comfort to you in times of need. God and His presence is a destructive force to Satan and those that are God's enemies.

Psalms 104:5 "Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be removed for ever."

Our planet earth was put here on its axis by our Heavenly Father, and Proverbs 8 tells us how wisdom was with our Father before He laid those foundation of this earth. When God created this earth, He created it to last for ever. And in time even Heaven shall be brought down to this earth where it shall be for the eternity. This earth has been here for millions of years, and there is no end to its existence. After the thousand year period of Christ's kingdom on this earth, there shall be a new heaven and a new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, and that is where the full Godhead shall dwell for the eternity. This will be after Satan and those that followed him will have been turned to ashes in the lake if fire.

Don't get caught up with those that say that this earth is only six thousand years old, for they just don't know what they are saying. This earth is millions of years old, but the tracing of one man's family, Adam's family [through Seth]; for Cain the son of Satan murdered the first son of Adam, Abel. Thus we can trace the lineage of Adam all the way to the Virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ some four thousand years later. It is important to know the lineage of our Lord, from Adam, through Seth, all the way to Christ. That is the reason the fallen angels came to earth to marry and have children, for they were out to destroy the lineage that Christ would be born into. We read that in Noah's family the lineage was perfect in his generations.

Genesis 6:9 "These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God."

"Perfect" as recorded in the Hebrew text is "tamim"; "without blemish as to breed or pedigree." The rest of the human race had been polluted through intermarriage with the fallen angels. "His Generations" in the Hebrew text is "toledoth" = "family history". This was the reason for God cause the flood that killed all but two of each kind, and save Noah's family. Satan and his angels were out to end the plan of God, the coming of the Christ Child that would be born of human flesh within this earth age of flesh man. For this was prophesied way back in Genesis 3:15.

Genesis 3:15 "And I [God] will put enmity between thee [Satan] a the woman [Eve], and between thy [Satan's] seed [the Kenites] and her [Eve] seed [Jesus Christ]; It Christ] shall bruise thy [Satan's] head, and thou [Satan] shalt bruise His heel [Christ's heel]."

This is exactly what happened some four thousand years later, when Satan's children through Eve, the Kenites, plotted and murdered Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. The Levitical priesthood had been taken over hundreds of years prior to the crucifixion, back in Babylon by the Kenites, the Nethinims, strangers given to service, and the Kenites were changing God's Word with their own traditions. Jesus knew His Word, and in His ministry brought these Satanic traditions to light. That was the reason that these Kenites sought to kill Jesus from the start of His ministry. So was what happened in the garden of Eden a mistake? Hardly. It set the stage for the rest of God's plan to take place; even to our end time generation.

The point then to this verse, is that God placed this globe in its position so that it would always have its seasons, its water supply, its natural order of food lines, and a place where flesh man can live, grow and exist continually. Though man can break out to the outer surface of our globe, God has access to the entire universe. His vehicles are not limited like our, and these incorruptible bodies are not limited as these flesh bodies are. Remember that all wisdom from this universe comes from God. Everything that happens is within the plan of God, and the things that happened thousands and even millions of years ago, set the stage for what even happens today.

Today we use the carcass of dead animals and elements returning back to their natural existence to determine the age of things. Our tools are very backwards compared to the things of God, and we have no idea as to the forces that God uses for His use. When Satan in his pride tried to assume the role of our Heavenly Father back in that "age that was" there was a uprising where one third of all God's children [the created souls] followed him. This ended the perfection that existed from Genesis 1:1, and due to Satan's rebellion, God caused this earth to go into complete ruin.

Genesis 1:2 "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

The point I am making here is that this earth "was" [became] without form [a waste, "tohu va bohu"], and void. The earth was perfect and fit of habitation in the beginning, but after the fall of Satan, this earth became a complete ruin. No living creature of any sort was left on it. The earth wasn't created the ruin but it "became" in that condition after the fall, back in "the world that was", as Peter stated in II Peter 3. This is the same earth, but different earth age. The remains of that destruction are very obvious today all around the world.

Psalms 104:6 "Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: The waters stood above the mountains."

This verse is talking about the first destruction. In the world that was, before the fall of Satan. Then this earth was created to be inhabited, to be a place here for eternal existence. Isaiah 45:18 tells us; "For thus saith the Lord That created the heavens; God Himself That formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it no in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: "I am the Lord; and there is none else."

This is a powerful verse, for it lets us know right from the start that there is no other way or form that this earth, or the things upon it are made, except by God's creation forces and the natural order of all living life. Each creature, kind after kind, from the smallest life forms, to the dinosaurs that are extinct today. God "established it" by setting the natural law that exist, from the polar forces within each atom, to the polar forces that set our seasons, and count the days of each year. There are no accidents with God, the creation was not in vain, but was perfect from the time of the creation. God created this earth to have His creatures, including mankind, to inhabit it. Peter also spoke of this creation in II Peter 3:1-13.

II Peter 3:5 "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:"

Today men willingly choose to be ignorant of the instruction of God's Word. They put the blinders on to cover over all the evidence that this world is millions of years old, and refuse to accept the words of Peter here.

II Peter 3:6, 7 "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

This flood was not the flood of Noah's time for God spared reproductive mates of each kind of creature within His creation, including Noah and his family. In the flood of "the world [age] that then was", no creature was spared, not even sea life. The process that God used to create that first earth age, Peter is telling us that this same Word or promise of God, will keep this earth age together until after judgment day, when the new heaven and new eternal earth will be brought down to earth and come into being. The end of this earth age of flesh man is not far off today. We are living in the final generation of flesh man.

Psalms 104:7 "At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away."

Noah's flood took some fifty days to go down, but when God spoke after the great ruin that ended that first earth age, the waters went immediately away. This was when the great change took place. This is why you can go to India, and Alaska, and many other parts around the world, and find great mammoths from that age with buttercups still undigested in their stomachs. You find tropical animals and plant life frozen in the arctic regions. There was a time when the entire earth was warm, and Arctic regions were swamp land. It is going to return to that condition at the end of this earth age of flesh man.

Psalms 104:8 "They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which Thou hast founded for them."

This earth age came into being when this rebuke of the waters took place.

Psalms 104:9 "Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; That they turn not again to cover the earth."

This bound that was set declared that the waters may not pass over is the sea shores of the lands all over the world. When this earth is destroyed again, it will not be by water, but this earth age will be destroyed by fire. Again the documentation for this is II Peter 3:10 "But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

The day of the Lord is not that far off, for we are now in the fifth trumpet. The world has its one world government, the Jews have returned to Jerusalem and the things that are talked about for the end times are either history to us living today, or the news we read of daily in our papers. When our Lord Returns there will be a consuming fire, and it is time to find out what kind of standing you are in before the Lord. If you are in Christ, then you are part of that consuming fire that shall destroy the evil rudiments [elements] of this earth age. Are you paying attention to the truths concerning this earth age? Do you know what Father expects of you in these end times? There is not much time left to prepare yourself. If you are in Christ, this consuming fire will not destroy, but warm your heart. You will be tried and tested, but you will be all the stronger in the end.

Psalms 104:10 "He sendeth the springs into the valleys, Which run among the hills."

This now looks at how God takes care of the earth He created, and His care for all the creatures He placed on this earth. God places the little springs that come out of the sides of the hills, so that they will water the valleys below.

Psalms 104:11 "They give drink to every beast of the field: The wild asses quench their thirst."

God not only created these wild beasts of the field, but He is telling you that He cares enough for them that He provides springs for them to water. He is saying, "I can take care of not only the beasts in the valley, but the wild goat up on the mountain top." God doesn't need any man to take care of His creation, He is saying, "I can take care of them Myself." The point stressed here is that if God can take care of those wild beasts, don't you think that He can take care of you?

Psalms 104:12 "By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, Which sing among the branches."

It is enjoyable to listen to the wild birds singing their tunes in the trees, as they communicate one to another. God created and takes care of each of them.

Psalms 104:13 "He watereth the hills from His chambers: The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works."

Our Heavenly Father controls all the forces of this earth and the age we live in. Sure we have storms here and there, and a draught now and then, but on the whole, mankind can live and survive on this planet God created for him.

Psalms 104:14 "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, And herb for the service of man: That He may bring forth food out of the earth;"

The farmer plows the fields and plants the seed, but it is our heavenly Father that causes the seed to germinate and grow. He gives us the feed for ourselves and our animals. God created the sun in the sky, and the clouds that cause the rain to fall, and these are part of the process of growth in plant life. It is from the elements, the herbs and minerals that go into those plants from the dirt of the earth that gives us the building blocks that go to make up our flesh bodies. God made this process that builds the house or [flesh body], and your soul and spirit will live in that body for this earth age of flesh man. God looks out for all His creation, and that includes you.

Psalms 104:15 "And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, And oil to make his face to shine, And bread which strengtheneth man's heart."

God also makes the fermenting process of the grapes that makes the wine, which in turn causes mortal man to be glad. When man gets down and out, God even makes the substance to pick up his spirit. The oils that go into your body give the lubrication to make the body function, while the bread gives strength to his heart. Can you see the Love of our Father for you, in all that He has provided for you? Can you see all the little things built right within your body to give you either pleasure or protection? God loves you, and He cares for you, and He wants you to love Him.

Psalms 104:16 "The trees of the Lord are full of sap; The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;"

God compared His people to trees, "the cedars of Lebanon". When they were taking Jesus up the hill to be crucified, the women on both sides of the road were crying , and Jesus said to them, "Oh daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children." "For, Behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say, `Blessed are they that are barren.' " That means that they had not been seduced by Satan, and taken as brides of Satan. This was referring to the deception of the end times that shall cause the people of that end generation to spiritually be unfaithful; to be with child of the devil. If you are of Christ, you are God's virgin bride, and God expects you to be faithful to His coming at the seventh trump. We are living in that generation when many will fall off to the Antichrist Satan, and in ignorance they will become part of Satan's bride.

He said, "if they do this to the green tree, that means while the sap [the blood is still in the veins] is still in the clay vessels, what will they do to the dry?" What will they do to this spiritual body after the resurrection? So ask yourself, What have you done with Him? Do you believe He arose from the dead? Do your believe that He is coming again? Or are you one of the modern day thinkers that believe that He was a man only when the sap or blood was still in Him? Do you believe that Jesus was the tree of life, spoken of back in the Garden of Eden way back in Adam's time?

The cedars of Lebanon have always been symbolic of our people; God's people from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So something is about to be said of these people.

Psalms 104:17 "Where the birds make their nests As for the stork, the fir trees are her house."

So what is being said here? God has said, "I am a great fir tree." The cedars of Lebanon are referred to as Israel, His people. The "stork" is a unclean bird, and no matter where these Cedars of Lebanon [these evergreens] are, these storks or unclean people will come and nest in and with the cedars of Lebanon, claiming that they are from God. They will lay claim to something that is a lie, and that is exactly what the Kenites do. They claim to be of God, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, taking the role of scribes and priests, but they lie are actually the sons of Cain, the son of Satan from the garden of Eden.

God praised two of the seven churches of the end times, the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia for a reason. They knew who these Kenites are and would not allow them or their lies in their churches. Revelation 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty (but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." The Kenites are not from God, but from Satan, and don't let anyone tell you different. God will not hide the truths of His Word from His elect, but the Kenites are hidden from those that seek to be part of the world. Are we to hate the Kenites, no, they are here to serve a purpose to God's plan, and they do. The are the negative part of God's plan.

Psalms 104:18 "The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; And the rocks for the conies."

God provides a home for all the creatures of His Creation. Don't you think He can take care of you, when you believe and trust in Him?

Psalms 104:19 "He appointed the moon for seasons: The sun knoweth his going down."

The moon was also created, and is a very important part of our Heavenly Father's plan. All of the prophecies that are given in relation to the moon or months, has to do with prophecies that concern Satan, or Satan's children the Kenites. However, on the other hand, those prophecies that are given in days and years, that deal with the sun and solar calendar, have to do with God and His children. So the first thing that we should be aware of when we read of the prophecies of the Word, is whether it is given in day and years; or months or the position of the moon. Is the prophecy of the night or the day? Is it directed to God's children or Satan's children? Every thing has its time and season, and when you are a child of the light, those prophecies of Scripture that deal in days and years are directed to you. God placed the prophecies in Daniel and the rest of the Word, so that some living in the end times would understand the times they are living in.

Psalms 104:20 "Thou makest darkness, and it is night: Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth:"

In that time of night when the moon is shining, and it is dark, that is the time the beast of the field do their hunting and movement. This even tells us that when the darkness of these end times cover the earth, that is the time that the children of the night, Satan's children, and even the two beasts of the end times will be making their moves. Yes both the beast's heads, the religious and the political of Revelation 13:1-3, will make their move to take control of this world. As children of Light there is no darkness, and so there should be no beast to control you, speaking in a spiritual and political sense. When the political beast sets up its system and then dies, or is done away with, out of the confusion comes Satan and his fallen angels to set up their religious system.

Revelation 13:3 "And I saw one of the heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."

The political beast is the political system that tries to control all the nations of this earth. Though all the nation on the face of the earth today are charter members of that United Nations system, it will fall very shortly. Mistrust and just plain bad decisions will cause this system will fall apart, as it is starting to do today.

Revelation 13:4 "And they worshipped the dragon which have power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

This happens at the coming of the dragon Satan, for when Satan comes he will have supernatural powers that will be used to deceive the entire world into following him. When you know and can identify Satan for who he is, you will not find him or his tricks inviting.

Psalms 104:21 "The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their meat from God:"

This sets the pattern as to how the locust army of the end times will come at you and those that love the Lord. Revelation 9:8 tells us that they will have the teeth of lions. They will rip and tare at you, and there will be no mercy, for the only thing that matters to them is their meat. The meat of these young lions are the benefits that they receive from their systems...trade, merchandising, banking and all that goes with the economic and religious systems they set up. You and the things of this world become their meat spiritually speaking, and they give no mercy to you as they try to take what is rightfully yours. Remember that they call themselves "from God, God's people", and those things they do, the feel they are justified in doing.

Psalms 104:22 "The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens."

When the sun goes up, when the children of God steps out to control these systems, the Kenites and the people following Satan just lie down comely in their dens and await for their time. If you want to avoid being trapped in their system, be wise in God's Word, and aware of those things that are going on around you. Know the events dealing with signs and seasons from the Word; and those prophecies that are directed to you, from those things that are not.

Psalms 104:23 "Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening."

Psalms 104:24 "O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast Thou made them all:"

If you belong to God, the things of God belong to you also. Ezekiel 44 tells us that when we are God's elect, overcomers in these end times, those things of this earth will be our inheritance. God has given us a great deal of blessings even in this earth age, and He has promised us that He will take care of us and our problems that we can't handle.

As we stand and look into the heavens at night, we see the manifold works of our heavenly Father. Sure they are beautiful to look at from this earth. Mankind has sent their probes into space to take a closer look at the moon and some of the other planets, and the one thing that stands out, is that those other places are unfit for human life. Barren and desolate, either to hot or to cold, and unfit for life in any natural form. Sure God created it all for a purpose, and He created this earth for the life that is living on it now. This earth is the most beautiful and colorful of all the heavenly bodies, for it has the blues of the waters, and the greens of the life forms. God created it all for us to life on, enjoy life and to give praise and honor to Him.

Psalms 104:25 "So is this great and wide sea, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts."

God takes care of the whales, just as He takes care of the smallest fish in the sea.

Psalms 104:26 "There go the ships: There is that leviathan, whom Thou hast made to play therein."

By setting the stars in the heavens, the ships can know exactly where they are on the high seas, and even the sea monsters, the sharks and whales can have the room to play and move around the world.

Psalms 104:27 "These wait all upon Thee; That Thou mayest give them their meat in due season."

All of creation wait on the seasons of this earth for their meat. For food to come ripe, for animals to grow to become the meat, and for the rains to give enough to feed all the creation. Every things has a time and a season, however the most important season to us living in this generation, is the season of the parable of the fig tree, that Jesus told us to learn.

Matthew 24:32 "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:"

This entire chapter of Matthew 24 deals with the seal or events that shall take place in the last days, just before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 24:33 "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."

The Jews, the good and bad figs have returned to set up their nation in Jerusalem, and that tree was placed in 1948. The one world system is here now, and all the other prophecies that are suppose to happen are history to us, or are going on today.

Matthew 24:34 "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."

The parable of the fig tree tells us that our generation that has seen this all happen will not die off, until all the prophecies of this earth are fulfilled. The last to happen before the return of our Lord is the sixth trump, when Satan comes to this earth, and takes control of all the people of this earth. You are living in that generation, and it is time to look out the door and see what is going on in the neighborhood and around the world today. You may not know the day or the hour, but you had better know the generation that you are living in. Jesus told you to learn it, or you will be deceived.

Psalms 104:28 "That Thou givest them they gather: Thou openest Thine hand, they are filled with good."

Our heavenly Father is very natural in all that He does. When any man ceases to be natural in what he does, then he becomes ungodly. God created male and female for a purpose, and that is a natural act for life. When mankind practices unnatural acts, such as sodomy, that is ungodly. Every natural law that God brought in force is still in force, and God expects all his creation to follow those laws of nature.

Psalms 104:29 "Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled: Thou takest away their breath, they die, And return to their dust."

When you determine in your heart or mind that you will not follow God's natural order of things, God pulls away from you. When you go about strange lifestyles, things not normal happen to you, and in the end it causes their death. This of course is talking about the life of clay man [humans] that is made of the dust of the earth. When this clay body dies it goes back to the soil that it is composed of, the spirit that is the intellect of your soul, goes back to the Father that placed it within you at conception. However while you are in this clay body, why don't you make the best of your life that you can, by serving Him, and doing things His way. When you do it God's way, He will take care of you.

Psalms 104:30 "Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created: And Thou renewest the face of the earth."

Did you get that? God sends us His Spirit, for we are created souls. It was no accident that you were born. God placed your spirit within your soul in that "age that then was" [in the first earth age], then placed your soul and spirit in your flesh body at conception. It was no accident that you were born. The time is coming when the things of this earth age will be over and done with, and then the renewal process will happen instantly. In the twinkling of an eye, when all flesh of these corruptible bodies will be put off, and we will go instantly to our incorruptible bodies that shall never age. Where did your soul come from? Of course if you are a Christ, you know it came from God. Then at death or at the seventh trump it will go back to the Father that created it.

After each of these soul passes through this earth age of flesh man, born to an earthly mother and father; then this earth age will be over and done with. Then the heaven and earth will be as recorded in Revelation 21. It is our Father will that all souls be saved, but He also gives them the choice to follow Him or Satan. God's coming kingdom will be based on the past, things that happen today are based on those things that have happened before. In the next chapter God will lay out for us how the past was, and He assures us that this is how His coming shall be again.

Psalms 104:31 "The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: The Lord shall rejoice in His works."

There is no end to our Lord's kingdom, and it is for eternity. The Lord created this earth and all mankind for a purpose, and He is happy in the works that has been done.

Psalms 104:32 "He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: He toucheth the hills, and they smoke."

If God wants to change something on this earth, all He has to do is look at it. There is nothing that happens to this earth that is out of God's control.

Psalms 104:33 "I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being."

This is flesh man speaking, for the soul of man that is in the Father will live eternally. While we are in these flesh bodies, our soul will sing praises to the Lord as long as I am within my being.

Psalms 104:34 "My meditation of Him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord."

When I think of my Lord, those thoughts will be good and sweet, and they will bring gladness to my heart. You can't think on the Lord without counting the blessings that He has given you, and when you see the blessings, you can see His love and emotions for you.

Psalms 104:35 "Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, And let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye THE LORD."

This last verse of Psalms 104 looks back to verse twenty nine; that time when flesh man turns back to the dust of the earth. At that time when all flesh is done away with, and judgment is over, let the sinners be destroyed. That is exactly what shall happen at the close of the Millennium age, as recorded in Revelation 20:13, 14; "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

There is only one time that all sinners shall be destroyed from the earth, and that is when they are consumed right along with Satan and all his fallen angels in the lake of fire. We know from Revelation 21, that even the memory of those sinners will be erased from the minds of their loved ones, following the judgment day.

This chapter ends with a strong "Hallelujah", which in the Hebrew tongue is "Praise ye the Lord". We can only praise the Lord when we look at His faithfulness to His Word. So this final verse of 104 closes out the Millennium age, calls attention to the final destruction of the sinners and Satan, and takes us into the eternal age that shall be right here on this earth after rejuvenation. This has been a wonderful chapter with many promises from our Lord to us, promised when we love and revere Him.
