Psalms 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul.
O LORD my God, Thou art very great ;
Thou art clothed with honor and majesty.
104:2 Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment :
Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain :
COVEREST = PRIME OF CLOUD = ATMOSPHERE.
104:3 Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters :
Who maketh the clouds His chariot :
Who maketh upon the wings of the wind :
HIS CHARIOT = HIS TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE (EZEKIEL 1).
WIND = RUACH IN THE HEBREW = HIS SPIRIT.
104:4 Who maketh His angels spirits ;
His ministers a flaming fire :
HIS ANGELS = HIS MESSENGERS. ANGELS ARE SPIRITS, AND ARE CALLED SO IN HEB. 1:7, 14, I PETER 3:19.
HIS MINISTERS = HIS SERVANTS.
104:5 Who laid the foundations* of the earth,
That it should not be removed forever.
THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH = THIS EARTH IS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD.
SEE NOTE BELOW.
104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment :
The waters stood above the mountains.
WHEN THE FIRMAMENT (OZONE) FELL, THE OCEANS WERE FORMED AND THE WATER STOOD ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS.
THIS WAS THE FIRST DESTRUCTION (THE TIME OF THE DINOSAURS).
THE EARTH BECAME VOID AND WITHOUT FORM.
MAKE A NOTE OF ISAIAH 45, MATTHEW 13.
104:7 At Thy rebuke they fled ;
At the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away.
THE WATERS FLED AND THE SPIRIT MOVED UPON THE WATER.
104:8 They go up by the mountains ; they go down by the valleys
Unto the place which Thou hast founded for them.
104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over ;
That they turn not again to cover the earth.
HE PROMISED NOT TO DESTROY THE EARTH AGAIN BY WATER.
104:10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys,
Which run among the hills.
104:11 They give drink to every beast of the field :
The wild asses quench their thirst.
104:12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,
Which sing among the branches.
104:13 He watereth the hills from His chambers :
The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Thy works.
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 ;
MAN = HUMANITY.
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.
WINE IS PROVIDED FOR MAN.
MAN = WEAK, MORTAL MAN.
104:16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap ;
The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted ;
TREES ARE SYMBOLIC OF PEOPLE.
THE TREE OF LIFE IS SYMBOLIC OF CHRIST.
THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL IS SATAN.
CEDARS OF LEBANON = SYMBOLIC OF GOD'S ELECT.
LET'S SKIP TO VERSE 26.
104:26 There go the ships :
There is that Leviathan, whom Thou hast made to play therein.
LEVIATHAN = ONE OF SATAN'S NAMES.
104:27 These wait all upon Thee ; That Thou mayest give them their meat
in due season.
104:28 That thou givest them they gather :
Thou openest Thine hand, they are filled with good.
HE TAKES CARE OF NATURE.
104:29 Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled :
Thou takest away their breath, they die,
And return to their dust.
WHEN YOU HIDE YOUR FACE, THEY ARE DISMAYED :
WHEN YOU TAKE THEIR BREATH (THE FLESH MAN), THEY DIE,
AND THE FLESH RETURNS TO THE EARTH.
104:30 Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created :
And Thou renewest the face of the earth.
HE IS GOING TO REJUVINATE THE EARTH WHEN GOD THE FATHER WILL MAKE HIS HOME HERE (REV. 21).
GOD BLESS
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
To arrive at the true meaning of this expression, we must note that there are two words translated "foundation" in the New Testament : 1. Themelios, and 2. Katabole.
The noun katabole, derived from, and cognate with the verb, ought to be translated "disruption", or "ruin".
The remarkable thing is that in all occurrences (except Heb. 11:11) the word is connected with "the world" (kosmos), and therefore the expression should be rendered "the disruption (or ruin) of the world", clearly referring to the condition indicated in Genesis 1:2, and described in
II Peter 3:5-6. For the earth was not created tohu (Isaiah 45:18), but became so, as stated in the Hebrew of Genesis 1:2, and confirmed by II Peter 3:6, where "the world that then was by the word of God" (Genesis 1:1), perished, and "the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word" were created (Genesis 2:4), and are "kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment" (II Peter 3:7), which shall usher in the "new heavens and the new earth" of
II Peter 3:13.

WHAT HAPPENED TO CAUSE THIS DESTRUCTION ?
Satan fell from grace. His job was to guard the Mercy Seat, but he became proud and powerful, and thought he should be God (Ezekiel 28). When he fell from grace he took one third of God's children with him (Rev. 12:4). God did not want to destroy His children, therefore, He decided to destroy that age. Everyone is born innocent without any memory, and they have a choice to make: follow God or Satan.
