There was a song that had Psalm104:15 in it during charismatic renewal. Does anyone remember the words to it? The last part of the little song was "and oil to make my face to shine".
Carlos, your questions: "what does the Bible say happened to the Tree of Knowledge? As an aside, here is another example of allegory. Psalms 104:4, Hebrews 1:7, "Now about the angels He says: "He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire."" So, if that is literal, how long were the Angels there protecting the Tree of Life? And if these trees are no longer there, were they cut down? What happened to them? Did more trees of knowledge grow there?"
My answers: we're not told what happened to that tree. The Psalms & Hebrews references: clearly metaphorical, but if one had to insist they were not, I wouldn't dispute it as I can't ascertain any other Scripture to support their view. No idea how long the Angels were protecting the Tree of Life: we're not told. Were they cut down, what happened to them or did more trees of knowledge grow there? No idea, except for Rev 2 & 22 references to the Tree of Life.
My connection of Adam to Christ was purely as two who possessed a sinless nature. Both had the capability to be tempted, one failed, the other passed.
My "assumption that God wanted to shield Adam and Eve from Knowledge of Good and Evil, to keep them innocent". Yes, this is my assumption based on the fact that God said to them that if they ate of the fruit or even touched it, they would die. Of course, they didn't die immediately, but sin entered & they died spiritually & eventually, physically. So, death was the direct product of disobedience & sin, but my assumption from the reading is that, since God selected that particular tree for them to stay away from, there is also the thought, that they being debarred from such knowledge was paramount in maintaining their innocence which was in God's design for mankind.
God didn't send "the most corrupt thing in His Creation into the garden". Satan came to it of his own volition & in his plan.
Truly, the Lord God is supreme. He is in total control. Let all therefore submit and worship Him.
Only God can be attributed those claims; therefore, it’s God’s sovereignty that makes Him superior to all other gods and makes Him, and Him alone, worthy of worship.
How manifold is thy works Lord thru wisdom you've done them all and on this earth are full of thy riches .JEHOVA JIREH THE LORD MY PROVIDER I will praise you Jesus forever for you are worthy Shalom amen
This is a most interesting psalm where all the qualities of the Almighty God is defined for you to appreciate. It goes further to let you understand the extra gifts of bread,wine and oil that gives strength and gladdens the heart of man. It is a psalm of life's needs met on your daily living. if I have my way, I will recite this psalm everyday.
WOW! This whole chapter give the earth, humans, and beasts great examples of how ..., ..., ..., GOD is, therefore Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with Honour and Majesty. Amen. WOW.
V. 1 - " ......."O Lord my God ......."; As I read this just now - it brought to mind Thomas, "My Lord and my God." Thomas was a Jew and would NEVER called Jesus "my Lord AND my God" if he hadn't believed Jesus was - God the creator of everything - Deut. 6:4.
Ps 104: 2,3 Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,...who maketh the clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind.
These verses are some of the very most beautiful in the entire bible. The whole chapter is wonderful. The last verse is interesting to dream about as well.
yes ,my dear brothers and sisters after reading this psalm 104 it is clear that lord jesus is the only one who designed the earth and its belongings ,so let us all not forget his deeds forever and praise him till our last breath
Psalms 104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Ecclesiastes 3:20 All go unto one place all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Jeremiah 32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
"All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all". O Lord my God, how great thou art.
Revelations, etc. tells us the earth will be destroyed, then a new earth will be built. Psalms 104:5 says it will not be removed forever. V. 5 does not say the earth will never be destroyed.

How wonderful and marvelous are thy works Oh God. For He sent forth His spirit and they are created. Ps. 104 30. Creation came into being from where? The sea came into being from where? From where comes the galaxy? This hanging planet earth came into being from where? The air we breathe that gives free oxygen for our sustenance flows from where? You are indeed wonderful and marvelous God.
Psalm 104 shows what a mighty God we have and a providerfor all. Oh what a blessing just to sleep at night with a loving God and to awake in the morning to see all his neautiful work. What a mighty God.
there is only one Jehovah Jireh the Provider. Jesus wants us to live on a green pasture with full of life in abundance. Thanks be to God for his mercy and love endureth forever. amen
these are praises of the lord that can be witnessed with our own eyes. GOD SHOWS US HIS HIS MAJESTY AND WE SHOULD WORSHIP AND PRAISE HIM. THANK YOU DADDY
See if any of those are your song
I just hum the ones I can't remember well or I make up my own lyrics for the tune. It happens to everyone.
Magnify his wonderful name
For the glory of the Lord is mine forever
Jesus is ever the same
For the Lord has set me free
And given me liberty, to tell the world that Jesus is mine,
He has given me the wine to make my heart rejoice
And the oil to make my face to shine
