Isaiah 45:7 (KJ21)
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I, the LORD, do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7 (NAS)
The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.

Isaiah 45:7 (NIVUS)
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.

Isaiah 45:7 (NLT)
I am the one who creates the light and makes the darkness. I am the one who sends good times and bad times. I, the LORD, am the one who does these things.

According to the non-verified theory of evolution, mankind originated from apes and the earth was created by a big bang. However, in considering this, you might look at the orderliness of the universe. It is hard to believe that everything just fell into perfect order and that men sprang up on the only planet in our solar system that can support life. But men with darkened minds, in their attempts to become gods, put forth these outlandish ideas that take more faith than believing that a Supreme Being created the universe.

Adonai, the Almighty, is the Creator and Sustainer of all. It was His well organized mind that put everything in its proper place. He spread out the stars to cover the heavens. He formed light and from it fashioned a day. He made the sun to shine brightly and He illumines the moon and stars. Day and night, light and darkness were both created by the Most High.

All of the works of the Lord Jehovah’s hands are complete and whole. Through Him come peace, safety, and soundness. When you trust in Him, you have quiet tranquility, prosperity, and health.

However, those who turn against Him will be cut off. They shall have pain, unhappiness, and misery. Adversity and calamity shall be their lot. Those, who do evil, shall have distress come back upon them.
