Isaiah 45:7 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
Until this point, the prophecy foretells a wonderful event, but verse 7 introduces a sobering side of God's work: He creates calamity! He links two contrasting sets of events: light and peacerepresenting constructive, hopeful, encouraging eventsagainst darkness and calamityrepresenting destructive, fearful, discouraging circumstances. God creates both "good" and "bad" circumstances for His people and purpose.
