"He put on righteousness, as an habergeon, and an helmet of salvation upon his head, and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak."

Isaiah 45:7 got stuck with me this past Shabbat. Some translations have it as "causing peace and creating #disaster ", but the original is "I make peace, and create #evil ".
Evil ?
How did I miss this before???
I looked at the first occurrence of the word; which is in the name "the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil" and yes, the word "evil" in Isaiah 45:7 is understood to mean evil.
So Satan isn't the origin/creator of evil; iniquity was simply found in him so we can call Satan the first evildoer.
I have so many question on this:
- Why would Father create such a stumbling block?
- Is evil merely a test of self-will so that we can show our true colours?
- Is our understanding of the word "evil" correct?
- Did Isaiah write down exactly what he heard?
- Did the original text go astray over the centuries?
What are your thoughts on this?

Thought for Today: Monday March 03
YHVH grant us the Light through Yeshua Moshiach – which is faith – the warmth of His love -- and all of Moshiach which is Salvation. Why refuse such a gift? It is for free yet many does not want it before it is too late. I pray that your choices will be wise today.
Very strange court case. A little over 13 minutes long.
New moon was sighted Friday Feb 28, 2024 making March 1, 2025 Rosh Chodesh for the 12th Biblical month.
In scripture, stones often represent people. Something borne on the shoulders is responsibility and authority. Remember the two onyx stones on the High Priest's shoulders, inscribed with the names of the tribes.
The stones that the men in Joshua 4 carried on their shoulders also represented the burden of their leadership over their respective tribes.
Joshua 4:2-4 contains a parallelism on the selection of 12 stones within a chiasm on the selection of 12 men. Stones often represent people in Scripture.
A. Take 12 men, one from each tribe
B... Take 12 stones from the midst of the Jordan
C...... The place where the priests' feet stood firmly
B... Bring them over and lay them down
C...... In the place where you lodge tonight
A. Joshua called the 12 men, one from each tribe
