Dear Rick:
The Hebrew word "ra" translated "evil" in Isaiah 45:7 is virtually ALWAYS translated "evil" in OVER SIX HUNDRED DIFFERENT SCRIPTURES. This is very easy to prove. Just look up the word "evil" in an exhuastive concordance and then see what Hebrew word this word "evil" is translated from. Over six hundred times it is from "ra" just as it is in Isa. 45:7. Some people just LIE.
I don't have time to go into where Jesus was Michael the archangle in an email. It would take a hour or more to answer that. It is NOT a big issue.
God be with you,
Ray
