Did God Create Evil?

Did God Create Evil? 

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

In this verse, many read "and create evil" and run a mile with it, claiming it means God created evil. So is this true? Nope, just by reading 4 verses before debunks the entire claim.

"And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name...I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things" (Isaiah 45:3-7).

It should also be noted, the word used for evil, "רָ֑ע" has a larger variety of meanings. It can also be translated as disaster, calamity, or most commonly, bad. When we read the context, we learn the passage is speaking about Israel. So, what am I getting at? Well, the verse is merely speaking that God can bring peace or he can bring bad things to happen to Isreal.
