Isaiah 45:18 - Exposition

Thus saith the Lord , etc. Translate, Thus saith the Lord that created the heavens—he is God—that formed the earth and made it ; he established it ; he created it not a chaos , but formed it to be inhabited : I am the Lord , and there is none else. As God had not formed the earth to be a material chaos, but had introduced into it order and arrangement, so he willed his spiritual creation to be recovered out of the confusion into which it had fallen, and to be established in righteousness.
