All These Things

Isaiah 45:7 (ESV Strong's)

I form light and create darkness,

I make well-being and create calamity,

I am the LORD, who does all these things.

The creation account begins with darkness and light. 

The Garden of Eden contained both the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life. 

They both represent the same thing and pertain only to man and his relationship to God. These are necessary to create man in the image of God. It is the Lord who is doing this new thing with us. All things work to the good for those who love the Lord.
