Redefining 'Evil' and 'Plague'
Commentators clarify this is not a promise of a trouble-free life. Rather, what appears to be evil will not ultimately harm the believer. Scholars like John Gill and Matthew Henry explain that while believers face affliction, it is not divine punishment but is intended for their ultimate good. As Charles Spurgeon notes, 'It may have the appearance of evil, but it will turn out to your good.'
