The term "createth" is an archaic form of the verb "create," often found in older translations of the Bible. It signifies the act of bringing something into existence that did not previously exist. In the context of the Bible, creation is a divine act, attributed solely to God, who is the ultimate Creator of all things.
Biblical References:1.

Isaiah 45:7 · "I form the light and create darkness; I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things."

Psalm 51:10 · "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."

Theological Significance:The act of creation is central to understanding God's nature and His relationship with the world. It affirms His omnipotence, wisdom, and intentionality. Creation is not a random or chaotic event but a purposeful act by a sovereign God. The repeated use of "createth" in Scripture serves to remind believers of God's ongoing creative work, both in the natural world and in the hearts of individuals.
In the biblical narrative, creation is not limited to the physical universe but extends to the spiritual realm. God's creative power is evident in the regeneration of believers, the establishment of His kingdom, and the promise of a new creation. This underscores the hope and assurance that God is actively involved in His creation, working to bring about His divine purposes.
