God doesn’t have a beginning or an end as said at Rev 22:13 :" I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. " So, know one came befor him and know one will come after him.

I don’t feel that way about suffering. I know it wasn’t created by Jehovah. But I believe he allows it so that he can prove a point. In the beginning Satan questioned God’s position as the Universal Sovereign. Jehovah told Adam and Eve they would positivly die if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. Gen 2:16,17
But satan told them that they wouldn’t. That in the day they eat from the tree. They would be just like God. Knowing the difference between good and bad. Satan’s challenge brought into question the right and validity of Jehovah’s position as the Universal Sovereugn. Gen. 2:17; 3:1-6. Satan charged that no human would voluntarily remain loyal to God. This malicious claim by Satan is clearly revealed in the Bible’s account about Job. A faithful servent of Jehovah’s who under went a great test by Satan sometime befor 1600 B.C.E. Job 1:8-11. So suffering is in this world because Satan challenged the integrity of God’s servents. He claimed that none of us would voluntarily remain loyal to God unless it’s always good for us. As it was for Job. God had blessed him with prosperity. So, I put this question out there. When things arn’t going your way in life. Do you blaim it on God and loose your faith in him or do you suck it up and say it might be bad right now but with God’s help it WILL get better?
