Will Our Suffering End? - What the Bible Says

God cares about us.

He is not indifferent to our pain and sorrow.

"[God] has not despised nor loathed the suffering of the oppressed one; he has not hidden his face from him. When he cried to him for help, he heard. - PSALM 22:24.

"Throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." - 1 PETER 5:7.

Suffering will not continue indefinitely.

The Bible promises that God's purpose for us will be realized.

"God . . will wipe out ever tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more." - REVELATION 21:3, 4.

God will address the causes of human suffering.

He will do this by means of his Kingdom, which the Bible describes as a real government.

"The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed to any other people. . . . It alone will stand forever." - DANIEL 2:44.

Will Suffering Ever End?

Yes, but not by human efforts. Man's governments can only address the symptoms of our suffering, but God  can address the causes.  By means of his Kingdom. he will do so.

Note: As I have spoken of this before,  when Satan was telling Jehovah that the only reason Job worshipped him was because he was getting rich etc.  That was Satan criticizing God's sovereignty, so, Jehovah said go ahead and do to him what you wish, just do not kill him and see how wrong you are.  Of Satan was wrong, but would give up, he kept telling Jehovah that, it was just one person, that everyone else would not be like job. Satan said that he, himself would be better at running the world. So Jehovah told him okay, go ahead and see how bad you are at doing running the world.  Now, if you and everyone else lived realistically, you could very well see what a mess human governments made of this world/system of things.  It just keeps getting worse. It won't be like that when Jehovah takes over. So if you want to be in the new world  when it is time, then everyone needs to get into God's graces and worshipped, work for him, trust in him, study about him to learn  and to know the truth of what is really in the Bible.
