Question: If there is a God, then why is there so much suffering in the world?

Answer: The Bible shows us that when people reject God and refuse to obey the commandments He gave us for our health and welfare, we will reap the consequences of that rebellion; the results of which we are witnessing in our world today. In other words, if people want a world without God, then He will let them have the results of their own choices.

The suffering and evil that is in the world is actually the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy and evidence of God’s existence.

The Bible also shows us that if mankind repents and stops operating in opposition to God’s word, He will intervene. However, the Bible also says that mankind will not repent (Rev. 9:20,21). Evil will then proceed until it reaches its fullness, cumulating into a brutal totalitarian one world government (Rev. 13). This government is currently being formed under the guise of “globalism.” Shortly after this government has gained full control, Jesus will return supernaturally (Zechariah 14, Matthew 24:27-31, Rev. 19), destroy the wicked, restore the earth and bring in an era of peace and righteousness.

Bible prophecies are 100% accurate. Anyone who says they are not has never studied them.

The point of it all is this, the evidence we see of evil in the world is prophesied in the Bible and so is its conclusion. We have been given hope in Jesus the Messiah who is the fulfillment of multitudes of prophecies, foreshadows and typologies. Faith in His death for our sins and resurrection from the dead gives us hope for the future on this earth and life that will last for eternity. - “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:16,17).
