But what then is God? Do people in their hearts agree on a single definition that fits and satisfies everyone without doubt?
Is God without beginning and without end? Does the follow verse refer to God?
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." Rev 22:13

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.” Psalm 139:7-10
“Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.” Jerem 23:24
