... to answer the question (of) what came before.

A quick clarification. There is no "before". Not only space and matter, but time itself sprang forth from the hand of God at the creation. There can be no concept of time where there is no dimension or substance.

And at the ending of creation there will - again - be no more time. There will be ... something else.

I'm really not picking nits here but...

G-d Spoke the universe into existance. He uttered the Word, and the universe sprang forth.

I've always thought the idea was rather beautiful. There is power in words. Someday, I hope to be able to ask what the Word was.

This is my point. There has to be something.
