Many people ask the question was there another person in the bible who passed through the trials which Job did?. My answer is this:
Job's affliction was exclusive while still being inclusive, in every generation the children of God are buffeted and afflicted and they still kept the faith. The Prophet Zachariah was sawn asunder between the proch and the Altar and he kept the faith untill death.
The Prophet Jeremiah was beathen and placed into a cess-pit yet he still kept the faith, Elijah was persecuted and yet he still kept the faith, Apostle Peter was persecuted and was crucified upside down yet he still kept the faith, Apostle Paul was buffeted, beaten, stoned in-prisioned yet he still kept the faith.
The Apostle John was place into a pot of boiling oil yet he still kept the faith, and the millions of Christians in the dark ages who were maimed, butchered cut asunder, placed into arenas with wild animals and were burnt to the stake yet they to kept the faith, and today when christians are buffeted, laughed at, jered at, and isolated and victimised YET WE TO KEEP THE FAITH.
Every child of God has their own separate great test or affliction or persecution to go through while being exclusive they are all inclusive all to the glory of God and the strenghtening of the church. If every fruit tasted alike yet with the same name how odd that will be. so as christians our name differ so does our test of faith to the building of character unto Perfection.

thank you for the encouragement. as you stated every one has to go through their own trials. when we look at Esther, Daniel,Jerome Huss etc,we see that they obeyed GOD rather than man. Sometimes the thing required of GOD seems to man as insignificant but the principle makes the difference. The principle is OBEDIENCE.All GOD asked of Adam and Eve is not to eat a fruit. Through this seemingly small thing the whole human race procured the penalty of death.When a requirement of man is required above the requirement of GOD we should "obey GOD rather than man".
Trials and test are some of the difficult hurdles we have to climb in this life, what makes or who rather makes the difference is the one who carries us through the trial and bring us out victories.
