He knew Jesus would survive as a baby to only suffer as an adult and die a horrific death. But he let every moment of his 30 something years unfold so he would become everything he was meant to be - the Saviour of the world.
Paul, who persecuted christians, would one day be his greatest messenger to the Gentiles. Peter who denied the Lord 3 times but became the leader of his church. Who walked on water only to stumble and have to take his hand. He knew all this would happen, but he lets everyone learn from their life experiences, build character and test their faith.
Its like reading a book even though you know the ending...there's turmoil and suffering and you want to skip over it and get to the good bits or the happy ending.
He knows Satan laughs and mocks him...but he will have the last laugh.
