Agree. My thoughts are that "AT POINT ZERO" before God sets out to start a new generation of the Plan of Happiness, He approaches the "Council of the Gods" to be given leave to recruit that vast cohort of intelligences. In order to begin the implementation of the Plan, They must verify ("looking into the future") that a "Lamb of God" is provided as a sacrifice to make everything possible. Including all the contentions in the pre-existence, acquisition of matter "unorganized", setting up a "Garden of Eden" primed for the Fall, all the natural disasters and grief, and the deliberate rebellions and perversions and agonies. The Resurrection is the gift made possible by the Atonement.
This is the "price" the Father and His Lamb of God were willing to pay (IN FULL) to make ALL the experiences possible. So even if reprobates don't appreciate that price, it was necessary to bring about the next Eternal Round.
