So God didn't know for sure if Christ would go through with the atonement? All the prophecies given through prophets were mere approximations?

You realise that this means there was a risk that God's entire plan could have fallen flat on its head, and all of God's children become lost and fallen forever, becoming angels to the devil, with no resurrection or salvation from sin?

No, God the Father knew that Jesus would go through with the atonement, and the prophecies were not approximations. Still, Jesus had the capacity to do otherwise, or the atonement would have been of no value.

From our mortal perspective it is something of a paradox.
