God is well aware of how this world will end. He will return to create a new Heaven and a new Earth (Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.)
God created man to worship Him and fellowship with Him. God also gave man 'free will' to make our own choices, rather than creating puppets on a string. The sin, strife and brutalities of this world are MAN-created, not God-created!
I suggest reading the Bible. Pretty much all the information you're seeking is in there!

I believe that we are ALL Spirit children of God. We lived with Him in Heaven before we came to earth. God has a Physical body and He wanted us to grow and get one too. The method of doing this is the earth...
but Satan wanted us to lose our Free Will and HE would make sure we did whatever was necessary to return to Heaven...
God did not approve of taking away our Free Will, so Satan rebelled and tried to take God's power. There was a war in Heaven and Satan (along with about 1/3 of the Spirits there) was cast out of Heaven... not all of the Spirits in Heaven had taken a side in the war... so now we are being tested... to see for ourselves if we will take Satan's side... or God's...
We are weak, and Jesus volunteered to come to this world in the flesh and sacrifice himself for the sins of any who would accept him as their Savior so that we could return to Heaven. Jesus KNEW that He would be tortured and Crucified, but he loves us so much that He still did as he promised...
He will keep his promise of forgiveness also...
Oh, this test is not to let God know how we will obey, it is for US to understand the truthfulness of the final Judgement... for only those who will obey God's commandments will live in Heaven.

Although He knew, he'd never thought that we humans being His finest creation, would rebel against Him. However, He still loved us so much that He gave His only Son to die for us, that we might have salvation free by His marvellous grace. Knowing that I'm saved for eternity gives everyday meaning and brings me joy in affliction.
Praise be to God in the highest!

God created man in his own image, he gave man something more than all the other animals and plants. God gave us a mind a soul and a body as well as free will.
Free will is a gift of love, God could have created man to worship and please him with no choice, no free will, but what would that be worth.
I have small children and they love me, I provide for their needs and give them love and understanding. I also give them choices in life, I help them to see right and wrong and I hope they will make the right decisions. If I didn't love them so much I would make all the decisions, I would tell them what they had to eat, what they had to wear, what to read and how to talk.
What kind of love would they have then, and why would they love me. I sacrifice for them, I work to provide for for their needs and they see that I care for them and they in turn love me.
God would be please if we would all love him and that would in turn cause us to love each other. However God can not tolerate sin in any form or any amount. That's why Jesus had to be the sacrifice for our sins, his blood covers our sin and when God sees those who chose Christ, God sees his (Jesus) righteousness in them.
The world no matter how hard it tries will end with the millennial reign of Jesus Christ, it will end in peace and tranquility with Jesus as the ruler of all for a thousand years.
Praise the Lord.

I believe he created us to be the best we could be. We have free will so we always have a choice. We hear his word but we have the choice to believe or not. I have lived both ways and I can say from experience that living in tune with God is much better than living with just my own will to depend on. He hears our prayers and loves us beyond measure. When I just believed in my self I went along but was not in tune with his huge spirit to guide me. He has come through for me in ways I could have never thought of myself. I think this could be true for everyone but we get to choose to believe or not and if we don't we figure it all out our self. There is love and order in the universe. Just look at the birds who fly south for the winter - they don't think about it or analyze it they just do it. If we listen for his will and just do it in our own life our life starts to take on a huge spiritual happiness that logic has no way to explain but is beautiful and wonderful. peace.

Before mankind sinned, when the world was perfect, that was the way it was intended. GOD made man with the ability of free choice. He wanted man to serve him out of his love and appreciation for what GOD has done for him. Then Satan, not GOD made this world evil. That is way Satan was able to tell Jesus that he will give him all kindoms of the world.

there is more than just 1 world besides our earth.
god, gods and heaven and hell and hell beings are here and there to regulate the flow of ying and yang so that it is more or less balanced and of course, to watch over our doings.
it is the past and present karma that can make the ying and yang imbalanced if what we did were wrong.

Well, I won't even pretend to know the answer to your question. But if I'm a Christian. I'll answer your question with this " Only GOD knows! If I'm a Muslim, Only ALLAH knows! If I'm an atheist, GOD doesn't know cause he does not exist. Me? I don't want to know!

I don't know the answer, but look in the Bible, He told us the world would be found burned up. Looks like we're not far from that now.

Everyday is a test. We are put here to make decisions and to see how we make them...it started with Adam and Eve......somewhere along the line hopefully someone somewhere will make the right decision!!
