If God is omniscient (all-knowing), how can God not be aware of what will happen eons before it occurs and thus be emotionally prepared for it?

And this perfect god also is disappointed in HIS own creation. hmmm, perhaps being a perfectionist isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Because He can.
"If God is omniscient..." He is.
"how can God not be aware..." He is aware.
"and thus be emotionally prepared..." What makes you think He is not "emotionally prepared" for the our choices? Does that preclude Him from responding to those choices? Of course not.

Assigning God human emotions is the best we can do within our limitted understanding, but I think it actually limits God and is inaccurate in God's experience of us and, well, everything. But since we are stuck with expressing things outside of our understanding with concepts that are withIN our understanding, you get imperfect situations like this.

i wonder these things too...and i choose to not dwell on all the things about God that i don't understand. what i do know is that God loves me and i have the opportunity to spend eternity with Him in paradise because of the sacrafice my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ made for me...i figure, one i get there, all of these things will be revealed! until then i will just trust...

Knowing something is going to happen and living through the experience are quite different things.

I dont think you can bring God to the level of a human and reason with it the way you did in this question.

He was disappointed by it before it happened.

GOD CREATED THIS UNIVERSE AND INSIDE THIS UNIVERSE EVERYTHING IS RESTRICTED BY TIME AND SPACE. HIS CREATION INCLUDED FREE WILL AND ALL THAT THAT INPLYS INCLUDING DISAPPOINTMENT.
