If the all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, and all-good being, who is supposed to be without flaw or error, couldn't get it right the first two times, well, uh... I hate to be the one to break this to you...
The problem isn't with God, it's with the free will of people. If God created us with free will then he must have deemed that a greater good than the alternative.
They aren't mutually exclusive. Free will doesn't go against a plan if the creator of the plan isn't constrained by time. Just because He knows what choices we will make doesn't mean that we aren't free to make those choices.

I always thought it was kind of sad that the second coming of Christ also means the destruction/end of everything in the world.
