God is the center, while man is on the periphery.
And there is someone else, who isn't being discussed, who is an enormous part of the drama: Satan.
The drama that's playing out in heaven and on Earth involves all three and it's clear that a good share of the plot hasn't been shared with us yet. We know a bit about how it began, what's going on, and how it will end, but we don't have the knowledge that God has. Maybe someday, we will know. But, until then, we shouldn't be too concerned with why God has chosen to keep us uninformed.
The important thing is we are his creations and he has provided us a way of escape from judgment. It is just human hubris to think that we should be privileged to know everything that God does--and that is a sin. He lets us know what we need to know and nothing more. And it's cool to know that Satan will lose.
