I also believe that vanity/futility was inclusive of sin and death which the Creator knew the man created of the flesh would succumb to. Adam was going to sin and bring death into the world kosmos for the destruction of the devil and his works , which would also redeem that sold under sin.
I probably should state, I see the story to be that of creation for the Glory of God, if we are looking from the perspective of linear time, it's shaped like a cross, with the focal impetus being the Cross, Christ gathering in the Bride (from all times - think 24 elders) - to her glorification for the praise of His Glory. The story begins "IN the beginning" or as the Targum states "In Wisdom He created" which ends in His Glory.
This makes me amillennial, in the church militant, generally speaking. Christ is the Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End..
We are moving toward Glory. This portion of the timeline we are in is shorter as we are moving away from the focal impetus (in linear time) even as we move toward it, because armed with Truth, we move toward His Glory, and our ultimate glorification in Christ Jesus, gathering in the Bride as we go.
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
