People think that G‑d first made a world and then gave us instructions to follow, so we won’t mess it up. The truth is, the instructions came first, and the world was designed as the venue to carry them out.
Therefore, to say that anything in the world could oppose its Creator’s will is an absurdity. There can be no opponents to the purpose of creation—only meaningful challenges.

Opposing Routes
Our destiny is prescribed
- to reveal the nature of G_d and to become like Him.
Our time to accomplish this goal is set
- 6,000 years to move through all the states necessary to change our nature that is opposite to His ways.
Only our route is for us to choose:
- Follow the way our sages/Kabbalists used to draw the Light to accelerate our changes to reform our nature and be a light to all people.
-Then we experience a pleasant journey. The path called 'achishenu'.
or
- follow the path of suffering 'beito' to be pressured from behind through many harsh situations.

Our nature is G-dly we are here to transform the nature of this realm. Fixing it and making it an abode for G-d. Reply
We are here to understand the quality of G_dliness.
So, G_d devised a method of presenting 2 opposing qualities within humans in order for us to discern the divine nature through comparing opposites. This is the 'meaningful opposition '.
The whole Torah provides the instructions to correct the evil inclination, our intention towards self-benefit.
"I have created the evil inclination I have created the Torah as a spice." (Kidushin 30b).
Yes, Balur, those in whom the Godly nature has awakened are responsible to present a model of unity that exemplifies the holy attributes. This accomplishment will radiate to all humanity.
Then G_d can dwell amongst us, in unity.

re: Torah and the World
Wow!
'amein' to that!
Ethics of the Fathers comes to mind, in the saying of Rabbi Tarfon, who said, “The day is short, the task is great, the laborers are sluggish, the reward is much, and the Master of the house is urgent.” 21. He also used to say, “It is not thy duty to complete the work, but neither art thou free to desist from it; if thou hast studied much Torah, much reward will be given thee; and faithful is thy Employer to pay thee the reward of thy labor; and know that the grant of reward unto the righteous will be in the time to come.”
Therefore I wholeheartedly agree, that the Torah came first, and then the world in which to employ it.
Just like a student who, faithful in his or her discipline, then seeks employ to carry out their instructions.
Instructions come first, then the construct in which to employ them.
Life is very hard. We need the light of Torah to exist.
The Tehillim also confirms this article's validity, that in chapter 125 v2-3
First the Torah, then the World!

The Instructions - How to connect the two Forces
All the Torah speaks about are two forces: the force to receive and the force to give. All the external characters mentioned in the Torah such as: "Moses", "Aaron", "Abraham", "Haman", "Modecai", "Amalek". and all others are the clothing of these forces. Each represents one or the other force.
The Sulam commentary on the Torah provides the internal meaning of these dressings - How we internally transform our will to receive for the self into the desire to give and feel others as ourself. All the complexities and multitudes of forms of these corrections are described and documented as the Kabbalists attained the corrected spiritual forms within their nature. G_d prepared all these states for us to experience and understand, until we return to the original state as one connected body (soul) to receive the pleasure of His Light correctly.

Actually, there are people who oppose G-d. Like Hitler. G-d made instructions before the world was created its because of the nature of the world that He made to oppose Him. Hence He made instructions for how to fix and elevate this world by looking at His instructions in the realm where not only He is not recognized but also opposed. Because, there is G-dly, unG-dlly which is neutral like an animal soul who's purpose is for survival, and then there is evil. And evil clings to neutral to oppose and proclaim its reality. The evil itself has no agenda of its own. It says,however to us ,fix me. I have learned thus from Rabbi Manis Friedman. Chabad you are doing a great job. But please Someone is working along with you. It seems that part is overlooked.
