“The fact that God is the Lord of time I have interpreted to mean that he has a plan or design for history, that nothing takes place outside of the divine will; that he is not limited or changed in any fundamental way by the passage of time, and that God is a metaphysically necessary Being who lives forever and ever. To this I would add the metaphysical properties of relative timelessness. By “relative timelessness” I mean that God is the Creator of our (physical, measured) time; that in contrast to our time, God’s eternity is infinite and immeasurable; and finally that God’s time is dependent on God’s Being, not the other way around.
