John Frame, On the Eternality of God
“A covenantally present God, like a temporalist God, can know (and assert) temporally indexed expressions like ‘the sun is rising now.’ He can feel human beings the flow of time from one moment to the next. He can react to events in a significant sense…He can mourn one moment and rejoice the next. He can hear and respond in prayer in time. Since God dwells in time, therefore, there is give-and-take between him and human beings…So God is temporal after all, but not merely temporal. He really exists in time, but he also transcends time in such a way as to exist outside it. He is both inside and outside the temporal box – a box that can neither confine him nor keep him out.” (Doctrine of God)
