I concur with your observations and your logic. There needs to be "procession" with God and cause and effect do happen for Him. I certainly don't mean to talk in absolutes and; therefore, I need to clarify that I believe that God is outside of OUR time. This means that the term "time" is relative and not absolute. It pertains to us. Here is the basis for my reasoning:


(Alma 40:8.)

8 Now whether there is more than one time appointed for men to rise it mattereth not; for all do not die at once, and this mattereth not; all is as one day with God, and time only is measured unto men.

Our time is based upon "cycles" relative to rotations and revolutions of planets, etc. Temporal time, then, is based upon that which is "assigned" to us in terms of location. Consider the "original" reference point about which everything else revolves. By definition, there would be NO time at this location, since it is the reference point. Now whether the center of our galaxy revolves or rotates about something else, I don't know. But I do know that Heavenly Father resides at the center about which everything else revolves. Too, I believe that He IS all powerful. To elaborate further, consider:


(2 Peter 3:8.)


8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

This scripture suggests to my mind that Heavenly Father and possibly the angels ?? have the ability to transverse time. The foregoing scripture would indicate that He has the ability to cause time "dilation" and time "contraction." He can "amplify" and "attenuate" time. It would be a lengthy discussion, but recently I read the account of a near-death experience by a member of the Church, Kim Rives, who indicates that she was taken to the crucifixion and conversed with the Lord on the cross. If this is the case, there was interaction at that time index. This would mean that the Garden of Gethsemane would be a temple in which each of us would have our individual sins atoned for by the Savior at that time index. (This would infer time travel . . . backwards and forwards.) I have evidence to support the same kind of "dilation" and "contraction" with space.
