Don't you have to assume that Augustine is correct in his theories?

Yes and no. But he wasn't alone in making that point. For me Augustine just put it a way that I could understand. To have God contained in His creation opens up a mess of pantheistic problems. That and there is a lot of language in the Scriptures that talks of the End of Time, meaning more than just the end of the world.
What is interesting is that from the Incarnation, Jesus the Christ was born at a defined point in time. But that is a whole different set of stuff!
