God finished His work in CREATION on the 7th day. That says nothing about His other work

FK, perfect comes from completed accomplished or finished. Whatever other God's work you are speculating asbout, that is also completed. God doesn't leave anything unfinished because that would make Him subject to time.

If God is timeless, then we can't speak of His "foreknowledge" or His "future plans" can we? For, there is no past or future in God.

God isn't subject to time, but He has certainly chosen to work there. Christ's earthly ministry was indeed 2,000 years ago, not some other time. It was not 4,000 years ago and also yesterday. That is, from our perspective. If we simply say that God is timeless and leave it at that, then the only effect is to shut down discussion of God. God IS timeless, but He has chosen to engage. If He had not, then He would have created His little experiment and then left it alone. He has chosen otherwise.
