I believe when God created, He put his creation inside of a time box. God himself is outside of time. From inside the box, we get glimpses of timelessness.
Because God is outside of time, He sees all of time at once. This is why God can foreknow and yet be moved to action by my prayers. It is why I can make bad choices and yet in the future God can make these choices work together for my good. It is why freewill and predestination can both be true. All time is equal to God.
One day when I escape the limitations of my body, I will also leave the boundary of time and step into eternity.
Then I will know as I am known.

Same path of thought for me too. We can only see through a glass darkly . . . but I think you are right.
