You think deep thoughts ... deep to deep, He cherishes your exchange/communing with His Spirit. That God can see tomorrow there should be no doubt, for He whispered prophecies to His prophets. That He inhabits tomorrow should not be in doubt because He tells us so. He built uncertainty into the universe as we perceive it, but it is uncertain only from our limited perspective. Parphrasing, 'For now we see as through a glass, darkly; but then we will see clearly.' God placed our temporal limitations upon our existence now so that we may exercise faith while in/because of our uncertainty state.

This is a key statement you make.

It speaks to the desire of intimacy that God seeks to have with us. Now think about that comment! God "SEEKS" to have with us. That indicates that at one point He doesn't have it, and then at another point He may have. God waits!!! In order to wait, time must pass.

My non-complete thought on this issue is this: Although God exists in eternity past, eternity present, and eternity future, He, at the same time, can experience intimacy with me inside the time frame He has created that I walk in.

Now, how much of the knowledge God has, since knowing of all eternity from being there, and how it may affect the present intimate experience He has with me, this I don't know, because as you point out Paul's words, I'm looking through a glass...
