If you opt for theism rather than simple deism, then God needs to have a temporal quality to intervene in the world. If God is outside, looking at the whole of space-time, the future is already there in the landscape. Interestingly, although people may argue over the order of events, they won’t argue about their order if they are causally related. This demands a God who steps in and out of time, moulding the geometry of space-time. But a God who acts in the world is a God who acts in time. So it is very difficult to square a timeless God with a God who acts in the universe.
