See above. "Outside of Time" would be the opposite of what you are saying. It means that all of time is Now to Him. So He is simultaneously aware of the past, present and future. It's like standing outside your house and seeing through different windows what is happening in both your son and your daughter's rooms at the same time.
I gave the example of looking at a cube and seeing all 3 of its dimensions at one glance, like seeing past, present, and future at one glance.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
