Your argument has makes me think about consciousness and God in ways I had not previously considered. The terms ‘God’ and ‘consciousness’ are ambiguous at best, and that is why I think it makes for such and interesting problem.
Of course my first question is about consciousness. When we say that God is a conscious being of what is He conscious? Do the contents of His consciousness change like ours? Does God have an unconscious part of His intellect?
The second thing I ponder is if time is the only field of action for consciousness, time being only one metric of extension. A graph with an x-axis of God's anger and a y-axis of Man's disobedience would show a change relationship without any reference to time. But intuitively I agree time and consciousness seem go hand-in-hand.
