As far as how an eternal being exists, creates, and relates to the world of creation...I think this is beyond our understanding. It preceded time and originated it. Yet there is no before time in reality since before comes with time. It's just that time couldn't appear out of nothing so God on ontological level precedes time and always existed and is in the state of eternal existence as he always was. Time now relates to him, and he sees it, but that is not to say that time really keeps him or that there was a time in which he was not creating and just standing idle. It's just that creation requires time, and time requires a start, and start of time requires a cause.
I also added the following argument, so this argument is preceded by three first initial proofs leading to the conclusion that universe/time had a start.

2. If there is no start of time, each point of time would be preceded by another point of time.
3. If there is no start of time, no point of time can come into being without a time preceding.
4. If there there is no start of time, every point of time needs time preceding.
5. The whole of time is every point of time.
6. There would be no time preceding the whole of time where it had no beginning.
7. Thus it's a paradox showing time indeed has a start from an eternal being.
