What is the relationship of time to eternity, spiritually speaking of course?

How is ti that what is timeless comes to experience time, that what is changeless experiences change, and what was extended in perfection comes to experience imperfection?
why does human existence seem to be riddled with paradox?
Thank you for answering.

God is timeless. So time does not exist or mean anything to him. He created time for us, as he lives beyond time.
I have a feeling that with God all time is happening at once, the past, the present and the future. That's maybe why we have this Scripture:
Isaiah 46:9-10 (New International Version, ©2010)
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 [b]I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.[/b]
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’

What?
When I think of the word "timeless" I think of special occasions, anniversaries, weddings, etc...
You do not know that something was imperfect unless you had actually achieved perfection. That my friend, is a paradox right there.
