Understand God & Time best explained theories?

[englands123]

I read somewhere which helped me to understand in a simple format.

Pretending (time) is a hula hoop & perfectly rounding shape.

God is directly in the centre.

Always the same distance in any time period.

I always liked the idea of time and the world being a book. God can flip through the book and read (and in his case interact with) any page within it. I have enough author friends who talk about their characters having lives of their own that this analogy doesn’t conflict with free will for me.
