Actually, it is not so much time itself as the *MONOTONICITY* of time
that is important in my view.  Time is irreversible: it only goes one
way; it can't go backwards.  This is probably the single most limiting
fact of existence in the "world".  Since God exists outside of time,
this poses no such limitation to him.  Time was created to introduce
an element of our existence that we have much less control over than
God has.  It is a major inhibition to keep men from ever ataining
anything like godship (Mormons and Hindu's included!).
