Augustine believed that time belongs to God, therefore, it's a concept that cannot be applied to explain God's actions. Augustine proposed that Gods existence could be placed in a timeless present simple. He believed that eternity cannot be measured in terms of time, and said that God is eternal as eternity does not pass and is always present.

Hope it helps!
