Reply To: A word on judging Judgement

Time means change. Hashem doesn’t change and so He is not within time. When it says what Hashem did, even when it sounds like an emotion, it is referring to the manner in which He related to us at that moment. Hashem Himself doesn’t have different moods. Chazal say that at the Yam Suf Hashem appeared like a young worrier, and at Har Sinai He appeared like an elder teaching Torah. It is about what He is doing, not about what happened to Him.

If you take my example of space further it explains this as well. You can be outside of an area and reach into a certain spot and affect a specific point, all while remaining outside. Hashem is eternal but He does deal with the world that exists within the frame work of time. This would mean that toward a certain time He acts a certain way.

He always acts that way toward that time.
