This is quite true but there is more to it than is given in this
simile. The temporal dimension we perceive (time) is not the same as
God's temporal dimension (eternity). These are both temporal
dimensions, but, like north and east, they are different, independent
dimensions.

Those things God did in an instant from His eternity temporal
reference may span billions of years in our time temporal reference.
