From the distillations of essentially all ancient writings and religions and mystical societies we have the concept of a limited duration Universe that we live in. The standard cycles are four ages preceded and followed by a creation phase and a dissolution phase. These cycles repeat. There was a point where there was no physical Universe. We are outside of time here.
Time is a property of the physical Universe.
It is not yet created. Now consider that the physical Universe exists. All Mystics are in general agreement that the physical Universe does not last for an indefinite period and that it is not a permanent place. Well, not really - in fact, from their point of view it is absolutely correct. The mechanism of creation and dissolution is outside of time.
