D&C 29

The Lord told Moses -

"...this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."  (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 1:39)

Obviously, His work is to provide immortality for all men and to those that use their agency to keep His commandments, eternal life.  This is the Lord's perspective.  But to make it simple for us living in mortality He explains -

"...all things both spiritual and temporal—
32 First spiritual, secondly temporal, which is the beginning of my work; and again, first temporal, and secondly spiritual, which is the last of my work—
33 Speaking unto you that you may naturally understand; but unto myself my works have no end, neither beginning; but it is given unto you that ye may understand, because ye have asked it of me and are agreed.
34 Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me are spiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal; neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom I created."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 29:31 - 34)

In my mind, His entire work includes a temporal like world for man to exercise agency.  Thus he does not perceive temporal things from eternal perspective as we do in this life.  It is all a spiritual or an "eternal life of man" perspective.
