Of course God(Eru/Iluvatar) is "outside " time.

Einstein tells us that time,space, matter and energy are all inter-related. There was no time before the physical universe of energy and matter came into being.

God (Eru/Iluvatar) existed before the physical universe, so he existed before time and is, therefore, independant of time.
