D&C 61:19-20 vs. God Existing in an "Eternal Now"

In D&C 61:19-20, we have strong evidence against God existing in an "eternal now":

 

I, the Lord, have decreed, and the destroyer rideth upon the face thereof, and I revoke not the decree. I, the Lord, was angry with you yesterday, but today mine anger is turned away. (D&C 61:19-20)

 

Here, God decreed something and then later revoked that decree; further, "yesterday" he was "angry with you" . . . "but today" his anger is "turned away" (i.e., propitiated). This shows progression in God's working out things he decrees and his anger.
