You might be right about such a verse, but I'm not sure off the top of my head. I can assure you though that you can find Christian proponents of both A-theory and B-theory of time. This is an active area of disagreement, particularly among philosophers (although it's true that a lot of question are under active disagreement among philosophers!). Example discussion, which I'm not up to date on myself: https://iep.utm.edu/god-time/

It is a popular notion that God exists outside of time but this is a modern idea with very sketchy biblical support. Certainly there is nothing in the Bible that directly says anything like this.

Traditionally people point to 2 Peter 3:8 and Hebrews 13:8 as implying this idea.

There are a few other passages that seem to hint at it as well.

I'd describe it as a model of God that fits well with the Bible but which the Bible itself does not explicitly present.
