Logically speaking an eternal being would live on an entirely different time scale than us. Therefor it would be inpossible for him to follow what we were doing.

Not necessarily. What if the "eternal being" was actually everything, a sum total of all matter in the universe outside of space and time. Kind of a singularity. It would observe all time, absorb all events and affect everything at it's one and only instant.

If, by "plausible" you mean "unable to be logically understood, therefore unfalsifiable."

We only know of physical existence (which requires spacetime) and abstract existence (which is dependent on physical things). To simply state there is another way something can exist, without argument or examples, does not a plausible proposition make.
