Time is an aspect of Ea. The Timeless Halls and the Void are implied to be outside Time. The Time begun with Ea, and when the Valar descended to Arda.[1] Time perhaps represents the sequence of the chords sung by Eru in the Ainulindale.[2]

The Count of Time begun with the Two Trees[3] (see: Years of the Trees).

The expression Deeps of Time probably loosely refers to the vast extent of Time[4] in the unfathomable past or future, and each specific point is a finite space in the Deeps of Time.[1]
