Are the saints and angels coming down to us during the liturgy?

When God does things, he does things inside of time, meaning that he does them at actual periods within history that actually took place, and yet he himself is outside of time, in that he sees all time as one. In fact, even what's wild is in the prayers that we read during the liturgy, we talk about the cross, the tomb, we actually pray all these things that have come to pass for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection on the third day, the ascension into heaven, and the second and glorious coming. So the priest actually prays for a future event as if it's a past event, because when we're in the liturgy, technically speaking, we are outside of time. In fact, one of the theological points that I often speak about is that people often think that we have icons on the wall because it's like the saints and the angels are coming down to earth and that they're worshipping with us. This is completely false. The understanding from the holy fathers is that the church itself is actually elevated up into heaven, and the church itself goes outside of time, actually you could say goes into eternity. And that all of the saints and the angels that we see in the icons, and also all the saints and angels that people actually see during the liturgy, are because the church is actually elevated up into paradise during the divine liturgy.
