God as transcendental imagination is a temporalizing instance opening an absolute future

Evidence

Perhaps we could orient this interpretation differently. If God is conceptualized as transcendental imagination, this amounts to positing him as a temporalizing instance. Hegel never again puts into question the definition of transcendental imagination as an originary synthetic faculty which a priori makes possible the subject’s relation to the sensuous entities encountered in experience. Indeed, quite to the contrary, he always stresses the importance and the speculative value of this discovery. Now could it be that this possibility of seeing in advance (voir d’avance) is exactly what opens up for the subject the horizon of a pure and absolute future? Could this be the very perspective inherent in the movement of ‘to see (what is) coming’? — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 896
