Like Anselm's argument if you can conceive it than God must be able to do it and more besides. All equations can run forwards and backwards. Entropy moves the universe's equations forwards, but in a closed system certainly entropy can run backwards, why not time?
On the other hand if God did such a thing, what would that imply about human choice and free will?

Of course. That's an elementary sci-fi concept. But God IS omnipotent, isn't He?
It now appears that time travel (into the past) is theoretically
possible. Questions of "shooting one's grandfather" and causality in
general are receiving serious consideration in the physics literature.
Human imagination is capable of pastward time travel. How much greater
must be God's imagination. And capability.
