Seeing the Viśvarũpa darshanam, Arjuna goes through two emotions. The first emotion was wonder and the second was fear, because he saw Lord destroying everything.

Viśvarũpa consists of everything including time. Time and space are an integral property of creation. Time and space can never be separated from creation, they arise along with creation.
