It underscores the belief in God's ultimate authority and control over the universe and human affairs. The concept of being appointed is woven throughout Scripture, highlighting both divine purpose and human responsibility. Divine Appointments In the Old Testament, the idea of divine appointment is frequently associated with God's covenant people, Israel. God appoints leaders, times, and places according to His divine will. For instance, in <a href="/exodus/9-5.htm">Exodus 9:5</a>, God declares, "The LORD set a time, saying, 'Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land.'" This demonstrates God's control over time and events. The appointment of leaders is another significant theme. In <a href="/1_samuel/13-14.htm">1 Samuel 13:14</a>, God appoints David as king: "But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler of His people, because you have not kept the LORD’s command." Here, God's appointment is based on His knowledge of the heart and His purposes for His people. Prophetic Appointments Prophets in the Bible often speak of appointed times and events. In <a href="/habakkuk/2-3.htm">Habakkuk 2:3</a>, it is written, "For the vision awaits an appointed time; it testifies of the end and will not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay." This passage emphasizes the certainty and divine timing of God's plans, encouraging believers to trust in His timing. New Testament Appointments In the New Testament, the concept of being appointed continues to reflect God's sovereign will. Jesus Christ's life and ministry are marked by divine appointments. In <a href="/acts/10-42.htm">Acts 10:42</a>, Peter states, "He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead." This appointment underscores Jesus' unique role in God's redemptive plan. The Apostle Paul frequently speaks of his own appointment by God. In <a href="/1_timothy/2-7.htm">1 Timothy 2:7</a>, he writes, "For this reason I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth." Paul's sense of divine appointment drives his mission and ministry, reflecting the broader theme of God's calling and purpose for individuals. Human Responsibility and Response While God appoints times, leaders, and events, human response to these appointments is crucial. In <a href="/acts/17-31.htm">Acts 17:31</a>, Paul declares, "For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead." This passage calls for a response to the appointed day of judgment, highlighting the intersection of divine sovereignty and human accountability. Conclusion The biblical concept of being appointed reveals the intricate balance between God's sovereign will and human responsibility. It calls believers to recognize God's authority, trust in His timing, and respond faithfully to His purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(imp. & p. p.) of Appoint.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4287.htm">4287. prothesmia -- appointed beforehand</a> ... appointed beforehand.
