This concept is woven throughout Scripture, illustrating God's sovereignty and order in His creation and His plans for humanity.<br><br><b>Divine Appointments</b><br><br>God's appointments are seen as sovereign acts where He designates individuals for specific roles or tasks. One of the most notable examples is the appointment of leaders and prophets. In <a href="/1_samuel/13-14.htm">1 Samuel 13:14</a>, God appoints David as king over Israel, saying, "The LORD has sought out a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler of His people." This appointment underscores God's authority in choosing leaders according to His purposes.<br><br>Similarly, the appointment of Jeremiah as a prophet is a divine act. In <a href="/jeremiah/1-5.htm">Jeremiah 1:5</a>, God declares, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations." This highlights the preordained nature of God's appointments, emphasizing His foreknowledge and intentionality.<br><br><b>Human Appointments</b><br><br>In addition to divine appointments, Scripture also records human appointments, often under God's guidance. In the New Testament, the appointment of deacons in the early church is a significant example. <a href="/acts/6-3.htm">Acts 6:3-6</a> describes how the apostles instructed the believers to select seven men to serve, saying, "Brothers, select from among you seven men confirmed to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them." This appointment was made to ensure the effective administration of the church's resources and care for its members.<br><br><b>Appointed Times and Seasons</b><br><br>The Bible also speaks of appointed times and seasons, which are divinely ordained periods for specific events. <a href="/ecclesiastes/3.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:1</a> states, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." This verse reflects the belief that God has established specific times for various events in the world and in individual lives.<br><br>The concept of appointed times is further illustrated in the feasts and festivals of Israel, which were set by God as times of remembrance and worship. <a href="/bsb/leviticus/23.htm">Leviticus 23</a> outlines these appointed times, such as the Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles, which were to be observed by the Israelites as perpetual statutes.<br><br><b>Messianic Appointment</b><br><br>The appointment of Jesus Christ as the Messiah is central to Christian theology. In <a href="/acts/10-42.htm">Acts 10:42</a>, Peter speaks of Jesus, saying, "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 signifies Jesus' unique role in God's redemptive plan, as the one through whom salvation is offered to all humanity.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical concept of appointment underscores the themes of divine sovereignty, purpose, and order. Whether through the appointment of leaders, the establishment of times and seasons, or the messianic role of Jesus Christ, appointments in Scripture reveal God's active involvement in the unfolding of His divine plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
