The term "appointeth" is an archaic form of the verb "appoint," which appears in various contexts throughout the Bible. It generally refers to the act of designating, assigning, or setting apart someone or something for a specific purpose or role. This concept is deeply rooted in the sovereignty of God, who, according to Scripture, appoints times, seasons, leaders, and tasks according to His divine will and purpose.

Divine Appointment

In the biblical narrative, God is often depicted as the one who appoints individuals to fulfill His plans. For instance, in 1 Samuel 13:14, God appoints David as king over Israel: "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." This appointment underscores the belief that God chooses leaders based on His criteria, often looking at the heart rather than outward appearances.

Appointed Times and Seasons

The Bible frequently speaks of appointed times and seasons, emphasizing God's control over history and events. Ecclesiastes 3:1 states, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." This verse reflects the understanding that God has established specific times for various events in the world, and human beings are to recognize and align themselves with these divine appointments.

Appointing Leaders and Servants

Throughout Scripture, God appoints leaders and servants to carry out His work. In the New Testament, Jesus appoints the twelve apostles to spread the Gospel and establish the early Church. Mark 3:14-15 records, "He appointed twelve that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons." This appointment signifies the authority and responsibility given to the apostles as representatives of Christ.

Appointing for Judgment and Salvation

The concept of appointment also extends to judgment and salvation. In Acts 17:31, 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." Here, the appointment of a day for judgment highlights God's ultimate authority and the certainty of His plans.

Conversely, believers are appointed to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:9 assures, "For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." This appointment to salvation is a source of hope and assurance for Christians, emphasizing God's grace and mercy.

Human Responsibility in Divine Appointment

While God appoints according to His will, human responsibility and response to these appointments are also emphasized. Believers are called to recognize and fulfill their God-given roles and tasks. In Acts 6:3, the early Church appoints deacons to serve: "Brothers, select from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty." This demonstrates the collaborative nature of divine and human action in fulfilling God's purposes.

In summary, the concept of "appointeth" in the Bible reflects the interplay between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. It underscores God's authority in designating roles, times, and purposes, while also calling individuals to respond faithfully to His appointments.
