THE "APPOINTED TIME" MEANS THE SAME THING AS A "PREDESTINED" DATE IN THE SCRIPTURES.........
The Scriptures tell us that every prophetic event in God's prophetic plan is scheduled for its' preset "appointed time" which means that it has a "predestined" preset date on which it will be fulfilled in the future. No prophetic event is random or imminent in God's prophetic end-time plan, NOT EVEN THE RAPTURE, which also IS NOT IMMINENT because it has a preset "appointed time" or "predestined" preset date on which it will happen according to :
Daniel 8:19
"Behold I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation ( tribulation ) for AT THE TIME APPOINTED the end shall be."
Daniel 11:27
"......for yet the end shall be AT THE TIME APPOINTED."
Daniel 11:35
"....even for the time of the end because it is yet for A TIME APPOINTED."
Acts 17:26
"And He hath made of one blood of all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth , and He hath DETERMINED THE TIMES BEFORE APPOINTED, THE BOUNDS of their habitation."
Romans 8:29-30
"For whom He did foreknow HE ALSO DID PREDESTINED to be conformed to the image of His Son .....Moreover whom HE DID PREDESTINE , them He also called , and whom He called, He also justified , and whom He justified , them He also will glorify."
Ephesians 1:5
"Having PREDESTINED US unto the adoption as children by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will."
Ephesians 1:11
"In also we have obtained an inheritance, BEING PREDESTINED according to the purpose of Him."
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT :
There is no random or imminent event in God's prophetic plan for the end times. Every prophetic event has a preset "appointed time" or "predestined" date on which it will occur. The Book of Revelation reveals the preset "appointed time" and the "predestined" date for BOTH the resurrection/rapture of the Church followed by the Second Coming of the Lord. The Book of Revelation also reveals that those two prophetic events will occur at their respective "appointed times" which are exactly 1,260 days apart from their respective "predestined" dates to be fulfilled on God's Sacred Lunar Calendar. If you are interested you can find both the "appointed time" and the "predestined "dates with the information given to us in the Scriptures.
Come Lord Jesus!
