Appoint

The word "appoint" appears in the Bible at least a 167 time. Of the Twenty-five times it appears in the New Testament eight times it is seen in the Gospels. The Greek word tithemi^[1] appears 96 times but is only translated appoint 6 times which is first seen in Matthew 24:51.

The next two times we see the word appoint is in Matthew 26:19 and Matthew 27:10 and translated from the word suntasso^[2] which only appears in Matthew.

The next word we see in Matthew 28:16 is the similar word tasso^[3] commonly translated as appoint and ordain appearing only eight time in the Bible.

Luke uses four different words that are all translated appoint. In Luke 3:13, Luke 10:1, Luke 12:46, and Luke 22:29 each verse containing respectively diatasso^[4], anadeiknumi^[5], tithemi^[1] and diatithemai^[6].

In Acts 1:23 we see histemi^[7]) which appears 158 times but is translated stand 116 times out of 158 times

The list goes on including other words.

Jesus said he would appoint a kingdom, which was a form of government to His apostles and we see him do just that in Luke 22:29. He also ordered them to not be like the other governments of the world who exercised authority over the people to provide benefits.

The Free Church Report

The Free Church Report presents a unique path for the modern Church according the nature of the first century Church by explaining the duty and purposes of that institution appointed by Christ. While Rome declined under runaway inflation, corrupt government, martial law, and endless threats of war the Christians found an alternative to the men who “called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other”. The early Christian knew rights and responsibilities were indivisible. They sought the right to be ruled by God by taking back their responsibility, through the service of “called out” ministers who lived in the world, but not of it. Their government benefits came through a divine network instituted in their hearts and minds by faith, hope, and charity under the perfect law of liberty as their Qorban and the unrighteous mammon failed the Roman society.
