'Appointed Time' in the Bible

And they suddenly screamed out, "What do you want of us, you Son of God? Have you come here before the appointed time to torture us?"

From one forefather he has created every nation of mankind, and made them live all over the face of the earth, fixing their appointed times and the limits of their lands,

But this I do say, brothers. The appointed time has grown very short. From this time on those who have wives should live as though they had none,

So now you know what it is that is holding him back from making his appearance before the appointed time arrives.
