JOB 7:1 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? JOB 7:2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: JOB 7:3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
ECCLESIASTES 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
JOB 14:13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! JOB 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
ACTS 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
“Now, Jesus here was speaking, He said, "
Father, the time has come." Now, there's seasons for everything. Do you believe that? You sow in a certain season, and you reap in a certain season. And there's seasons when the time comes that's right for things to happen. Do you believe that? The time came one time for God to destroy the world with water. And He sent a man by the name of Noah. And God got the world ready for judgment. And He taken... The
time came for Noah to go into the ark. Look. Noah could not go into the ark before God was ready for him to go
. But when the season came for Noah to go into the ark, God shut the door behind Noah. Is that right? All the opportunities for anyone else to ever enter, it was gone, because that God had closed the door. And there's coming a
time when God's going to close the door for every one of you. Do you believe that?”

[Genesis 7:15-16],
[John 17:1]
“Now, there was a time when God made the heavens and earth and put men on the earth. And then when man begin to multiply, and wax great in the earth, building cities, and many people begin to be fully populated, wickedness
set in among the hearts of the people,
and the time came where God had to send judgment. God set a time for that judgment. And then, He also had a preacher of righteousness by the name of Noah, who preached a hundred and twenty years and was turned down by everyone except his own family.
Then the time come that what Noah had prophesied through God must come to pass. And the antediluvian destruction taken place and God floated the ark through, preserving Hisself a seed.”

[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8],
“There was a
time when God spoke to Abraham and told him that his seed would sojourn for four hundred years, and be evil entreated in a nation, a heathen nation, but He would bring them out with a mighty hand. Now, before that could take place which God had said, God had to have this nation ready; He had to have the people ready; and then He had to have a Moses ready to--to go down there. God makes everything work together right, just like cogs coming together.
We see it off, sometime in the distant and wonder, "Could it ever be?" But it always happens just the way God said it would be. And when the time of the promise drew nigh, there come a pharaoh who did not know Joseph. And then at the
time of the persecution and killing of the little children, God sent Moses; a prophet came on the scene. And miracles and signs begin to happen in the age because the
time of that age was finished.”

[Exodus 12:40-41],
[Acts 7:17]
“When Daniel was throwed into the lions' den. The
time had come for God to move out and to speak. And He closed the mouth of the lion by sending an Angel into the den with Daniel. Jesus, just before Calvary... The
time had come when the proclamation must be signed. It come a
time where Adam's race was at the end of the road; something had to be done. It was at that
time that Zacharias, standing in the temple, saw an Angel of God, Who warned him and told him what was going to happen. The
time was at hand. And he was--doubted the Angel's word and was stricken dumb. The
time had come when Mary was coming from a well that day with a pot of water on her head. The
time had come for the visitation of the Saviour. And she--and a virgin was conceived and bear a son.
The time was there, regardless of what the world didn't even believe it, was there right in line with their teaching. But the time come, and when the time has come, "It's going to happen." Amen. The Angel Gabriel met the virgin and told her she'd be overshadowed by the Holy Ghost and would bring forth a son, and He'd be the Son of God. Never had happened in all the world, but the
time had come.”
[56-1002A Father The Hour Has Come, Chicago IL], [Daniel 6:7-23], [Luke 1:5-25, 30-32, 35]
“God's got a time for all things. He's got a time that He has... We plant corn. We got a time that we plow corn. Then at the time, we harvest corn. The spring rains come, the drought through the summer, the fall rains, the snows. You just can't say I plant my wheat today and tomorrow and go out and harvest it. God has times for season. He has seasons for His Word. He has times when the--in the Scripture here where It said, "And the Presence of the Lord was there to heal the sick." That's when Jesus was ministering too. At the Presence of the Lord was there to heal the sick. Maybe at other times the Presence of the Lord wasn't there to heal the sick. And we find out that God works everything seasonally. And now, when Moses, what he failed to find was the--the time limit of God.” [55-0116A The Believer's Position In Christ, Chicago IL], [Luke 4:18], [Ecclesiastes 3:1-8]
“Notice how God did not move Israel until His Own appointed time. (Now listen. This is going to mean something.)
Joshua waited for that time. No how matter, how much people might have said, "God gave us the land, the promise. Let us go now and take it." They might have said, "Joshua, you lost your commission. You're all washed up. Why are you not doing something? You used to do, know THUS SAITH THE LORD in a moment, and what was the will of God." But this wise, God-sent prophet knew the promise of God, but also knew to wait for that promise, a clear-cut decision from God for his
time. (See these parables. Now watch.)
And when the time come, God gave it to Joshua, who had stayed with Him, by the Word, for He could not trust others. He could trust him. So will it repeat.”
[62-0318 The Spoken Word Is The Original Seed, Jeffersonville IN], [Exodus 12:40-41], [Joshua 1:2-3]
“And God sets a time and has a purpose for everything that He does. There is nothing happens just accidentally to those who love the Lord and are called according to His calling. See? We are predestinated. And everything works just right, for that, because He cannot lie.
And He said that was so, that everything has its time, its season, and it has its way.
And God is behind every move. And sometimes you think that everything is going wrong. It's up to us. Those things are put upon us, trials and wonderings. It's testing, to see how we will react on an action.”
[62-1223 The Reproach For The Cause Of The Word, Jeffersonville IN] [Ecclesiastes 3:1]
