yadda_yadda,
If you read carefully-er, you will find that there was no appointment whatsoever. There was a prediction of one possible appointment and two identifications, neither of which were of necessity to occur, but either of which could occur. Each identification was predicated upon a certain set of conditions. Neither of these sets must be met. Therefore, the resulting appointment from one of the identifications is also not required as a fulfillment . . . this wasn't a prophecy, it was counsel.
