Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
The words ordain/ordained/ordination are used four times in the NKJ translation of the New Testament and none of them have anything to do with bestowing rank or offices on the members of the Church. In fact, in the NKJ, the term "ordination" is never used at all. What "ordained" is used for though is to describe the choice God made for the judgement of the world. Different translations often use different words, but the answer lies in the continuity of the record of scripture rather than in this word or that.

TRUST in Yehovah, and do good; dwell in the land,and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in Yehovah (our Father) and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way (thoughts, conduct) to Yehovah-Father, TRUST also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.
And Yehovah shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they TRUST in Him.
