Jesus' Appointed Hour and His Death

We read in the NT that Jesus was not killed because His hour had not yet come.  That means He was appointed to die at a certain time.  We are also told that it was according God's predetermined plan that Jesus died on the Cross.

John 7:30  NASB
So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
John 8:20 NASB
These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

Here we read that God ordains whatsoever comes to pass:

Ephesians 1:11 NASB
also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

Here we read about the predetermined plan of God in His atoning death and that there was no other way:

Acts 4 NASB
²⁷ For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, ²⁸ to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur. ²⁹ And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence,

Here we read that the Father wanted no other way for His Son to atone for sin than His sacrifice of the Cross.  That is why Jesus prayed God's will be done:

Matthew 26:42 KJV
He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
