Ορισμένη από το Θεό χρονική στιγμή
Explanation:
which sounds: "Orismeni apo to Theo chroniki stigmi"
"Th" is pronounced like in

with "appointed" you mean "set" not "blessed", isn't that so?

the link I give below is from a translation from the book of Hebrews 9:27, it refers to the appointed time of judgement

I have translated appointed as blessed as was not happy with the Greek equivalent.

Pronounced = Mίa theoevlogimέni hronikί stigmί.

  -> There are several options on how you can translate this phrase.However the word sigekrimeni refers to the stigmi and not to Theos and I believe that is quite clear. Bible's translations (and there are a few of them)have a certain way of translation.
