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.

Deuteronomy 10:12-14 NKJV
And now Israel, what does Yehovah your God (Elohim) require of you, but to fear Yehovah your God (Elohim), to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and serve Yehovah your God (Elohim), with all your heart and with all your soul,
and to keep the commandments of Yehovah and His statutes which I (Moses)command you today for your good?
Indeed, heaven and the highest heavens belong to Yehovah your God (Elohim), also the earth and all that is in it.
