comparing time without date swift3

I am using an API to get a list of times which is five times a day as string in (AM,PM) format without date,

("4:30 AM","1:00 PM","3:20: PM","6:40 PM","9:10 PM")

what I am trying to do is to show the next time in the screen depends on the current time on the iPhone

so if the time now is 5:00 PM the time should display on the screen is 6:40 PM

how can I compare times in swift without including the dates because I tried to convert the list of times I have to Date type but unfortunately am getting dates and the dates shows in 2001 so even if I try to compare the date would give me wrong result

 print(self._praytime.arraytime)




            for Dates in self._praytime.arraytime {
                let dateformatters = DateFormatter()
                dateformatters.dateStyle = .none
                dateformatters.timeStyle = .short
                let xxbbs = dateformatters.date(from: Dates)
                print(xxbbs!)
            }

after I got the times I put it in Array and I tried to execute the code upper so I can get the times without the date but what shows in the output screen was this

Optional(2000-01-01 11:14:00 +0000)
Optional(2000-01-01 20:06:00 +0000)
Optional(1999-12-31 23:57:00 +0000)
Optional(2000-01-01 03:11:00 +0000)
Optional(2000-01-01 04:41:00 +0000)

any idea how to solve this problem and if is there any other easy way to do this task I'm exciting to hear it

thank you all

Suggestion using DateComponents

Assuming this given array

let times = ["4:30 AM","1:00 PM","3:20 PM","6:40 PM","9:10 PM"]

Create a date formatter matching the format

let formatter = DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = "h:mm a"

Map the time strings to Date and immediately to DateComponents considering only hour and minute

let dateArray = times.map { Calendar.current.dateComponents([.hour, .minute], from:formatter.date(from:$0)!) }

Map this array to the next date from now matching the components respectively

let upcomingDates = dateArray.map { Calendar.current.nextDate(after: Date(), matching: $0, matchingPolicy: .nextTime)!  }

Sort the array ascending, the first item is the date you are looking for
```
let nextDate = upcomingDates.sorted().first!
```
Use the formatter to convert the date back to a time string
```
print(formatter.string(from:nextDate))
```
