- Samuel Dale
EPHESIANS 1:7-12
In whom we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath
abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the
mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in
himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of
times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in
heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him: In whom also we have obtained an
inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That
we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

163 You believe in dispensations? Bible said
so, "In the dispensation of the fulness of
time..." What is the fulness of time? There's
been a dispensation of, well, there was a dispensation
of the Mosaic law. There was a dispensation of--of--of John the Baptist. There
was a dispensation of Christ. There's a dispensation of church organization.
There's dispensation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now's the
dispensation of adoption, what the world's waiting, groaning. "And when the fulness of time comes, when the dispensation of the fulness of time..." What is that fulness
of time? When the dead rises, when sickness ceases,
when--when all the earth ceases to groan. "The fulness
of the dispensation of time..." Watch this.
When in the dispensation of the fulness
of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ,...
Aren't you glad? How is He going to do it? Gather together all
things in Who? [Congregation says,
"Christ"--Ed.] How do you get in Christ? ["By
one Spirit"--Ed.] By one Spirit we're all baptized into ["One
Body'--Ed.] one Body. And that Body is Who's Body?
["Christ's"--Ed.] Already judged, He took our judgment. Then what are
we? "When I see the ["Blood"--Ed.]
Blood, I'll pass over you." Every time He looks at the Body, there It is setting there, bloody. I'm in there by how? The Holy Ghost. He passes over. Oh, my.
And when the fulness of the dispensation
of time, that he might gather together... all things in Christ, both which are
in heaven...
