any body out there know what this is about Eph. 1: 10&11?

Question

what does it mean fullness in time and dispensation

Answer 1

It is talking about the end of the gentile age and the return of Christ.

Ephesians 1: 9-12
9 he has made known to us the mystery 5 of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him
10 as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
11 In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the one who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
12 so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped 6 in Christ.

Answer 2

1:10 -
And this is his plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ – everything in heaven and on earth

1:11 -
Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago.

Or we have become God's inheritance as Gentiles, meaning not Jewish, who are God's chosen people. It's saying God has adopted us as His people even though His plan was that the Jew would accept Jesus as Messiah.

I hope this helps....

Answer 4

"Fulness of time" is a figure of speech meaning "at a time known to God".

"Dispensation" in the broadest sense, means "the Church".

Answer 5

3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he[c] predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9And he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
11In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

Answer 6

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 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: 11 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: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

The Bible teaches that the law was our school master keeping people in line to some extent while showing them their need for a Savior. At just the right time Jesus came to make a living way for us to be made acceptable in God's sight apart from the law that no one could perfectly keep. The fullness of time refers to the time appointed by God for his Son to arrive and to fulfill the mission that his Father had given to Him. Dispensation refers to the previous covenant of law being superceded by the new covenant of grace.

John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
