“It is according to [God’s] good pleasure which he purposed in himself for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth,” explained Paul. (Ephesians 1:9, 10) What is this “administration”?
The term is translated from the Greek word oi·ko·no·mi′a, which basically means “the management of a household.” Thus, even though mankind is divided politically, racially, economically, and religiously, God has purposed to eliminate all these divisive forces and to bring all obedient mankind together again as a happy family earth wide. How will he do this? He will accomplish it through the Messianic Kingdom in the hands of his Son, Jesus Christ.—See Daniel 2:44; Isaiah 9:6, 7.
Today, amid global tension and problems, millions of people around the world have responded to the Bible’s message and have come forth as that unnumbered “great crowd” described in the book of Revelation. Symbolically, they are already waving palm branches before God’s throne, offering their praise and submission to the one “who is seated on the throne,” Jehovah God, “and to the Lamb,” Jesus Christ.—Revelation 7:9, 10.

Mormons believe they are living in the fulness of times, but as when I was a mormon, I was full of depression and grief, thats all the church was to me, I had to leave to find any kind of happiness. Has for the dispensation, the dispensation is a concept that was copied from england, a thousand years, starting from adam, each lasting a thousand years, christians have the same idea, that the earth is a thousand years old, you mormons should catch some wind of creation science, instead of spending so much time trying to prove the science of the book of mormon, you might learn something. www.creationscience.com

. . . for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times. (Doctrine and Covenants 128:18)
I am aware of the concept, I just do not believe it personally.

Sorry, I actually am a Mormon. But if I wasn't, I probably wouldn't know much about those two terms. Pretty much everything I can say about it comes from my Mormon docterine! :)
