Ephesians 1981-82 Corps Teachings. Lesson 7 Part 1: Ephesians 1:10-23 EPHESIANS 1:10-23 November 13, 1981 Now tonight we’ve got to go to Ephesians chapter 1 and we begin with verse 10. The King James reads: Ephesians 1:10 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: The word “dispensation” is the word oikonomia. And I ought to say to you that if you’re in The Corps, the teaching on Ephesians last year should be listened to, because I’m by-passing a lot of the things that I’ve taught last year and just coming up with more or less some detail and then the…the a…the a…translations, first of all, according to usage and then an expanded one simply to the best of my ability, but I know you here at Emporia were given an outline and material on what was taught last year, and I’m grateful for the people who do that for you. But if you’ve got enough drive within yourself, you’ll listen to those things and you put it in your heart and mind. You see, the greatness of Ephesians is just fantastic, so it’s up to you. If you want it, it’s available. You just go get it. Because all you have to do is listen to last year and do a little bit that I’m sharing this year and you can put together the great Book of Ephesians for yourself. The word “administration” is the word ika…oikonomia; and I’ve taught you that many times. It comes from the word oikos (o-i-k-o-s) meaning house and nomos (n-o-m-o-s) meaning a rule or the order that’s conducted within that house. And here in Ephesians it refers to the way in which God will administer a period called the fullness of time administration. That word “fullness” is the word plēroō, Corps; not filled to overflowing, but filled to capacity. And the word “times” puts it within the framework of a limited period of time. It is a…an appointed time, and it’s that word is in opposition to the word chronos (c-h-r-o-n…), the Greek word
