The word "Dispensation" can be used in a couple of ways in the Bible. In 1 Corinthians 9:17, Paul speaks about "a dispensation of the Gospel" that was committed to him: referring to the Gospel that was committed to him needed to be dispensed, shared or distributed.
Then, in Ephesians 1:10, "in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ": speaks of a Divine arrangement or ordering of affairs. To this meaning of 'dispensation' as also to others who refer to the various dispensations revealed in the Bible, there is clearly a plan & an order given by God, that the Body of Christ would constitute people from all lands (both Jew & Gentile). Since, this had already happened by virtue of Christ's Sacrifice & Resurrection, I think that Paul is referring to the future time, when the Church & all things 'in Christ' (all that belong to Him), will one day come together in unison to sing out to His Praise & Glory.
