MAN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD  STARTS WITH THE DISPENSATION OF INNOCENCE.  See Colossians 1:25 for oikonomian. oikonomian In Galatians 4:4 "the fulness of the time" (to plhrwma tou cronou) the time before Christ is treated as a unit, here as a series of epochs (kairwn). Cf. Mark 1:15; Hebrews 1:1. On plhrwma see also Romans 11:26; Ephesians 3:19; Ephesians 4:13. To sum up (anakepalaiwsasqai).

In N.T. only here and Romans 13:9. For the headship of Christ in nature and grace see Colossians 1:15-20.
