14) The Father exhibited and gave Christ, who is the head of all the elect to the world, at that time which was convenient according as he most wisely disposed all times from everlasting (emphasis added). And Christ is he in whom all the elect from the beginning of the world (otherwise wandering and separated from God) are gathered together. And some of these elect were in heaven, when he came into the earth, that is, those who by faith in him to come, were gathered together. And others being found upon the earth were gathered together by him, and the rest are daily gathered together.

So what are you claiming that the notes are saying to support the dispensational theory? To me this is only speaking of one time, that is the continuum of time "from everlasting".

The note says times not time.

Clearly, it is speaking of different periods of time that culminates in final in-gathering of the saints.

The note is speaking of past, present and future saints, not just present ones, as your post seem to indicate.

And Dispensationists would not disagree that there is only 'one' time, one Plan of God, but only that within that period of time, God works different ways.

And that view is what the note would seem to support.
