“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:”
To be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment — to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ — the anakephalaiōsis (recapitulation, literally 'to make Christ the head of all') is the cosmic purpose, the unification of all creation under Christ as kephalē ('head'); Paul uses the language of cosmic gathering, summation, and reordering around the incarnate Christ.
