You are right about Noah and the ark - that is not the same thing. I meant to take that out of there. A dispensation contains instructions for that time period for everyone (or specifically for God's people) in that time period. Example, we are no longer under the Law (ie. bound to keep all of it as a unit). There are various aspects of it that are fulfilled and done away with. Though there are certainly principles and parts of it that still apply - and that overlap the church age, which is the dispensation we are currently in. There are things that God is doing now, and ways He expects His people to live now, that were not so in prior dispensations.
