Are there not many principles taught and doctrines established in to OT "dispensation" that still apply today? There is certainly a dividing line where specific actions ended which in their doing foretold of later-revealed truths (such as animal sacrifices), but I think that too much parsing takes place.
Jerry, your example of the ark doesn't fit. God's instruction to an individual should qualify as a dispensation. Incidentally, how many dispensations were in the OT era? How were they defined? Based on the definition given, there must have been many.
