"...an administration at the full limit of the appointed times".
(Ephesians 1:10 NWT).

"...house administration of the fullness of the appointed times".
(Ephesians 1:10 Greek Interlinear Translation).

"...in the fullness of the ages that all things in heaven and earth alike
should be gathered up in Christ". (Ephesians 1:10 Moffatt Translation).

"He has made known to us His hidden purpose such was His will and pleasure determined beforehand in Christ to be put into effect when the time was ripe: namely, that the universe, all in heaven and on earth, might be brought into a UNITY in Christ." (Ephesians 1:9,10 New English Bible).

BRINGING SONS OF GOD INTO A UNITY IN CHRIST.
"The fullness" or "full limit" of the "appointed times" of God means at the end of those "times". (Appoint: To fix time, or place, for a purpose). The "appointed times" of God are recorded in many scriptures.

(See Daniel 7:25. 8:13,14. 12:4. 12:7. 12:11. Revelation 11:1-3. 11:9-11. 12:6. 12:14. 13:5-7).

For 3½ of those "times" (years) Almighty God allowed the authority of His anointed sons in congregations of JWs to be usurped by unsealed men of the "disgusting thing". (Matt 24:15). The "appointed times" of God did not end in 1914CE as erroneously publicized by JWs, nor will unity in Christ have 'accomplished its purpose' in the manner described in the JW book 'Aid to Bible Understanding'. (Pg.1005).

Almighty God will be "all things to everyone" when "all things will have been subjected" through His Son Christ Jesus. (1 Cor 15:27,28). The "all things" are all spirits in heaven and on earth that can be subjected to God. People on earth will be gathered by the "Way" to everlasting life made known by Holy Spirit through the anointed congregation of God. (1 Cor 6:19. Eph 3:10). This anointed congregation totalling 144,000 holy ones is the "body" of Christ. (1 Cor 12:12,13). The "other sheep" not of this fold that he must also bring are gathered through this anointed congregation and "brought into a unity in Christ." (John 10:16). The sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses have appropriated the word "administration" (NWT) in the erroneous belief that their organization is The Christ's "house administration". But only after the appointed 3 ½ "times" (years) have been completed can faithful anointed members of Christ's "body" be considered in unity with Christ. The Moffatt Translation of Ephesians 1:12 and 1:14 uses the word "redound", which means 'to reflect back as a consequence', "and so redound to the praise of His glory".

That this "house administration" is at "the fullness of the appointed times" means it had not yet begun at the time of the apostle Paul. (Eph 1:10 Greek T). As to the superfluous gloss added in the New World Translation, "to gather all things together again in the Christ", the word 'again' does not exist in the Greek Interlinear Translation. When the gathering of faithful anointed brothers of The Christ has been completed, and the dominion of satan and his people who stood in their holy place during the designated 3½ year period is destroyed, then the heavenly Kingdom of the 144,000 priests of God will begin their thousand year reign. (Rev 5:10 & 20:4).

There is no evidence in the Word of God that the 2,300 evenings and mornings of Daniel 8:14 were fulfilled over 56 years ago as claimed by the sect of JWs. At the time of writing, unsealed JW 'elders' are still exercising authority in the spiritual "land" of God as members of the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy place". No other sect in Christendom has usurped Christ's anointed brothers or stood in their holy place, except JWs.

"Unity in Christ" is first between The Christ Michael and his anointed brothers. As underpriests of God they will administer the propitiatory covering of sins until such time as God is "all things to everyone". When "we all attain to the oneness in the faith and in the accurate knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of stature that belongs to the fullness of The Christ", we will no longer need Christ's sacrificial covering of our sinless spirits. (Eph 4:13). Anointed members of His government are gathered by God (not by a fabricated JW 'administration' on earth) and will be used by Him to gather all in heaven and on earth into a UNITY in Christ in complete subjection to God.
