Dispensations
The six dispensations of human history can be seen along the following lines:
Age of the Gentile. From the creation of Adam until the Exodus of Israel from Egypt, roughly 1441 B.C.
Age of Israel. From the Exodus until around 4, possibly 5 B.C.
Hypostatic Union. The first Advent of Christ, lasting until A.D. 30, the capstone culminating with the ascension of Christ to the right hand of God.
Church Age. From Pentecost forward, describing the current administration of God toward man. Very, very cool.
Tribulation. Initiating with the Rapture of the Church and lasting until ushering in of the Millennium. Dates unknown.
Millennium. The Thousand-Year Reign of Christ, the "Your will be done" portion of man's history, just prior to the Last Judgment, destruction of the current universe, as well as creation of the New Jerusalem.
