The concept of dispensations can include the arrangement of divisions in Biblical history, and periods of time when God gave or restored priesthood authority to men and women on the Earth. The Visions and Parables of Zenos break these times into eight dispensations:
1. Adam and Eve
2. Enoch and Aadani, Yydnah, and Ydris
3. Noah and Na’amah
4. Melchizedek and his wife (wives?)
5. Moses and Zophorah, and Moses' sister Miriam
6. John the Baptist and Mary Magdalene (wife of Jesus)
7. Joseph Smith Jr. and Emma Smith
8. The eternal reign of Jesus Christ (the eighth day of creation)
