Eph 1:10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
The all things pertains to the Chosen of God, the Body or Church of Christ, we have them termed as things here 1 Cor 1:27-29
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Notice also that these things are to be gathered together in One in Christ, He as their One Head. Its just like the Sheep He is to gather Jn 10:16
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
The word bring is another way of saying to gather to oneself.
Then we have the gathering of the Children of God Jn 11:52
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
Now Jn 11:52,10:16 and Eph 1:10 are all teaching the very same thing, the gathering together of the Elect of God in the Headship of Christ !
