oops that link goes to some higher world ;.) 'The three offices in which Christ functions for our salvation were foreshadowed in the Old Testament, where the "three major offices among the people of Israel ... [were] the prophet (such as Nathan, 2 Sam. 7:2), the priest (such as Abiathar, 1 Sam. 30:7), and the king (such as King David, 2 Samuel 5:3). These three offices were distinct. The prophet spoke God's words to the people; the priest offered sacrifices, prayers, and praises to God on behalf of the people; and the king ruled over the people as God's representative."[1] While the three offices were each exercised by a different person in the OT, all three offices are united in the one Person of Christ. so in a nutshell...prophet/priest/king
