This book was first published in 1905, with 129 pages, by Pacific Press Publishing Company, Mountain View, California. Its emphasis is on the Scriptures' presentation of the three offices of Christ as prophet, priest, and king."Of Him as prophet it was written in the days of Moses: 'I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My words in His mouth; and He shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which He shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.' Deut. 18:18,19. And this thought was continued in the succeeding scriptures until His coming. "Of Him as priest it was written in the days of David: 'Yet have I set ['anointed, ' margin] My King upon My holy hill of Zion.' Ps. 2:6. And this thought, likewise, was continued in all the scriptures afterward unto His coming, after His coming, and unto the end of the Book. "Thus the Scriptures abundantly present Him in the three offices of prophet, priest, and king. {4}"This threefold truth is generally recognized by all who have acquaintance with the Scriptures, but above this there is the truth which seems to be not so well known-that He is not all three of these at the same time. The three offices are successive. He is prophet first, then after that He is priest, and after that He is king. . . ."Not only are His three offices of prophet, priest, and king successive, but they are successive for a purpose. And they are successive for a purpose in the exact order of the succession as given-prophet, {8} priest, and king. His office as prophet was preparatory and essential to His office as priest; and His offices of prophet and priest, in order, are preparatory to His office as king. "And to us the consideration of Him in these offices in their order is essential. "We must consider Him in His office as prophet, not only in order that we may be taught by Him who spake as never man spake, but also that we shall be able properly to consider Him in His office as priest. "And we must consider Him in His office as priest, not only that we may have the infinite benefit of His priesthood, but also that we shall be prepared for what we are to be. For it is written: 'They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.' Rev. 20:6. "And having considered Him in His office of prophet as preparatory to our properly considering Him in His office as priest, it is essential that we consider Him in His office as priest in order that we shall be able to consider Him in His office as king; that is, in order that we shall be with Him there and reign with Him there. For even of us it is written: 'The saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever, ' and 'they shall reign forever and ever.' Dan. 7:18; Rev. 22:5. "His priesthood being the present office and work of Christ, this having been His office and work ever since His ascension to heaven, Christ in His priesthood is the all-important study for all Christians, as well as for all other people."
