About This Book

The author outlines a threefold understanding of Christ's activity as past, present, and future, corresponding to his offices as prophet, priest and king: past atoning incarnation, present mediatorial reign in heaven sustaining creation, angels, and sanctifying the church, and future return to consummate the kingdom and present a glorified people. The essay applies this scheme to the church, Israel, creation, and spiritual conflict with Satan. It also critiques contemporary movements that deny a literal bodily resurrection and heavenly presence, and emphasizes the scriptural basis for Christ's continued intercession and sovereign oversight of the universe.
