The Old Testament predicted that one would come who would be the epitome of what then existed in a partial or incomplete way.  Specifically, the Old Testament had many prophets, but there was to be a final one (Dt.18:18); it knew many priests, but there would be a final one (Ps. 110:4; Zech. 6:13); there were many kings, but there would be a final, messianic figure who would hold that office (Ps. 2:6; Is. 9:7).  At least Ps. 110:4 and Zech. 6:13 show that the same person would hold more than one of these offices.

While controversy over the relation of natures in the person of Christ marked the late ancient and early medieval church, we do not get off the hook as easily as we might wish.  The question of the relation of the natures in Christ bedevils several theological questions still, though the alternatives are now clearer.
