Read Haggai 2.20-3. In 2.20-23: The promise to Zerubbabel. The focus shifts from the reconstruction of the Temple to the installation of Zerubbabel as Judah's leader In verses 21-22: Descriptions of Judah's restoration are often accompanied by references to the conquest of other nations. (Joel 3), While Zerubbabel is only a governor of Judah (1.1; 2.21) under Persian authority, he is a member of the Davidic family that had ruled Jerusalem (see comment on 1.1), and Haggai me be announcing a greater role for him. Both my servant (2 Sam 7.5) and signet ring (Jer 22.24) maybe royal images anticipating a revival of the Davidic dynasty. Comments or Questions..
