START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Haggai 2:23
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
LIKE MY SIGNET RING / HAGGAI 2:23
When the time came for God to shake the heavens and the earth, He would make Zerubbabel kike a signet ring. Such a ring could be used to stamp an official seal – like a signature – or given as a pledge or guarantee of a promise. This “ring” signified the official mark of God’ supreme authority and a pledge of favor toward God’s people. In addition, it likely represented a guarantee of God’s promise to send a final ruler who would emerge victorious when God overturned thrones and shattered earthly kingdoms (Haggai 2:22). This was Haggai’s prophecy about Jesus Christ, a descendant of Zerubbabel (Matthew 1:12-13). “On that day,” Jesus will be the supreme ruler with absolute authority over everything.
Zerubbabel’s importance in relation to Christ is further revealed in the two New Testament genealogies, or family histories, of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:12-13; Luke 3:27). Zerubbabel is the center that ties both branches of Jesus Christ’s “family tree” together: form Solomon (son of King David) to Zerubbabel to Joseph (Jesus’ earthly father), and from Nathan (son of King David) to Zerubbabel to Mary (Jesus’ mother).
