Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet

20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, agovernor of Judah, saying:
b‘I will shake heaven and earth. 
22 aI will overthrow the throne of kingdoms;
I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms.
bI will overthrow the chariots
And those who ride in them;
The horses and their riders shall come down,
Every one by the sword of his brother.  
23 ‘In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the Lord, a‘and will make you like a signet ring; for bI have chosen you,’ says the Lord of hosts.”

Haggai 2:19

Is the seed yet in the barn?—implying, It is not. It has been already sown this month, and there are no more signs of its bearing a good crop, much less of its being safely stored in the barn, than there were in the past season, when there was such a failure; yet I promise to you from this day (emphatically marking by the repetition the connection of the blessing with the day of their obedience) a blessing in an abundant harvest. So also the vine, etc., which heretofore have borne little or nothing, shall be blessed with productiveness. Thus it will be made evident that the blessing is due to Me, not to nature. We may trust God's promise to bless us, though we see no visible sign of its fulfilment (Habakkuk 2:3).
