On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you. (Haggai 2:23). This messianic prophecy points to Zerubbabel as an ancestor of Jesus Christ, restoring the Davidic line that had been "removed" like a signet ring under Jeconiah (Jeremiah 22:24).
