The Lord Compares Zerubbabel to His Royal Ring

²⁰ A final message from the Lord came to Haggai. This message also came on the 24th day of the ninth month. The Lord said, ²¹ “Speak to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah. Tell him I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. ²² I will throw down royal thrones. I will smash the power of other kingdoms. I will destroy chariots and their drivers. Horses and their riders will fall. They will be killed by the swords of their relatives.
