ZERUBBABEL (Zec 4)(Hag 2) was ONE - Could it mean TWO - Verses?
(Zec 4:1) And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me,
as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
(Zec 4:2) And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have
looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top
of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven
lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
(Zec 4:3) And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the
bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
(Zec 4:4) So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me,
saying, What are these, my lord?
(Zec 4:5) Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto
me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
(Zec 4:6) Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the
word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power,
but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
(Zec 4:7) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou
shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof
with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
(Zec 4:8) Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(Zec 4:9) The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this
house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the
LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
(Zec 4:10) For who hath despised the day of small things? for they
shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel
with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro
through the whole earth.
(Zec 4:11) Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two
olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left
side thereof?
(Zec 4:12) And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two
olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil
out of themselves?
(Zec 4:13) And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these
be? And I said, No, my lord.
(Zec 4:14) Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand
by the Lord of the whole earth.
ZERUBBABEL - will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee,
saith the LORD of hosts.
Sounds like ONE - but is it TWO???
(Hag 2:2) Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of
Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the
residue of the people, saying,
(Hag 2:3) Who is left among you that saw this house in her first
glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison
of it as nothing?
(Hag 2:4) Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be
strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all
ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you,
saith the LORD of hosts:
(Hag 2:5) According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye
came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
(Hag 2:6) For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little
while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and
the dry land;
(Hag 2:7) And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of
hosts.
(Hag 2:8) The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
(Hag 2:9) The glory of this LATTER HOUSE SHALL BE GREATER THAN OF THE
FORMER, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace,
saith the LORD of hosts.
(Hag 2:10) In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the
second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the
prophet, saying,
(Hag 2:11) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests
concerning the law, saying,
(Hag 2:12) If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and
with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any
meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
(Hag 2:13) Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body
touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and
said, It shall be unclean.
(Hag 2:14) Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so
is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of
their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
(Hag 2:15) And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward,
from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
(Hag 2:16) Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty
measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to
draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
(Hag 2:17) I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in
all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the
LORD.
(Hag 2:18) Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and
twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the
foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it.
(Hag 2:19) Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the
fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought
forth: from this day will I bless you.
(Hag 2:20) And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the
four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
(Hag 2:21) Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will
shake the heavens and the earth;
(Hag 2:22) And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will
destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will
overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses
and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his
brother.
(Hag 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.
