Zecharia 4
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
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.
Zerubbabel is a Messiah-like king (or govenor) in Haggai and Zecharia. And, it is not easy to fit this great king into the New Testament message. It's not easy for me anyway.
I did have a thought though. If it wasn't for Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah and Joshua, the high priest, if it wasn't for these men who built a strong foundation for the Jewish religion, then, the story of Christ would make little sense. The book of Romans would make little sense. There would be no Masoretic texts.
