ZERUBBABEL A TYPE OF CHRIST
I. ZERUBBABEL is called the elect of God, Hag 2:23. So is Jesus Christ, "Behold my servant, mine elect," &c.
II. The Lord promised to make him a signet, signifying thereby that his dignity and glory should be most excellent, which is only accomplished in Christ.
III. He was appointed to raise up the temple of David; it was promised that he should lay the foundation, and finish it, &c. So was Jesus Christ appointed to build up and restore the spiritual temple and tabernacle of David; he lays the foundation, and he finishes it by his Spirit, &c.
