THE REAL ZERUBBABEL
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house,
his hands shall also finish it Zec 4:9. Zerubbabel built the temple of God
shortly before the coming of Messiah. God left the physical temple
on the Feast of Harvest after the resurrection of Messiah to dwell in the flesh
of His people Acts 2, 2 Cor 6:16, and Eph 2:21 who are now His true temple.
The body of believers, the church, is now the temple of God. Could
Zerubbabel, the builder of a physical temple, be a type of some builder of the
spiritual temple?
And are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being the chief corner stone Eph 2:20. I ask you: Who sent all of
the apostles and prophets? Were they sent by some man, or were they sent
by God and His Christ? The answer is clear, no man living in the twentieth
century sent the ancient prophets and apostles! If Zerubbabel is a type of any
builder, he is a type of the MASTER BUILDER, JESUS CHRIST! While Christ
does use men as His tools and He also uses the seven eyes or spirits to assist
Him Zec 4:10 and Rev 1:20, It is not by men's might or power but by the
spirit of God Zec 4:6 that the temple of God will be completed. REST
ASSURED and REJOICE, for we have God's own promise that He will pick up
His tools and complete His spiritual temple Zec 4:9-10, Isaiah
66:5-24. The spiritual temple is not limited to one man's lifetime but is
composed of all the firstfruits of God, called through all of man's history. Indeed,
the building process has been going on for thousands of years.
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone (building stone, cornerstone)
thereof with shoutings, crying, grace, grace unto it Zec 4:7. That
great mountain is Babylon Jer 51:25, which is to be destroyed by a great stone
from God Dan 2:35. That stone will be made the chief corner stone of God's
kingdom for that stone is Christ Eph 2:20. Will some man destroy Babylon
or will she be destroyed by Christ?
You judge whether Zerubbabel was a type of some mere mortal or whether he was a
type of the Master Builder, Jesus Christ.
