Zerubbabel was directed to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, after the Israelites were freed from Babylon. The work was full of struggles and challenges, but God encouraged them. Zerubbabel is a “type” (image, foreshadowing) of Christ and rebuilding of the Temple was a “type” of the one Christ will build. Christians can apply the lessons taught here when considering God’s present habitation in the Body of Christ.
