20. Another message from the Lord came to Haggai on the 24th day of the month. This is the message:
21. “Go to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah and tell him that I will shake heaven and earth.
22. And I will overthrow many kings and kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of those other people. I will destroy their chariots and their riders. I will defeat their war horses and riders. These armies are friends now, but they will turn against each other and kill each other with swords.”
23. This is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant, I have chosen you. I, the Lord, tell you that at that time I will use you like a signet ring to represent my authority!” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.
