You Are Crucial To God

You are significant to the purposes of God!
The Old Testament book of Haggai God is saying to us “make my kingdom your priority.”
The work of your hands may seem menial, but you play your part in working with Jesus to build His kingdom!
The final prophetic message through Haggai was for Zerubbabel. He is the governor, but he should have been king.

The last King of Judah was was Jehoikim, and the the Babylonian Empire had crushed he and Judah and carried them off into exile.

Jehoikim is Zerubbabel’s grandfather!
Zerubbabel was supposed to inherit a kingdom rather than a pile of rubble!
To make things even worse, his name – Zerubbabel – means offspring of Babylon!
But God is not done.

God gives Zerubbabel a glimpse of what is to come. Zerubbabel gets a glimpse of the finality of all things.
He is told of a battle to end battles, a great shaking,  and unleashing of evil… 
Then Jesus comes like a thief in the night, and everything changes!
God tells Zerubbabel that on that day “my servant will be my signet ring!”  Zerubbabel is a symbol of God’s authority!
King Jehoikim is an evil man who promotes idolatry, so God tears the ring off His finger. Jehoikim is finished.
But God says “Zerubbabel, the ring will come back to you!”

In the Gospel genealogies Zerubbabel is the link in both the line of Joseph and Mary.Through him the world will know the Messiah!
He is assured that the Messiah is going to walk into this temple you are building from rubble! 
A New Covenant will be authorized and empowered by the Holy Spirit and all the world will benefit from this new day!

Your story, your message, your life is absolutely significant to the purposes of God.
