Wow!  If that’s not enough prophecies!  But also note what’s said about Zerubbabel:

“I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.

 “‘On that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”  Haggai 2:22-23

“Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep.  He asked me, “What do you see?”  I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps.  Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”  I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”  He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”  “No, my lord,” I replied.  So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.  “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”  Then the word of the Lord came to me: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.  “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”  Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”  Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”  He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”  “No, my lord,” I said.  So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”  Zechariah 4:1-14

Zerubbabel will be intimately involved with the revealing of the Messiah and his temple as well.
