Zerubbabel, as God’s signet ring, represents the house of David and the resumption of the messianic line interrupted by the Exile. Zerubbabel reestablished the Davidic line of kings which would culminate in the millennial reign of Christ. Zerubbabel appears in the line of Christ on both Joseph’s side (Matt. 1:12) and Mary’s side (Luke 3:27).
Bilang singsing na may selyo ng Diyos,kinakatawan ni Zorobabel ang tahanan ni David at ang pagpapanumbalik ng mesyanik na lahi na naputol dahil sa pagkakatapon nila sa Babilonia. Pinanumbalik ni Zorobabel ang mga lahing hari ni David na hahantong sa magpakailanmang paghahari ni Kristo. Lumitaw si Zorobabel sa parehong panig ng lahi ni Kristo, sa panig ni Jose (Mateo 1:12) at ni Maria (Lukas 3:27).
