The wedding ring and the signet ring.
The Wedding ring of the bridegroom to His betrothed, His beloved, His bride; becomes a signet ring on her finger.
The wedding ring symbolizes no beginning and no end. For there is no beginning or end to the deity and diadem of Christ. A diadem is in simple terms a crown that is encrusted with jewels. It looks similar to a Wedding ring. An unbroken band of gold.
A signet ring is similar in that it symbolizes the power of the one who wears it to release or seal edicts, rulings and laws.
Ancient kings used signet rings to designate authority, honor, or ownership. A signet contained an emblem unique to the king. Official documents were sealed with a dollop of soft wax impressed with the king’s signet, usually kept on a ring on his finger. Such a seal certified the document as genuine, much like a notary public’s stamp today.
Example: Revelation 5:2 And I saw a mighty Angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
We know that the answer to that question is Jesus. Rev.5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
The Lord brought me to the book of Haggai. To Zerubbabel.
Zerubbabel is the governor of the rebuilt Jerusalem and is himself of royal blood, being a descendant of David.
In Haggai’s prophecy, God is giving Zerubbabel encouragement and hope. The governor is “chosen” for a unique and noble purpose. As God’s signet ring, Zerubbabel is given a place of honor and authority. God is reinstating the Davidic line and renewing His covenant with David. Judah still has a future as they look forward to the coming Son of David, the Messiah, who would one day “overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms” Haggai 2:22.
MY SERVANT – MY SIGNET- MY SON:
Zerubbabel is also called “my servant.” This title was often a Messianic reference in the Old Testament: 2 Samuel 3:18; 1 Kings 11:34; Isaiah 42:1-9;53:12; Ezekiel 34:23-24; 37:24-25. The three represent; servant, son, and signet ring, and creates a special combination of encouragement given to few in Scripture. Zerubbabel was an important leader involved in the reconstruction of the Jewish temple. As God’s “signet ring,” Zerubbabel becomes a picture of the future Messiah, Jesus Christ, who will establish His people in the Promised Land, construct an even grander temple (Zechariah 6:12-13), and lead the righteous in never-ending worship.
Psalm 49:9 Daughters of Kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of [Ophir.] 1 kings 10:22.
Jesus' true followers worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth. John 4:24 – because our innermost man, [our spirit] is eternal.
We are His holy ambassadors. Called to release into the earth realm His Kingdom.
Here is what I heard Him, who sits on the throne say to His beloved:
Yes, I will bring my beloved bride her gifts of splendor at the wedding feast of the bridegroom! For, on that day she will be as one Holy nation under her King.
I AM her King. Her eternal love. And she shall worship me in spirit and in truth as I endow her with crowns of splendor and royal jewels of anointing, and rings of my Everlasting Kingdom, that have my mark upon them as a wedding ring and a signet, which is of her inheritance from my Everlasting Kingdom which will never end and has been from everlasting to everlasting.
FEAR NOT!
Fear not, I have given you this authority even now! Have I not told you that you would trod upon the serpent and scorpion and not be harmed? Even so, your flesh is not seated with me yet. Your mind will and emotions are still in their carnal form. But I tell you the truth, that your Spirit is already seated with me in heaven.
So carry out my Kingdom in the here and now without fear of harm to your flesh. You are yet flesh and bone, but as I have already stated your spirit is eternal and is already seated in my courts. So pray with power in the spirit and command the gates of hell to be pushed back. Show my enemies your proof of inheritance. My signet ring. My spirit has already marked you as mine. And my blood is the wax that holds my mark upon you.
Now go! Spread my kingdom. For where my spirit is there is freedom.
Remember I came to set the captives free! You have the same power in the Spirit of Truth! He is my deposit in you, that you are in Me. You are My bride forever sealed for My kingdom and I have given you authority to set the captives free! What are you waiting for?
Freely I have given to you the keys of the Kingdom. Freely give unto others this same hope!
Now Go!
Amen! HALLELUJAH!! Thank you Great and awesome God! You are great, and greatly to be praised!
With love for My King, In His Name and by His Royalty,
