The Book of Zerubbabel

Anonymous

Written as Persians and Byzantines fought over Jerusalem. Zerubbabel is shown the end: a Messiah son of Joseph who dies in battle, a Messiah son of David who does not, Hephzibah the mother of the Messiah fighting with a staff, and Armilus, a monster begotten on a stone statue, whom the nations worship.
