He was giving the persian name Sheshbazzar might indicate that he was in the service of the king during the captivity. Zerubbabel was giving the authorization by Cyrus to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, This responsibility of leadership was giving to Zerubbabel.

Ezra 3:1-2
"*They kept the all that was written in the Law of Moses the man of God . They even had opposition but it did not stop them from working and doing the will of God.
They were able to complete and after that dedicated it to the Lord with prophets stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel to resume work of rebuilding the temple and even concerning a greater Temple.
Moreover, the Lord who rules over all says;
"In just a little while i will once again shake the sky and the earth, the sea and the dry ground. I will also shake up all the nations and they will offer their treasures, then i will fill this Temple with glory. Says the LORD who rules over all"
This in the book of Hebrews 12:26-27,Paul quoted from Haggai 2:6 and applies it to the great time of trouble which prepares the world for Christ Kingdom.
This house in the book of Haggai said; "The Lord will fill with his glory in the typical Temple of Christ and his Church in glory".
The Church is now the place where the Lord will fill. When i say the Church i mean the universal Church, the body which Jesus is the head.
Now the glory is not in the building but in the body. So when he comes into the world, he said;
sacrifice an offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Heb. 10:5
Our body have been prepared for Him. We are the house of the Lord of God as we know that in the Temple was the fillness of the Glory of God so in you is his fillness of his Glory .
We are the please of his Glory.
