 Jim:

 I wonder if Lloyd means the Joshua associated with Zerubbabel in
 Zechariah chapters 3 and 4, and Haggai?  (I ask this without having
 surfed Lloyd's website). Joshua was crowned (TsaNiYPh), Zech 3:5, not
 Zerubbabel. Whatever happened to Zerubbabel?  Was he executed for high
 treason, for crowning Joshua as a Davidic king (the Branch, TseMaC)?

 Shalom,
 Ben
