Zerubbabel
Zerubbabel was a Babylonian Jew who returned with Joshua to Jerusalem from the seventy-year exile. He became governor of Judaea and laid the foundation for the Second Temple. As a descendant of the royal line of the House of David, Zerubbabel re-kindled Jewish messianic hopes. Dictionaries define his name as 'the seed of Babylon'.

Zerubbabel was chosen as governor of Judah by Cyrus because he was a member of the Davidic line, making him a suitable leader for the Jewish people during their return from Babylonian exile. Cyrus, recognizing the importance of restoring the Jewish community and their temple in Jerusalem, viewed Zerubbabel as a key figure to help re-establish their identity and governance. His appointment was part of Cyrus's broader policy of promoting local leaders to facilitate the rebuilding of conquered nations. Additionally, Zerubbabel's leadership was essential for rallying the Jewish people around the restoration of their homeland.
No, Zerubbabel led the first group.
Zerubbabel was the head of the tribe of Judah during the time of the return from the Babylon exile. With the blessing of Cyrus of Persia (Ezra 1:1-2), Zerubbabel and Jeshua the high priest led the first band of captives back to Jerusalem. He was the prime builder of the second Temple, which was later re-constructed by King Herod. Zerubbabel was the grandson of Jehoiachin, the captive king of Judah (1 Chr. 3:17).
Zerubbabel's Temple, also known as the Second Temple, was a Jewish holy temple that stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. It was built in the 6th century BC by Zerubbabel, a governor of the Persian province of Yehud, following the destruction of Solomon's Temple. The Second Temple was later expanded and renovated by King Herod the Great in the 1st century BC.
Zerubbabel returned to Jerusalem in 538 BCE, following the decree of Cyrus the Great, which allowed the Jewish exiles to return to their homeland after the Babylonian captivity. He played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple, often referred to as the Second Temple, which began shortly after his arrival. Zerubbabel is a key figure in the post-exilic period of Jewish history.
The "second temple" of Judaism is generally considered that built under the leadership of Zerubbabel (Ezra 4:1) and subject to aggrandizement during the reign of King Herod.
The first claimant with which I am familiar is Zerubbabel who came with Ezra and Nehemiah to Ancient Israel from Babylon in roughly 530 B.C.E.. The three leaders tried to rebuild Ancient Israel as a satrap of the Persian Empire with the blessings of King Cyrus the Great. While Ezra was a High Priest and Nehemiah was a Prophet, Zerubbabel was the grandson of Jeconiah, one of the last kings of Judah and a descendant of King David. He was ultimately disproved as the Messiah when he died a normal death.
