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.

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.

Who claimed to be the first Jewish messiah?
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.
