Why does the Chapter use the words of Haggai and Zechariah?
Haggai and Zechariah provided key prophetic inspiration for the rebuilding of the Second Temple, making their historical figures and scripture central to the narrative backdrop. As reported by The Square Magazine , Haggai and Zechariah brought messages of encouragement that inspired Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the people to resume and finish the work after opposition from neighbouring tribes had brought construction to a halt.

Who do the Pincipal, First and Second Sojourners represent ?
The three Sojourners who returned from the Babylonian captivity to assist in laying the foundations of the second Temple represent historical travelers who arrived at Jerusalem to aid the Grand Council. A Masonic tradition identifies these three personages as Esdras, Zachariah, and Nehemiah, while another tradition holds them to be Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, better known by their Chaldean names Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
