		The role attributed to Hystaspes in the frame story of the Oracle is indicative of an environment where Iranian traditions were well known and were in use in anti-Roman propaganda.
		Although Sefer Zerubabel, like the Oracle of Hystaspes and other apocalyptic writings, refers to a chain of world kingdoms, in Sefer Zerubabel the links are not connected, that is, one kingdom does not defeat the other but each kingdom is defeated by the people of Israel.
