A Vision of Four Chariots

Zechariah 6

1 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of m bronze. 2 The first chariot had n red horses, the second o black horses, 3 the third p white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses - all of them strong. 1 4 Then I answered and said to q the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5 And the angel answered and said to me, r "These are going out to the four winds of heaven, after s presenting themselves before t the Lord of all the earth. 6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward u the north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward v the south country." 7 When the strong horses came out, they were impatient to go and w patrol the earth. And he said, "Go, w patrol the earth." w So they patrolled the earth. 8 Then he cried to me, "Behold, those who go toward u the north country have set my Spirit at rest in u the north country."
