1 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains - mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black, 3 the third white, and the fourth dappled - all of them powerful. 4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these, my lord?" 5 The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits 1 of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world. 6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, 2 and the one with the dappled horses toward the south." 7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, "Go throughout the earth!" So they went throughout the earth. 8 Then he called to me, "Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit 3 rest in the land of the north."
