1 Once more I looked, and this time I saw four chariots emerging from between two mountains of bronze. 2 Harnessed to the first chariot were red horses, to the second black horses, 3 to the third white horses, and to the fourth spotted horses, all of them strong. 4 Then I asked the angelic messenger who was speaking with me, |What are these, sir?| 5 The messenger replied, |These are the four spirits of heaven that have been presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The chariot with the black horses is going to the north country and the white ones are going after them, but the spotted ones are going to the south country. 7 All these strong ones are scattering; they have sought permission to go and walk about over the earth.| The Lord had said, |Go! Walk about over the earth!| So they are doing so. 8 Then he cried out to me, |Look! The ones going to the northland have brought me peace about the northland.| Zechariah 6:1-8, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
