Zechariah 6
The Four
Chariots |
1 |
And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes,
and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between
two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of
brass.
|
2 |
In the first chariot were red
horses; Rev. 6.4 and in the second chariot black horses; Rev. 6.5
|
3 |
and in the third chariot white horses; Rev.
6.2 and in the fourth chariot grizzled and bay
horses.
|
4 |
Then I answered and said unto the angel
that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
|
5 |
And the angel answered and said unto me,
These are the four spirits of the heavens, Rev. 7.1 which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the
earth.
|
6 |
The black horses which are therein
go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them;
and the grizzled go forth toward the south country.
|
7 |
And the bay went forth, and sought to go
that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get
you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and
fro through the earth.
|
8 |
Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me,
saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted
my spirit in the north country.

The Symbolic Crowning
of Joshua |
9 |
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
|
10 |
Take of them of the captivity, even of Hel'dai, of Tobi'jah, and of Jedai'ah, which are come
from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of
Josi'ah the son of Zephani'ah;
|
11 |
then take silver and gold, and make
crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of
Jos'edech, the high priest;
|
12 |
and speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh
the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose
name is The BRANCH; Jer. 23.5 ; 33.15 · Zech. 3.8 and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the
temple of the LORD:
|
13 |
even he shall build the temple of the
LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall
sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his
throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them
both.
|
14 |
And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to
Tobi'jah, and to Jedai'ah, and to Hen the son of Zephani'ah, for a
memorial in the temple of the LORD.
|
15 |
And they that are far off shall
come and build in the temple of the LORD, and
ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent
me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will
diligently obey the voice of the LORD your
God.
