Zechariah 6:1-8

1Once more I looked, and this time I saw four chariots emerging from between two mountains of bronze.

2Harnessed to the first chariot were red horses, to the second black horses,

3to the third white horses, and to the fourth spotted horses, all of them strong.

4Then I asked the angelic messenger who was speaking with me, “What are these, sir?”

5The messenger replied, “These are the four spirits of heaven that have been presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth.

6The 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.

7All 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.

8Then he cried out to me, “Look! The ones going to the northland have brought me peace about the northland.”
