Chapter 6 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.
In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses,
and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot grizzled and bay
horses.
Then I answered and said unto the angel that he had talked with me, What are
these, my lord?
And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens,
which go forth from standing before the lord of all the earth.
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.
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.
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.
And the word of the lord came unto me, saying, Take of them of the captivity,
even of Heldi, of Tobijah, and of Judea, which are come from Babylon, and come
there the same day, and go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah.
Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of
Joshua, the son of Josedek, the high priest.
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man
whose name is the branch, and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall
build the temple of the lord.
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 council of peace shall be between
them both.
And the crowns shall be to Helim, and to Tobijah, and to Judea, and to Hen,
the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the lord.
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.
