Zechariah 6:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 6:3

Vision of the Four Chariots

1 Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

2 With the first chariot were ^ared horses, with the second chariot ^bblack horses,

3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds.

4 Then I answered ^aand said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

5 And the angel answered and said to me, ^a“These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their ^bstation before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The one with the black horses is going to ^athe north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.”

7 Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might ^awalk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth.

8 And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My ^aSpirit in the north country.”

The Command to Crown Joshua

9 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

10 “Receive the gift from the captives—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon—and go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.
