Zechariah. Four Chariots. 6:1-8. 27 January 2025

Zec 6:1 Again I raised my eyes,
and this is what I saw:
four chariots coming out between two mountains,
and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2 The first chariot had red horses,
the second chariot had black horses,
3 the third chariot had white horses
and the fourth chariot had vigorous, piebald horses.
4 I asked the angel who was talking to me,
'What are these, my lord?'
5 The angel replied,
'They are the four winds of heaven now leaving,
after attending the Lord of the whole world.
6 The black horses are leaving for the land of the north;
the white are following them,
and the piebald are leaving for the land of the south.'
7 They came out vigorously, eager to patrol the world.
He said to them, 'Go and patrol the world.'
And they patrolled the world.
8 He called to me and said,
'Look, the ones going to the land of the north
brought my spirit to rest on the land of the north.'

Four Winds Of Heaven

Two chariots went to the north and brought the spirit of God. One chariot went to the south.

The Red Horses

What happened to the chariot with the red horses? Mysteriously, it is not told. Perhaps it is for the commander of the patrolling chariots, or just for Israel.

Prayer

Jesus, I still do not understand, why the patrolling? To make you known?
