Zechariah 6

The Vision of the Four Chariots

The Vision of the Four Chariots

1And again I lifted up mine eyes , and saw , and , behold , there came four chariots out from between two mountains ; and the mountains were mountains of brass . 2In the first chariot were red horses ; and in the second chariot black horses ; 3and in the third chariot white horses ; and in the fourth chariot grizzled strong horses . 4Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me , What are these , my lord? 5And the angel answered and said unto me , These are the four winds of heaven , which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth . 6The chariot wherein are the black horses goeth forth toward the north country; and the white went forth after them ; and the grizzled went forth toward the south country. 7And the strong 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. 8Then cried he to me , and spake unto me , saying , Behold , they that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

The Crowning of Joshua

9And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , 10Take of them of the captivity , even of Heldai , of Tobijah , and of Jedaiah ; and come thou the same day , and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah , whither they are come from Babylon; 11yea, take of them silver and gold , and make crowns , and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak , the high priest ; 12and speak unto him , saying, Thus speaketh Jehovah 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 Jehovah ; 13even he shall build the temple of Jehovah ; 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 . 14And the crowns shall be to Helem , and to Tobijah , and to Jedaiah , and to Hen the son of Zephaniah , for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah . 15And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah ; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you . And this shall come to pass , if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah your God .
