Zechariah 6:1-8 - Zechariah's Eighth Vision

1 Then I looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains! And the mountains were made of brass! 2 Attached to the first chariot were red horses. Attached to the second chariot were black horses. 3 Attached to the third chariot were white horses. Attached to the fourth chariot were speckled horses and gray horses. 4 In response, I asked the angel who had been talking with me, "Sir, what are these?"

5 The angel told me, "These are four heavenly spirits that are going out on patrol after having presented themselves to the Lord of the whole earth. 6 The black horses are headed into the north country, and the white ones are headed out after them. The speckled horses are headed toward the south country." 7 Then the gray horses went out. They were eager to go out on patrol throughout the earth, so the angel said, "Go patrol the earth." So they went out on patrol throughout the earth. 8 Then he called to me, "Look! The horses that went north have caused my spirit to rest in the north country."
