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 strong horses. read more.
Then I asked the angel: What are these, my lord? The angel answered: These are the four winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. The chariot with the black horses goes toward the North Country. The white went forth after them; and the grizzled went forth toward the South Country. The strong ones went forth, and sought to go that they might inspect the earth. He said: Go inspect the earth. Search back and forth through out the earth. So they inspected the earth. They searched back and forth through out the earth. Then he cried out to me: Behold! Those who go toward the North Country have quieted my spirit [of anger] in the North Country.
