1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there
came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains
were mountains of brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in
the second chariot black horses; 3 And in the third chariot white
horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. 4 Then I
answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my
lord?
5 And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four
spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of
all the earth. 6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the
north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go
forth toward the south country. 7 And the bay 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. 8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying,
Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in
the north country.
9 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 10 Take of them of the
captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come
from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of
Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
11 Then take silver and gold, and make
crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest; 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of
hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The Branch (Jesus Christ); and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: 13 Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; 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.
(This temple would be the Spirit of God, in Spirit and not in bricks made by masons. The bricks of this temple would be the word of God and the temple would be held together forever by the Word of God.)
14 And 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 the Lord.
15 And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the
Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the
Lord your God.
