Four Chariots
1 Then I looked up again and saw four chariots coming from between two bronze mountains.
2 The first chariot was pulled by red horses, the second by black horses,
3 the third by white horses, and the fourth by powerful dappled-gray horses.
4 “And what are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was talking with me.
5 The angel replied, “These are the four spiritsof heaven who stand before the Lord of all the earth. They are going out to do his work.
6 The chariot with black horses is going north, the chariot with white horses is going west,and the chariot with dappled-gray horses is going south.”
7 The powerful horses were eager to set out to patrol the earth. And theLordsaid, “Go and patrol the earth!” So they left at once on their patrol.
8 Then theLordsummoned me and said, “Look, those who went north have vented the anger of my Spiritthere in the land of the north.”
The Crowning of Jeshua
9 Then I received another message from theLord:
10 “Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will bring gifts of silver and gold from the Jews exiled in Babylon. As soon as they arrive, meet them at the home of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11 Accept their gifts, and make a crown from the silver and gold. Then put the crown on the head of Jeshuason of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12 Tell him, ‘This is what theLordof Heaven’s Armies says: Here is the man called the Branch. He will branch out from where he is and build the Temple of theLord.
13 Yes, he will build the Temple of theLord. Then he will receive royal honor and will rule as king from his throne. He will also serve as priest from his throne,and there will be perfect harmony between his two roles.’
14 “The crown will be a memorial in the Temple of theLordto honor those who gave it—Heldai,Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Josiahson of Zephaniah.”
15 People will come from distant lands to rebuild the Temple of theLord. And when this happens, you will know that my messages have been from theLordof Heaven’s Armies. All this will happen if you carefully obey what theLordyour God says.
