Four Chariots
1 I looked up again, and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze.
2 The first chariot had red horses, the second black,
3 the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful.
4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 The angel answered me, “These are the four spiritsof heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world.
6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west,and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”
7 When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.
8 Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spiritrest in the land of the north.”
A Crown for Joshua
9 The word of theLordcame to me:
10 “Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
11 Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jozadak.
12 Tell him this is what theLordAlmighty says: ‘Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of theLord.
13 It is he who will build the temple of theLord, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And hewill be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.’
14 The crown will be given to Heldai,Tobijah, Jedaiah and Henson of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of theLord.
15 Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of theLord, and you will know that theLordAlmighty has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey theLordyour God.”
