OUR FATHER WHOSE SPIRIT IS GIVEN REST WHEN HIS SERVANTS ARE EAGER TO PATROL THE TERRITORIES

The book of Zachariah chapter 6 verses 1 - 8 records another vision that Zachariah saw as he talked to the Angel of the Lord.

1 Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, 3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds. 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

Zachariah saw four chariots coming from between two bronze mountains with each chariot harnessed to horses of distinct colors (red, black, white, dappled). These chariots were being driven by the four spirits of heaven.

5 And the angel answered and said to me, “These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The one with the black horses is going to the north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.” 7 Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth. 8 And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in the north country.”

The configuration of the chariots was as follows

• Chariot 1     Red horses            
• Chariot 2     Black Horses        North Country
• Chariot 3     White Horses       North Country
• Chariot 4     Dappled Horses   South Country

The Angel of the Lord said to Zachariah that the chariots that had gone North (Black and White) were the ones who had given rest to His Spirit in the North country. The four chariots were eager to patrol the earth and they were granted this wish and they travelled back and forth across the territories.

Amen.
