Zechariah Chapter 6

1Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

2In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses; 3in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.

4Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

6The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country." 7The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, "Go around and through the earth!" So they walked back and forth through the earth.

8Then he called to me, and spoke to me, saying, "Behold, those who go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country." 9The word of ForeverOne came to me, saying, 10"Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah; and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have come from Babylon.

11Yes, take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest; 12and speak to him, saying, 'Thus says ForeverOne of Armies, "Behold, the man whose name is the Branch: and he shall grow up out of his place; and he shall build the temple of ForeverOne; 13even he shall build the temple of ForeverOne; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

14The 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 ForeverOne.

15Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of ForeverOne; and you shall know that ForeverOne of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you will diligently obey the voice of ForeverOne your God."'"
