The vision of the four chariots. By the crowns of Joshua is made to see the temple and kingdom of Christ the Branch.
1And I turned back and lifted up my eyes and saw, and, behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
2With the first chariot were red horses, and with the second chariot black horses,
3and with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth dappled and strong colored horses.
4And I answered and said to the angel who was speaking with me, What are these, my lord?
5And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of Heaven who go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6The black horses in it go into the north country, and the white go after them; and the dappled ones go forth into the south country.
7And the strong colored ones went forth and sought to go, to walk about in the earth. And he said, Go! Walk about in the earth. And they walked about in the earth.
8And he cried out to me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these who go into the north country have caused My Spirit to rest in the north country.
9And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
10Take from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, from the exiles who have come from Babylon; and in that day you go in and go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah.
11And take silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12And speak to him, saying, So says Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Behold! A Man! THE BRANCH is His name ! And He shall spring up out of His place, and He shall build the temple of Jehovah.
13And He shall build the temple of Jehovah; and He shall bear the majesty, 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 the two of them.
14And the crowns shall be for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah, to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen, the son of Zephaniah.
