The Four Chariots

1 Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, afour chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.

2 With the first chariot were ared horses, with the second chariot bblack horses,

3 with the third chariot awhite horses, and with the fourth chariot strong bdappled horses.

4 Then I spoke and said to the angel who was speaking with me, “aWhat are these, my lord?”

5 The angel replied to me, “These are the afour spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth,

6 with one of which the black horses are going forth to the anorth country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the bsouth country.

7 “When the strong ones went out, they 1were eager to go to 2apatrol the earth.” And He said, “Go, 2patrol the earth.” So they 3patrolled the earth.

8 Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, “See, those who are going to the land of the north have 1aappeased My wrath in the land of the north.”
