Four Chariots

1Then I turned and lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots were coming out from between two mountains—and the mountains were mountains of bronze.

2In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses.

3and in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, dappled horses, strong ones.

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

5Then the angel answered and said to me, “These are the four winds of heaven, going out from standing before the Lord of all the earth.”

6The black horses in it are going out to the land of the north, and the white ones have gone out after them, and the dappled ones have gone out to the land of the south.

7And the strong ones came out and sought to go, to walk throughout the earth. And he said, “Go, walk throughout the earth,” and they walked throughout the earth.

8Then he called out to me and spoke to me, saying, “See, those going out to the land of the north have set my Spirit at rest in the land of the north.”
