THE FOUR SPIRITS OF HEAVEN / ZECHARIAH 6:1-5

(KJV) Zechariah 6:1-5

And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. ² In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; ³ And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. ⁴ Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? ⁵ And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

In his eighth vision, Zechariah saw four war chariots between two bronze mountains. This vision relates to the first vision (Zechariah 1:8-11) with a few different details. Yet the Lord still is depicted as the one who controls the events of history and who eventually will conquer the nations that oppress His people. 

1. The colors of the horses pulling the chariots were red (signifying war), black (signifying famine and death) and speckled (signifying pestilence and famine; Revelation 6:2-8; Revelation 6:2; Revelation 6:4; Revelation 6:5; Revelation 6:8). Most interpreters believe that the chariot pulled by white horses represents the victory of God’s agents of judgment. 
2. The four spirits are actually angelic beings (Psalms 104:4; Revelation 7:1-3; Revelation 7:1; Revelation 7:2).
3. Both the war chariots and the bronze mountains suggest judgment against God’s enemies. The riders and chariots go toward the north and south (toward Babylon and Egypt), which also represent the northern and southern powers during the end times, which God will destroy.
