Zechariah Perek 6

Zechariah saw a vision of God’s chariots.

Zechariah saw four chariots emerging from between the two mountains of copper.

The first chariot’s horses were red. The second chariot’s horses were black, the third’s were white and the fourth’s were spotted like grey ash.

Zechariah questioned the angel about what he’s looking at.

The angel tells Zechariah that they are the four corners of the heavens that are emerging from their appearance before God.

The chariot with the black horses goes to the north of the country, while the white one follows it.

The chariot with spotted horses goes to the south of the country.

And the chariot with the horses that are grey like ash roams the earth.

Zechariah calls out upon seeing the horses and chariots go to the north and then is calmed down.

The navi continues to relate how Zechariah will make crowns for Yehoshua ben Yehotzedek by taking silver and gold from certain specific nations.

A man from the descendants of Tsemach will rebuild the Beis Hamikdash and God’s throne will be reestablished.
