The War-Chariots of the Lord

6 Again I looked up, and saw four chariots come from between two mountains. The mountains were mountains of bronze. 2 The first chariot had red horses. The second chariot had black horses, 3 the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses. 4 Then I said to the messenger who talked with me, ‘What are these, my lord?’ 5 The messenger answered me, ‘These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses are going toward the north country and the white toward the west and the dappled toward the south country.’ 7 The strong horses came out, and were impatient to patrol the earth. So he said, ‘Go, patrol the earth,’ and they did so. 8 Then he cried out to me, ‘The horses that went to the north country will quiet my spirit in the north country.’
