The vision of four chariots

6 I looked up again, and in the vision I saw four chariots coming toward me from between two bronze mountains. 2 Red horses pulled the first chariot, and black horses pulled the second chariot. 3 White horses pulled the third chariot, and strong, spotted horses pulled the fourth chariot. 4 I asked the angel who had been speaking to me, “Sir, what do those chariots mean?”

5 The angel replied, “These are the four spirits that serve the Lord who rules the entire earth. They go out across the sky in four directions. 6 The chariot with the black horses will go north, the white horses will follow them, and the spotted horses will go south.”

7 When those strong horses went out, they were eager to go and patrol the earth. The angel said to them, “Go, patrol the earth!” So they went and patrolled the earth.

8 Then the angel called out to me, “Look, the chariots that went north have satisfied my anger in the land of the north.”
