1. AND AGAIN I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of firm, immovable bronze.
2. The first chariot had red or bay horses, the second chariot had black horses,
3. The third chariot had white horses, and the fourth chariot had dappled, active, and strong horses.
4. Then I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5. And the angel answered me, These are the four winds or spirits of the heavens, which go forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. [Ps. 104:4; Matt. 24:31.]
6. The chariot with the black horses is going forth into the north country, and the white ones are going forth after them [because there are two northern powers to overcome], and the dappled ones are going forth toward the south country.
