Zechariah 6
God showed Zechariah the four spirits of the heavens that stand before the Lord
1 And I turned, and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, four chariots came
out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of bronze. 2
With the first chariot were red horses; and with the second chariot black horses; 3
And with the third chariot white horses; and with the fourth chariot spotted and bay
horses. 4 Then I spoke and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these,
my lord? 5 And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of the
heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
Brass is a symbol of judgment. God’s judgment is always right and merciful. This tells us
that there are many things going on in the universe that we do not hear about in the
news. God is still in charge of His universe!
2Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah
went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I beg you, open his eyes, that he may
see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
6 The black horses that are in it go forth into the north country; and the white go
forth after them; and the spotted go forth toward the south country. 7 And the bay
went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and
he said, Go, patrol the earth. So they patrolled the earth. 8 Then he cried out to me
me, and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have
quieted my spirit in the north country.
Notice that this angel that talked with Zechariah was God. The patrolling horses quieted
His Holy Spirit.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for he is
flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
The Lord Jesus will build God’s temple at Jerusalem and reign in glory
9 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 10 Take from those of the
captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which have come from
Babylon, and come the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of
Zephaniah; 11 Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them on the
head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 12 And speak to him, saying,
The Lord of hosts speaks this, saying, Behold the man whose name is The
BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of
the LORD: 13 Even he will build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the
glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne; and he shall be a priest on his throne:
and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Today we separate church and state. Christ as King will not do that. God is life; only the
rebellious take God out of life. Christ will represent the people to God and God to the
people as He rules from His glorious throne.
Ezekiel 1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a
throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and on the throne was the likeness of a
man above upon it. 27 And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round
about within it, from his loins upward, and from his loins downward, I saw the
appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. 28 As the appearance of the bow
that is in the cloud in the day of rain was the appearance of the brightness round about.
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD.
Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall
grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of
the fear of the LORD; 3 And he will delight/make him breathe in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not judge according to what his eyes see, nor reprove according to what his
ears hear: 4 But with righteousness he will judge the poor, and reprimand with equity for
the meek of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness shall be encircler his
thighs, and faithfulness the encircler of his heart.
Revelation 1:6 And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory
and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
14 And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen
the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. 15 And they that
are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and you shall know
that the LORD of hosts sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if you will
diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
The Bible contains 7,000 promises for you, not just salvation. If we listen and believe
them, God, our Father, will bring them to pass in our lives. We don’t know what these
promises are until we dig into the scriptures in an attitude of prayer. God doesn’t
promise wonderful things just to have the wonderful things, but that we might love Him
with all our hearts and live filled with Him. The Lord brings all He has promised to pass
if we diligently obey His voice.
2Timothy 4:8 From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all those
also that love his appearing.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall
receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them that love him.
1Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory
that does not fade away.
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold fast to what you have, that no man take
your crown.
