I looked up again- and then before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains- mountains of bronze!
The first chariot had red horses, the second black.
the third white, and the fourth dappled- all of them powerful.
I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these my lord?"
The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world
The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the ward teh north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward thje south.
When teh pwerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout thee arth ,And he said, "Go throughout the earth. And he said, "Go throughout the earth, they went throughjout the earth.
Then he called to me, "Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north."
The word of the LORD came to me.
"Lake silver and gold, from tjhe exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon, Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.
Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will brabch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD.
It is he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne, And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony, between the two.
The crown will ne given to Heldai; Tobijah Jedaiah and Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of the LORD,
Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of the LORD , and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the LORD your God,"
Zechariah 7
In the fourth year of King of Darius , the word of the LORD came to Zechariah on rhe fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Kislev.
The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-Melech, together with their men, to entreat the LORD
by asking the priests of the house of the LORD Almighty and the prophets," Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?"
Then teh word of the LORD Amnighty came to me.
"Ask all tje people of tje land and tje priests, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted?
And when you were eating andd rinking. were you not just feasting for yourselves?
Are these not teh words the LORD proclaimed throughj the earlier prophets when Jerusalem and its surrounding towns were at rest and prosperous, and the Negev and the western foothill were settled?"
And tje word of the LORD came again to Zechariah:
"Thjis is what the LORD Almighty says; Administer true justice show mercy abd compassion to one another.
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other,"
"But they refused to pay attention; stubbrnly they turned their backs and stipped up their ears.
They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets, So the LORD Almighty was very angry.
"When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen; says the LORD Almighty.
I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the antions where they were strangers, The land was left so desolate behind them that no one could come or go, This is how they made then pleasant land desolate,"
Zechariah 8
Again the word of the LORD Almighty came to me.
This is what the LORD Almighty says," I am very jealous for Zion, I am burning with jealousy for her,"
This is what the LORD says;"I will return to Zion andd well in Jerusalem, Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain."
This is waht te LORD Almighty says,"Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem each with cane in hand because of his age.
The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playiing there."
This is what the LORD Almighty says."It may seem marvelous to the remaint of this people at that time, but will it seem marvelous to me? declares the LORD Almighty.
This is what the LORD Almighty says,"I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west.
I will bring them back to live in Jerusalem, they will be my peoples, and I will be faithful and righteous to them as their God."
This is what the LORD Almighty says,"You who now hear these words spoken by the prophets who were there when the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD Almighty, let your hands be strong so that the temple may be built
Before that time there were no wages for man or beast, No one could go anout his business safely because of his entermy, for I had turned every man against his neighbor
But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as I did in the past," decalres the LORD Almighty,
"The eed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit , the ground will procuce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew, I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people.
As you have been an object of cursing among the antions, O Judah and Israel, so will I save you, and you will be a blessing, Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong,"
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Just as I had determind to bring disaster upon angered me," says the LORD Almighty
"So now I have determined to do good against to Jerusalem and Judah. Do not be afraid.
These are the things you are to do , Speak the truth toe ach other , and render true and sound judgement in your courts.
do not plot evil against your neighbor, and do not love to swear falsely, I have all this," declares the LORD
Again the word of the LORD Almighty came to me,
The is what the LORD Almighty says;"The fasts of the fourth fifth, seventh and tenth, months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah, Therefore love truth and peace.
This is what the LORD Almighty says "Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come,and teh inheritants of many cities will yet come,
and teh inheritants of one city will go to another and say, Let us go one city will go to another and say, Let us go at once to entreat the LORD nad seek the LORD Almighty, I myself am going,
And many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD Almighty and to eantreat him,"
This is what the LORD Almighty says:"In those days ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one jew by the hem of his robe and say, Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you,"
Zechariah 9
The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach and will rest upon Damascus- for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel are on the LORD-
and upon Harmath too, which borders on it, and upom Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skilful.
Tyre has built herself a stronghold; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirl of the streets.
But the Lord will take away her possessions and destroy her power on the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
Ashkelon will see it and fear, Gaza will writhe in agony, and Ekron too, for her hope will wither, Faza will lose her king and Ashkelon will be desered,
Foreigners will occupy Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines
I will take the blood from their mouths, the forbidden food between their teeth, Those who are left will belong to out God and become leaders in Judah, and Ekron will be likethe Jebusities,
But I will defend my house against marauding forces, Never again will an oppressor overrun my people for now I am keeping watch.
Rejoice greathy, O Daughter of Zion! Shout ,Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteius and having salvation gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
I will take away thec hariots from Ephrain and teh war-horses from Jerusalem, and teh abttle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations, His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River to theends of thee arth.
As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit.
Return to your fortress, O prisoners of hopes even nor I ANNOUNCE THAT i WILL RESTORE TWICE AS MUCH TO YOU.
I will bend Judah as I bend mt bow and fill it with Ephraim, I will rouse your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and make you like a warrior's sword.
Then the LORD will appear over them; his arrow will flesh like lightning. The Sovereign LORD will sound the trumpet; he will march in the storms of the south.
and the LORD Almighty will shield them. They will destroy and overcome with slingstones, They will drink and roar as with wine; they will be full like a bowl used for sprinkling teh corners of the altar.
The LORD their God will save them on that day as teh flock of his people. They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown.
How attractive and beautiful they will be! Grain will make the oung men thrive, and new wine the young women.
Zechariah 10
Ask the LORD for rai in the springtime it is the LORD who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone.
The idols speak deceit deviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort incvain, Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
"My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders, for the LORD Almighty will care for his flock, the house of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle.
From Judah will come the comerstone, from him the tent peg from him the battle bow from him every ruler
Together they will be like mighty men trampling the muddy streets in abttle. Because the LORD is with them, they will fight and overthrow the horsemen.
"I will strengthen the house of Judah and save the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them, They will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the LORD theur God and I will answer them.
The Ephrarimites will become like mighty me, and their hearts will be glad as with wine, Their cjhildren will see it and be joyful: their hearts will rejoice in the LORD.
I will signal for them and gather them in Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before.
Though I scatter them among the peoples, yet in distant lands they will remember me, They and their children will survive, and they will return
I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. I will bring them to Gilead and Lebanon, and there will not be room enough for them.
They will pass through the sea of trouble; the surging sea will be snbdued and all the depths of the Nile will day up. Assyria;s pride will be brought down and Egypt's scepter will pass alway
I will strengthen them in the LORD and in his name they will walk" declares the LORD.
