Zechariah 6:1

 

 

“These Are They That Go Forth”

 

The Bible says in Zechariah chapter 6:1-7, “And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth

 

The book of Zechariah is one of the last books of the Old Testament. When the last book of the Old Testament was written there was a time of about 400 years before John the Baptist and Christ Jesus. The book of Zechariah has some very important information regarding the great tribulation that space of 1 hour which is 7 years. The great tribulation comes at the end of the age of grace. The age of grace is a grace for grace age called the last days. The last days has been lasting for about 2000 years so far. He that heareth let him hear what the Spirit sayeth unto the churches.

 

2 Chronicles 24:20-21 says, “And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? Because ye have forsaken the LORD, He hath also forsaken you.  And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.” Zechariah like many of those whom God hath sent died the death of a martyr. Zechariah was stoned to death in the court of the temple. Every book of the Bible teaches about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And every book of the Bible teaches something about the end of the ages because the Bible is the book of the Ancient of days. Just like Zechariah many of those who follow Christ and pick up their cross daily and are faithful in the little things and preach to the world this message, “Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? Because ye have forsaken the LORD, He hath also forsaken you,” will be hated.

 

In thinking about Zechariah chapter 6 we have a trumpet blown which gives us a warning that we are nearing the end of the age of grace. Zechariah chapter 6 teaches us about how the United States of America fits into Bible prophecy. Because even though this chapter is specific prophecy for the great tribulation it also applies to the country of the United States in the last days of the age of grace before the twinkling of an eye and the great tribulation.

 

Lets talk about the 4 horsemen. The Bible says in Zechariah chapter 6:1-7, “And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth

 

These chariots and horses symbolize the history of spiritual warfare in the United States since it has been a free country. The black and the white went into the North. The grisled and the bay went into the south. In the United States we think of the north and the south. There has always been a battle of slavery in the United States because there has always been a spiritual warfare going on. Slavery still exists in the United States but they it call it bdsm now:  bondage, discipline, sadomachism. The White House and Hollywood use the guise of sex to hide the truth about slavery in this country. Notice that the first chariot is red horses. Red is the color of blood. Blood is what is shed in war. Christ shed His blood for sinful men and colonists shed their blood to found this once but no longer great country of the United States. Notice that after the red was the black and the white horses which went into the North. The blacks were in slavery in this country and now the whites. The whites have been in slavery since the 1960’s. The world uses the guise of political correctness and discrimination to hide the slavery against white people and Christians in this country. They suffer in the chains of Bdsm. They and their children are kidnapped, prostituted out, sold to other countries, slandered, beaten, cut to pieces, put in dungeons, and murdered. They film these things and use the film in Hollywood movies. They even do these activities at the White House in Washington D.C.

 

Now notice the last two horses: the grisled and the bay horses. These horses speak of the colors red and brown. Red is a color that should make us think of crimson. It is perilous times. 2 Timothy 3:1 says, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” Zechariah 6:7 says, “And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.” Divorce the devil, separate from the world, pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ. God will use the United States for the Gospel of Jesus Christ so long as the United States is a country because the constitution of the United States is based upon the King James Bible. It may be that many Christians in this Laodicean age of the 7 churches have done great sexual immorality including homosexuality. But Christ does forgive sins. Christ will use Christians for His purpose because the name of God is Jealous. Jehovah Jesus is getting Jealous. The Spirit tells us so. Who are these that are grisled and bay and walk too and fro upon the earth? They are the wayward Christians. They are the waymarks, the signs of the times, the watchmen, the gospel preachers for the world, they live in their cars, they sit in the prisons, they die nameless on the streets, they rot from Hiv/aides on welfare. They are the signs of the Word of God that others refused to put on their church signs preferring their own great swelling words of vanity instead of the Words of Jesus Christ. Christ Jesus has His way with man and maid. The bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth.

 

After the last book of the Old Testament was written there were 400 years before a Word from the LORD by John the Baptist. America has been around about half that time. When is the age of grace ending? When is the twinkling of an eye? My name is William E. Night the original one. It is just a pen name. What will happen when the United States falls? It is wisdom to know the times and the seasons that the LORD Jesus Christ has appointed on this earth. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Church’s.  Consider these phrases from the king James Bible: two wings of a great eagle, the wind hath bound her up in wings, the wind was in their wings, from sea to sea, from the river unto the ends of the earth, two mountains made of brass, half a time from the face of the serpent.

 

Revelation chapter 6:1-8 says, “And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on Him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the first seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” The Spirit and the bride say come. Spiritual romance is never ruined for a Christian. Blessed is he that does not take part in the second death because Christians will finish this age with grace; Christians will be delivered from the wrath and indignation of a Jealous God which will shake all the nations of this world for 7 years. The 4 horse men of Zechariah chapter 6 and Revelation chapter 6 help us to understand the time. We know we are close to the twinkling of an eye. The last of the horses the bay horse is going forth into all the world. These are those who go forth with the good news.

 

Zechariah 6:1 says, “And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.” A mountain symbolizes the righteousness of God.  We know that the feet of Christ are compared to fine brass in the book of Revelation. Christ is the faithful witness. To have your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to have feet shod with spiritual brass. Zechariah 1:8-12 says, “I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. And they answered the Angel of The LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and sadi, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. Then the Angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?”

 

100 years. Threescore and 10 years. This passage of the Bible has a specific application to the time of Zechariah, to the time of the great tribulation, and also to the time just before the great tribulation at the end of the age of grace. For 100 years Americans have walked too and fro upon the earth just as the Jews did in the time of Zechariah because of the Babylonian captivity. 1913-2013 is 100 years. WW1 began in 1913. For the last 100 years the United States has led the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus Christ into the world. Most of those who have done this work are not those with churchs or names mentioned in the news but they are men and women and children who have suffered and sacrificed for the glory of Jesus Christ. These are they who go to and fro upon the earth as outcasts and criminals hated of the world, slandered and martyred. They have no beauty that we should desire them. To and fro through all the earth, and behold, all the earth still sitteth still, and is at rest.

 

Have you seen them going too and for upon all the earth. Some stand on bridges holding giant crosses making their way to Hollywood to die on their cross for Christ, suffering as Christ suffered so that those living it up in sin might have one more chance to repent of their sins before being cast into the lake of fire forever. Some do not stray too far from the sidewalk, withered like a stick, rotted from aides, they walk on step by step, faith to faith, grace for grace, faithful in the little things; being in much affliction because they know the eternal love of Christ and the forgiveness of their own sins. O! It is perilous times indeed. Did I desire? To eat bread! Woe worth the day! Thus and thus.  Why hath the LORD done thus? O! Earth, Earth, Earth hear the word of the LORD. John 3:16says, “For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life

 

When shall the age of grace end? When God shall say, “There is not a vessel more.” When there is not a vessel of grace more to save in this age. O! to be a vessel fitted unto honour instead of unto destruction; the honour of Christ’s eternal majesty. Zechariah chapter 6 and Revelation chapter 6 speak of the 4 horsemen. Zechariah chapter 6 also gives one of the names of God: THE BRANCH.

 

Zechariah 10:8, “I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increasedAn I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. Christ Jesus is the Branch. A branch comes from a tree. The cross that Christ was crucified on was made of a myrtle tree. The myrtle tree is as bitter as wormwood but O how its blossoms with Myrrh. There is no Gospel like the light of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for the sins of the World. Three score and ten years ago the world began falling into a greater slavery than it ever has because it began turning the grace of God into lasciviousness. Have you forgotten the names of God? Have you forgotten that Christ redeems them. They call it bdsm these days. It should be called Behold, dominion salvation majesty. When you think of a myrtle tree and The BRANCH because Christ Jesus is The BRANCH think of a cross withholding a sea and the wind blowing on the sea of mankind. It is jut law and grace.

 

Micah 7:19 says, “He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” Oh Virgin of Israel pass on! Send forth the waymarks.  These are they that go forth for the glory of Christ Jesus The BRANCH. They are red like crimson with the blood of Christ. They are drunk with the wine of the blood of Jesus. They are Red horses, speckled, and white. They are the red diamonds the sardine stones of the last days of the age of grace. From sea to sea with two wings of a great eagle the Christ reaches out in His grace and touches the hearts of men. Repent of your sins and bow the knee to Christ before the twinkling of an eye.  Zechariah 6:7, “Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth
