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
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
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
After the last book of
the Old Testament was written there were 400 years before a Word from the LORD
by John the Baptist.
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
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 Christs 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 increased. An 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.
