ZECHARIAH 6:1-8 - THE FOUR CHARIOTS

THE FINAL ACT UPON LIFE'S STAGE
THAT SATISFIED GOD'S HOLY RAGE
DESCRIBE FOUR CHARIOTS ON THEIR WAY
DISPLAYING VENGEANCE ON THEIR PREY.

WHO ARE THESE MIGHTY-SPIRIT BEINGS
BEHIND THESE COLOR-PAINTED STEEDS?
THEY ARE MESSIAH'S MESSENGERS
DESTROYING JUDAH'S PREDATORS.

THE PLAN OF YAHWEH ON DISPLAY
WAS VIEWED IN PERSIA'S MIGHT THAT DAY
DESTROYING BABYLON'S WILLFUL PRIDE
WITH SOVEREIGN JUSTICE SATISFIED.

YET STRETCHED BEYOND THIS PRESENT SCENE
ARE VISIONS THAT FOUR HORSEMEN BRING
AS TRIBULATION WRATH TAKES PLACE
POURED OUT UPON THE HUMAN RACE.

THESE REVELATION COLORED STEEDS
PORTRAY GOD'S WRATH ON EVIL DEEDS
AS ARMAGEDDON FORCES MEET
GOD'S GLORIOUS PLAN WILL BE COMPLETE.

THOUGHT QUESTIONS

1. THE PROPHET SEES FOUR CHARIOTS COMING FROM BETWEEN TWO BRONZE MOUNTAINS. WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT INDICATE?
2. WHAT DO THESE FOUR CHARIOTS REPRESENT (V.5)? WHAT ARE THEY DOING? WHAT DIRECTIONS ARE THEY HEADING AND WHY?
3. SINCE THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THESE COLORED CHARIOTS, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE COLORED HORSES OF REVELATION 6:1-8? IS THERE A POSSIBLE CONNECTION OR PARALLEL?
4. VERSE 8 INDICATES THAT HIS "SPIRIT IS AT REST IN THE LAND OF THE NORTH." WHAT PRESENT AND FUTURE FULFILLMENT MIGHT THIS BE SPEAKING ABOUT? CAN YOU SEE WHERE THIS DRAMA IS HEADING AND HOW GOD IS PREPARING ISRAEL FOR ARMAGEDDON AND MESSIAH'S FUTURE REIGN?
