The Vision of the Four Chariots
1#Da 8:22And I turned around and lifted my eyes, and I saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains, which were bronze mountains. 2#Zec 1:8The first chariot had red horses, the second black horses, 3#Rev 6:2; Zec 1:8the third white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong. 4#Zec 1:9Then I answered the angel speaking with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5#Da 7:2; Zec 4:14The angel responded, “These are the four winds of heaven going out after standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6#Jer 1:14–15; 4:6The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the white ones are going after them, while the dappled ones are going toward the south country.”
7#Zec 1:10When the strong horses went out, they were seeking to go to and fro throughout the earth. And he said, “Go out to and fro throughout the earth.” And they went out to walk to and fro throughout the earth.
8#Eze 5:13; Zec 1:15Then he cried out to me, “Look, the ones going out to the northern land have given rest to my Spirit in the north.”
The Coronation of Joshua
9#Zec 1:1; 7:1Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 10#Ezr 7:14–16; 8:26–30Take from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah who have come from Babylon, and go on that day to the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah. 11#Zec 3:1; Ps 21:3Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. 12#Zec 3:8; Isa 4:2And say to him: Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Here is a man whose name is Branch; for he shall branch out from his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. 13#Ps 110:4; 21:5It is he who shall build the temple of the Lord; he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on his throne. He shall be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. 14#Ex 12:14; Mt 26:13And the crown shall be for a memorial to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah, in the temple of the Lord. 15#Isa 60:10; Zec 3:7And those who are far off shall come and help to build the temple of the Lord; and you all shall know that the Lord of Hosts has sent me to you. This shall happen if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God.

Zecharyah 6
6
1And I looked again, and lifted up mine eyes, and, hinei, there came arbah merkavot (four chariots) and they were coming out from between two harim (mountains); and the harim were harim of nechoshet (bronze).
2In the merkavah harishonah were red-brown susim; and in the merkavah hashenit susim shechorim (black horses);
3And in the merkavah hashlishit susim levanim (white horses); and in the merkavah harevi'it speckled, powerful susim.
4Then I answered and said unto the malach that spoke with me, What are these, adoni?
5And the malach answered and said unto me, These are the arba ruchot HaShomayim, which go forth from standing before Adon Kol HaAretz.#6:5 T.N. See Mal 3:1 where Moshiach is referred to similarly
6The one with the susim shechorim (black horses) go forth toward the eretz tzafon (land of the north); and the levanim (white ones) go forth after them; and the speckled go forth toward the eretz hateyman (land of the south).
7And the powerful ones went forth, and strained to go around to and fro throughout ha'aretz; and He said, Get you hence, go to and fro throughout ha'aretz. So they went to and fro throughout ha'aretz.
8Then called He to me, and spoke unto me, saying, Look, these that go toward the eretz tzafon have given rest to My Ruach#6:8 HaKodesh in the eretz tzafon.
9And the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
10Take of them of the Golus, even of Cheldai, of Toviyah, and of Yedayah, which have arrived from Babylon, and thou go into the bais of Yoshiyah ben Tzephanyah;
11Then take kesef and zahav, and make atarot (crowns), and set them upon the rosh Yehoshua ben Yehotzadak, the Kohen HaGadol,
12And speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: Hinei Ish, TZEMACH Shmo;#6:12 Yehoshua is said to be the namesake of the coming Moshiach Ben Dovid; see Ezra 3:8 for the Aramaic translation of Yehoshuaʼs name, Yeshua; see Jer 23:5; 30:9; 33:15; Ezra 3:8; Zech 3:8; Mt 2:23; Isa 4:2; 9:2-7; 11:1-12; 53:2,11; Moshiach the new “Joshua” Isa 49:8 and out of his place yitzmach (he [Moshiach] shall sprout up),#6:12 Isa 53:2 and he shall build the Heikhal Hashem.
13It is he who shall build the Heikhal Hashem; and he shall carry hod (majesty), and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a kohen#6:13 Ps 110:4 upon his throne; and the atzat shalom (counsel of peace) shall be between them both.
14And the atarot (crowns) shall be to Chelem, and to Toviyah, and to Yedayah, and to Chen ben Tzephanyah, for a memorial in the Heikhal Hashem.
15And they that are far off shall come and build the Heikhal Hashem, and ye shall know that Hashem Tzva'os hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the kol (voice) Hashem Eloheichem.
