The first chariot was drawn by red horses, the second chariot by black horses, the third chariot by white horses, and the fourth chariot by dappled horses. All the horses were powerful. I asked the Messenger-Angel, “Sir, what’s the meaning here?” The angel answered, “These are the four winds of heaven, which originate with the Master of the whole earth.

Survey the earth!” and they were off in every direction.
