Eighth Vision: Four Chariots

6 And again I looked up and saw four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze. ² The first chariot had red horses, the second chariot black horses,^{(A) 3} the third chariot white horses, and the fourth chariot dappled gray^[a] horses.^{(B) 4} Then I said to the angel who spoke with me, “What are these, my lord?” ⁵ The angel answered me, “These are the four winds^[b] of heaven going out, after presenting themselves before the Lord of the whole earth.^{(C) 6} The chariot with the black horses goes toward the north country, the white ones go toward the west country,^[c] and the dappled ones go toward the south country.”^{(D) 7} When the steeds came out, they were impatient to get off and patrol the earth. And he said, “Go, patrol the earth.” So they patrolled the earth.
