Zechariahs Horses

• The prophetic image should be consistent, but we
  need to recognize and interpret them within their
  settings and with their dynamics
• Colors of Chapters 1 and 6 should be consistent
  with prophecy and history

Zechariah 18-13 I saw by night

• 18 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.
• 19 Then said I,
• O my lord, what are these?

4
Zechariah 18-13 ...what are these?

• 19 And the angel that talked with me said unto
  me,
• I will show thee what these be.

5
Zechariah 18-13 an answer

• 110 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.
• 111 And they answered the angel of the LORD
  that stood among the myrtle trees, and said,
• We have walked to and fro through the earth,
  and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is
  at rest.

Zechariah 18-13 How long Lord?

• 112 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?
• 113 And the LORD answered the angel that talked
  with me with good words and comfortable
  words.

  Evil World, but the fertile, prime portion of it
• Horses not just doctrine but that special
  portion of the general physical energy that
  mankind draws on for motivation. This motivating
  energy may be religious doctrine, and it may be
  broader than doctrine.

Horses do not always picture doctrine

• Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far,
  burning with his anger, and the burden thereof
  is heavy his lips are full of indignation, and
  his tongue as a devouring fire
• And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall
  reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the
  nations with the sieve of vanity and there
  shall be a bridle in the jaws of the People,
  causing them to err. Isaiah 3027-29

  of our consecrated living.

OUR GLORIOUS POPES

• Pope Innocent III brought to the papacy a
  thorough understanding of the warfare which had
  been waged against the Church in order to
  dominate, and even to overthrow her.
• And no one appreciated more than he the multiple
  blessings which a holy and enduring union between
  Church and State would bring to Christendom.

21
OUR GLORIOUS POPES

For through this union, he said, is the
Faith propagated, heresy overcome, virtue made to
flourish, vices rooted out, justice preserved,
iniquity held in check, peace secured,
persecution abolished, and pagan barbarity
subdued. This union insures the prosperity of the
Empire and the liberty of the Church. It is a
pledge of bodily security and the salvation of
the soul . . . and guarantees the rights of the
clergy and those of the State.

Zechariah 18-12

• Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define
  that it is absolutely necessary for salvation
  that every human creature be subject to the Roman
  Pontiff.

Zechariah 61-8 These are the four spirits of
the heavens

• 61 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. 2. In the first
  chariot were red horses and in the second
  chariot black horses 3. And in the third
  chariot white horses and in the fourth chariot
  grisled and bay horses.

24
Zechariah 61-8 These are the four spirits of
the heavens

• 4. Then I answered and said unto the angel that
  talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5.
  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. 6. 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.

25
Zechariah 61-8 These are the four spirits of
the heavens

• 7. 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. 8. Then cried he upon me, and
  spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go
  toward the north country have quieted my spirit
  in the north country.
