All right, you have been rather persuasive. Those have to be real horses not vehicles [no matter how much horsepower]. So let's return to your earlier post:

"I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness."

The prophecy was intended for a day when men rode horses for transportation and in war, not modern times like today.

Says who??? Do soldiers ride horses in any armies today? Do policemen patrol cities on horseback today??? Do they ride horses anywhere in the Middle East today??? Are horses entirely obsolete for all armies and all military purposes. Perhaps in a future of gasoline shortages and hummer scarcities, the horse might be pressed into service just as in WWI and even early WWII.

Nope. I bet if you go to the headquwaters of the 7th Calvary you will finds tanks not horses.

This is not speaking of police as we know them. Police do not wage war.

Perhaps in a future of ...

Ah, yes, the "perhaps" exegesis of the text. Like the "perhaps" exegesis that in the future guns and tanks and artilary will be made out of wood to fulfill Ezekiel 39:9, even though the passage speaks of " shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years".
