Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






The Prophet Zechariah



Chapter 6

The Four Chariots

1. Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between the two mountains; and the mountains were bronze mountains.
2. With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses,
3. with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot strong dappled horses.
4. Then I spoke and said to the angel who was speaking with me, "What are these, my lord?"
5. The angel replied to me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going forth after standing before the Lord of all the earth,
6. with one of which the black horses are going forth to the north country; and the white ones go forth after them, while the dappled ones go forth to the south country.
7. "When the strong ones went out, they were eager to go to patrol the earth." And He said, "Go, patrol the earth." So they patrolled the earth.
8. Then He cried out to me and spoke to me saying, "See, those who are going to the land of the north have appeased My wrath in the land of the north."
9. The word of the LORD also came to me, saying, 10. "Take an offering from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah; and you go the same day and enter the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, where they have arrived from Babylon.

The Symbolic Crowns

11. "Take silver and gold, make an ornate crown and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest.
12. "Then say to him, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for He will branch out from where He is; and He will build the temple of the LORD.
13. "Yes, it is He who will build the temple of the LORD, and He who will bear the honor and sit and rule on His throne Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices."' 14. "Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the LORD to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen the son of Zephaniah.
15. "Those who are far off will come and build the temple of the LORD " Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






I will never forget this Chapter of Zachariah as long as I live. On the Night of September 11, 2001, after watching the horror of That Infamous Day unfolding for the previous 12 hours, I randomly opened my Bible to this very Chapter. The LORD allowed this chapter to speak to me in a very unusual way, and it brought great comfort to me at the time.
For "Chariots", my heart read "Airplanes" in the four colors of Red, White, Black and Grey, which were the colors of American Airlines and United. The two bronze mountains reminded me of a picture I had seen of the Twin Towers at sunrise, and the man named "Branch" who asked permission to "Patrol the Earth"...well, you know, it was weird!

Of Course, the REAL interpretation of this Scripture is very different. The Chariots are "The Four Spirits of God", which could mean anything from Messengers, The Four Evangelists, Angels, World Kingdoms that conquer Babylon, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Even the Classical Commentators do not agree on this.

The "Righteous Branch" is either the Messiah Himself, or the High Priest Joshua mentioned earlier in the Book. The Hebrew word for word "Branch" is the root word in the name of a town in the Galilee area, and becomes a pun in the hands of the Evangelist Matthew, when he refers to this Scripture, saying, "He shall be called a Nazarene." An additional coincidence is the Name of the High Priest Joshua which was also the Name of the Nazarene in question.

My "reading" of this Passage on 9/11/01 was, I believe, a special touch from God to assure me that HE is in control, no matter HOW weird it gets.

Come and pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, for wisdom among our nations, for protection from the evils that wage war against us, for our forgotten persecuted brothers and sisters hidden with the nations, for an outpouring of GRACE among the nations as we see the day draw near. Amen.
