“The first chariot
Had red horses.
The second chariot
Had black horses.
The third chariot
Had white horses.
The fourth chariot
Had dappled gray horses.”
Once again, there were different colored horses leading these 4 chariots. The first chariot had red horses. Then the second chariot had black horses, while the third chariot had white horses. The final chariot had dappled gray horses. Thus, these 4 chariots had 4 different colorful horses leading them.
“Zechariah said.
‘In the night,
I saw a man
Riding on a red horse!
He was standing
Among the myrtle trees
In the glen.
Behind him,
Were red horses,
Sorrel horses,
White horses.’”
Zechariah had this night vision about horses. First, there was a man riding a red horse in the valley or glen that was filled with myrtle or evergreen trees. Even more interesting was a series of other horses behind this rider. While white horses might be common, the sight of red horses with sorrel or speckled horses seemed a bit strange. What was this all about?
