Summary
In this prophetic vision, Zechariah reports four chariots emerging from two mountains of brass, each carrying horses of a distinct color that symbolize the four spirits of heaven. The angel explains that these spirits will move north, south, and throughout the earth, influencing the fate of the captives. Zechariah is instructed to gather captives named Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah from Babylon, bring them to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah, and anoint the high priest Joshua the son of Josedech with silver and gold crowns. He is also told that a figure called The Branch will grow, build the temple, rule, and serve as a priest on his throne, with a council of peace. Crowns will be given to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah, and Hen the son of Zephaniah as memorials, and the people are urged to obey God’s voice for these events to occur.
