Zechariah 1:8-10

The Message

⁸ One night I looked out and saw a man astride a red horse. He was in the shadows in a grove of birches. Behind him were more horses—a red, a chestnut, and a white.

⁹ I said, “Sir, what are these horses doing here? What’s the meaning of this?”

The Angel-Messenger said, “Let me show you.”

¹⁰ Then the rider in the birch grove spoke up, “These are the riders that God sent to check things out on earth.”
