the four winds of the heaven

{Revelation 7:1} And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

{Zechariah 6:1} And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of brass.
{Zechariah 6:2} In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
{Zechariah 6:3} And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
{Zechariah 6:4} Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these, my lord?
{Zechariah 6:5} And the angel answered and said unto me, These [are] the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
{Zechariah 6:6} The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
{Zechariah 6:7} And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
{Zechariah 6:8} Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

NOTE: The author of the web page, upon which this worksheet is based, seems to have made an error when citing the verses from Zechariah.
The author cited Zechariah 6:1-8, shown above, whereas Zechariah 2:6 seems more relevant. Zechariah 2:6 is therefore shown below.

{Zechariah 2:6} Ho, ho, [come forth,] and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.

{Jeremiah 49:36} And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
