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.
