撒迦利亚书6:1-8-Acts-13-0102
撒迦利亚书的四辆马车
亚6:1-81我又举目观看，见有四辆车从两山中间出来；那山是铜山。2第一辆车套着红马，第二辆车套着黑马。3第三辆车套着白马，第四辆车套着有斑点的壮马。4我就问与我说话的天使说：主啊，这是甚么意思？5天使回答我说：这是天的四风，是从普天下的主面前出来的。6套着黑马的车往北方去，白马跟随在后；有斑点的马往南方去。7壮马出来，要在遍地走来走去。天使说：你们只管在遍地走来走去。他们就照样行了。8他又呼叫我说：看哪，往北方去的，已在北方安慰我的心。
问： 这里有四辆车是天的四风，请解释他们是如何从普天下的主面前出来的。车的颜色有什么意思吗？壮马出来，要在遍地走来走去是什么意思？
这四辆车有四种颜色的马套着，就是红马、黑马、白马和有斑点的壮马。这四辆马车是指着什么？撒迦利亚先知问天使有关四辆马车是什么意思时候，天使回答说：“这是天的四风，是从普天下的主面前出来的。这四风是指着什么？在中文圣经版本中“四风”是指为风，在英文版本中是写着神的四灵（fourspirits）。
来1:7论到使者，又说：『神以风为使者，以火焰为仆役；』
原来这风是真神的使者，火焰是神的仆役。正如撒迦利亚书说，这四辆马车就是风，他们都是从真神面前差遣出去的。正如英文版本所写的，风就是指着神的灵。这灵是指着什么灵呢？这灵是服役的灵，是真神差遣他们完成任务的。
来1:14天使岂不都是服役的灵、奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗？
天使都是服役的灵，都是奉差遣的。这四风就是真神的使者，奉真神差遣完成任务的。真神所差遣服役的灵，就是那些天使、使者。马车出来要在遍地走来走去，因真神交托了使命给他们，要在全地上东南西北奔走。
这四风或这四辆马车是从哪里出来呢？从天使的回答中已解答了，就是从普天下的主面前出来。真神所差遣的使者，他们要到天底下去。撒迦利亚书告诉我们这四风就是真神的使者被差遣到普天下去，而没有进一步讨论不同颜色的马的特别意义。
在启示录所记载的各种颜色的马，都是需要个别详细解释的。这些不同颜色的马若要以启示录来解释的话，将牵涉到各个封印的揭开。启示录记载揭开那原封的印时，曾经出现过黑马、红马、白马、灰马。这里多了一种颜色的马，即灰马。根据启示录所说，各马出来时，各种灾难就必临到。白马预表真神真道的出现。各种颜色的马匹出现，预表了我们所将面对的各种不同的属灵处境。
撒迦利亚书所指的四风，是指真神面前所差遣出去的四灵，即真神的差役、真神的使者、真神所差遣服役的灵；是真神以使命差遣他们的。他们是从普天下的主面前出来的，而且要到普天下去执行他们的工作的。
愿一切荣耀归于主耶稣基督。哈利路亚！阿们。

ZECHARIAH 6:1-8-Acts-13-0102
Zech. 6:1-81And 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. 2In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3And
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay
horses. 4Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with
me, What are these, my lord? 5And
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. 6The 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. 7And 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. 8Then
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.
Q:These four chariots are the four
spirits of the heavens. Please explain how they go forth from standing before
the Lord of all the earth? What do their colours represent? What does it mean
by the statement “the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to
and fro through the earth”?
These four chariots had horses of
four different colours, namely red horses, black horses, white horses and the
grisled and bay horses. What do these four chariots signify? When Prophet
Zechariah asked the angel what these four chariots were, the angel answered and
said, “These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing
before the Lord of all the earth.” In the Chinese Bible, the angel answered that
these four chariots were the four winds. In the English Bible, they are
referred to as the four spirits of God.
Heb.
1:7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers
a flame of fire.
Therefore these spirits (or winds
in the Chinese version) refer to the angels of God, and His ministers are a
flame of fire. Just as the book of Zechariah tells us, these four chariots are
spirits (winds in the Chinese version) of God who were sent forth from God.
Thus the winds here refer to the spirits of God. What kind of spirits are
these? These spirits are ministering spirits sent by God to fulfill their
duties.
Heb.
1:14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation?
Angels are ministering spirits who
are sent forth. Therefore these four spirits are the angels of God sent by God
to fulfill their duties. God Himself sent those ministering spirits who were
angels.
The bay went forth, and sought to
go that they might walk to and fro through the earth. The mission that God gave
to them was to walk throughout all directions of the earth.
What are these four spirits or
chariots? Where did they come from? The answer is found in the angel’s reply.
They came from standing before the Lord of all the earth. The angels sent by
God will go to the ends of the earth. The book of Zechariah tells us that these
four spirits are the angels of God sent to all the earth, but did not explain
further the different colours of the horses.
The horses of different colours in
the book of Revelation each requires detailed explanations. If the colours of
the horses are to be explained as mentioned in Revelation, it will involve the
various seals that were opened. As recorded in the book of Revelation, during the
opening of the seals, there appeared the black, red, white and grey horses,
with an extra colour--grey if compared to what is mentioned in the book of
Zechariah. As mentioned in the book of Revelation, the appearance of a
different horse entailed a different disaster. The appearance of the white
horse signifies the appearance of God’s Truth. It is during the opening of
these seals that these horses of different colours appeared, which signified
different spiritual situations that we must face.
However, the four winds mentioned
in the book of Zechariah actually refer to the four spirits sent from before
the Lord God, who are God’s ministers and angels bearing missions from God.
What does it mean by these four spirits or chariots going forth? It means that
they all come from standing before the Lord of all the earth. These four winds
or spirits are ministering spirits sent as God’s angels and ministers. They
come from God and will go to the entire world to perform their duties.
All glory to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Hallelujah! Amen.
