The Koine Bible

And I turned and lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, four chariots coming out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze

In the first chariot were red horses, and in the second chariot black horses

and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth chariot dappled, dark-gray horses

And I answered and said to the angel who was speaking in me, What are these, lord?

And the angel who was speaking in me answered and said, These are the four winds of heaven, going out to stand before the Lord of all the earth.

In which were the black horses were going out to the land of the north, and the white ones were going out after them, and the dappled ones were going out to the land of the south.

And the spotted ones went out and were looking to go about to patrol the earth, and he said, Go and patrol the earth. And they patrolled the earth.

And he cried out and spoke to me, saying, Behold, those who are going forth to the land of the north have caused my wrath to rest in the land of the north.

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying

Take from the captivity from the rulers and from its useful men and from those who know it, and you shall go in on that day into the house of Josiah the son of Sophonias, who has come from Babylon

And you shall take silver and gold and make crowns and put them on the head of Jesus the son of Josedek, the great priest

And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord Almighty: Behold, a man, Rising is his name, and below him he shall rise and he shall build the house of the Lord

And he himself shall receive virtue and shall sit and shall rule upon his throne, and the priest shall be from his right hand, and a peaceful counsel shall be between both.

And the crown shall be for those who endure and for its useful ones and for those who have known it, and for the grace of the son of Sophonias and for a psalm in the house of the Lord

And those far away from them shall come and shall build in the house of the Lord, and you shall know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you, and it shall be if, hearing, you shall hear the voice of the Lord your God.
