Look what I learned!

The angel replied, “These are the four spirits of heaven who stand before the LORD of all the earth. They are going out to do his work.“
Zechariah 6:5

…may not be exactly the same as the four horsemen of Revelation 6, but the idea of their mission and purpose is similar.

If Zechariah had reference to the technology of today, he might picture the angels in fast cars or fighter jets, showing how swiftly and powerfully they move across the earth to accomplish God’s purpose.
