VOICE TWO:            THE EIGHT VISIONS OF ZECHARIAH.

VOICE FOUR:          The Rider on the White Horse--

VOICE ONE:             The angel of the Lord promises that God’s compassion would once again return to Jerusalem.

VOICE THREE:        The four horns which scattered Israel--

VOICE TWO:            Babylon, Medo-Persian, Greece, and Rome--corresponding to the great image of Daniel 2.

VOICE FOUR:          The four craftsmen adept at carving on horns--

VOICE ONE:             Medo-Persia, the conqueror of Babylon.  Greece the power which overthrew Medo-Persia, Rome the vanquisher of Greece and Christ the Prince, a stone cut out without hands who will one day destroy the revived Roman empire and set up the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.

VOICE THREE:        The man with the measuring line--

VOICE TWO:            Measuring a restored city of Jerusalem, overflowing with those who are the apple of God’s eye.

VOICE FOUR:          Joshua the High Priest--

VOICE ONE:             Satan, the Adversary, accuses Joshua before God, but the Angel of the Lord clothes him in His own righteousness.

VOICE THREE:        The lampstand and the olive trees--

VOICE TWO:            An endless supply of the Spirit of God as empowerment for the task.

VOICE FOUR:          The flying scroll--

VOICE ONE:             God’s word becomes the basis for judgment of all the world with no sin going unjudged and no injustice unpunished.

VOICE THREE:        The woman in the basket--

VOICE TWO:            Apostate religion will be carried away to judgment and removed from the earth.

VOICE FOUR:          The vision of the four chariots--

VOICE ONE:             The reconnaissance patrol from the first vision reappears, symbolizing the judgment of the nations who have oppressed God’s people.   The red horse of war, the black horse of death, the white horse of conquest and the dappled horse of judgment. 

VOICE THREE:        And the Lord will be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the only one, and His name the only one.  In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO THE LORD!

ALL:                           HOLY TO THE LORD!
