"The Heavenly Horses and the
Stables"
I had laid down for the night, and I saw openly a
white horse hovering in the air in my room. I saw the head, the front shoulder
and leg. Then Pat came in the room to ask me a question, and I answered him,
and he left. I laid back down, and immediately, I was in the vision in heaven.
I saw a building that was long and narrow and had many windows and small rooms
in it. There were lines of angels all lined up and waiting at the entrance of
the building. I walked closer and could see that it was a stables, because I
saw a horse emerge and it was being led by an angel. The horse walked out and
was led to an awaiting angel who then mounted it and they both flew off. Then
that angel went back in and got out another horse and brought it out and
another waiting angel then went up to it and mounted it and they both rode off
in another direction. This went on for a few minutes.
I stood there watching, and an angel who stood by me
said to me, "Somber events have now begun, and a great work must be done.
These are the work horses that must now run, for the Father's work must be
done."
Then Patrick came into the room again and asked me
another question, breaking my visitation. So, I got up and went to look up things having to do with somber events:
Isaiah 22:8-11 You assessed your
defenses that Day, inspected your arsenal of weapons in the Forest
Armory. You found the weak places in the city walls that needed repair. You
secured the water supply at the Lower Pool. You took an inventory of the houses
in Jerusalem
and tore down some to get bricks to fortify the city wall. You built a large
cistern to ensure plenty of water. You looked and looked and looked, but you
never looked to him who gave you this city, never once consulted the One who has
long had plans for this city. 12-13 The Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
called out on that Day, Called for a day of repentant tears, called you to
dress in somber clothes of mourning. But what do you do? You throw a party! Eating
and drinking and dancing in the streets! You barbecue bulls and sheep, and
throw a huge feast—slabs of meat, kegs of beer. "Seize the day! Eat and
drink! Tomorrow we die!" 14 God-of-the-Angel-Armies whispered to me his
verdict on this frivolity: "You'll pay for this outrage until the day you
die." The Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, says so. TM
Matthew 6:16 “When you fast, do not
look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others
they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will
not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is
unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. NIV
So, then I looked up the term work
horse, or angels and horses being sent out:
2 Chronicles 8:1 AT THE end of twenty
years, in which Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house, 2
The cities which Huram had given to [him] Solomon rebuilt and fortified, and
caused the Israelites to dwell there. 3 And Solomon took Hamath-zobah. 4 He
built Tadmor in the wilderness and all his store cities in Hamath. 5 Also he
built Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls,
gates, and bars, 6 And Baalath and all the store cities [he] had, and all
the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and all that
Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in
all his dominion. 7 All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites,
Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of Israel, 8 But descendants
of those who were left in the land, whom the Israelites had not destroyed--of
them Solomon made a levy for forced labor to this day. 9 But of the
Israelites Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war,
chiefs of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen. 10 These
were the chiefs of King Solomon's officers, 250 in authority over the people.
Zechariah 1:
1 IN THE eighth month, in the second
year [of the reign] of Darius, came the word of the Lord to Zechariah son of
Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, 2 The Lord was very angry with
your fathers. 3 Therefore say to them [the Jews of this day], Thus says the
Lord of hosts: Return to Me, says the Lord of hosts, and I will return to you;
it is the utterance of the Lord of hosts. 4 Be not as your fathers to whom the
former prophets cried, Thus says the Lord of hosts: Return now from your evil
ways and your evil doings; but they would not hear or listen to Me, says the
Lord. 5 Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever? 6
But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did
they not overtake and take hold of your fathers? So they repented and said, As
the Lord of hosts planned and purposed to do to us, according to our ways and
according to our doings, so has He dealt with us. 7 Upon the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month,
which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of the reign of Darius, the
word of the Lord came to Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the
prophet. Zechariah said, 8 I saw in the night [vision] and behold, a Man
riding upon a red horse, and He stood among the myrtle trees that were in a low
valley or bottom, and behind Him there were horses, red, bay or flame-colored,
and white. 9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who talked
with me said, I will show you what these are. 10 And the Man who stood among
the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord has sent to
walk to and fro through the earth and patrol it. 11 And the men on the horses
answered the Angel of the Lord Who stood among the myrtle trees and said, We
have walked to and fro through the earth [patrolling it] and behold, all the
earth sits at rest [in peaceful security]. 12 Then the Angel of the Lord said,
O Lord of hosts, how long will You not have mercy and lovingkindness for
Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which You have had indignation these
seventy years [of the Babylonian captivity]? 13 And the Lord answered the angel
who talked with me with gracious and comforting words. 14 So the angel who
talked with me said to me, Cry out, Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous
for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 15 And I am very
angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was but a little
displeased, they helped forward the affliction and disaster. 16 Therefore thus
says the Lord: I have returned to Jerusalem
with compassion (loving kindness and mercy). My house shall be built in it,
says the Lord of hosts, and a measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem [with a view to
rebuilding its walls]. 17 Cry yet again, saying, Thus says the Lord of
hosts: My cities shall yet again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord shall
yet comfort Zion and shall yet choose Jerusalem. 18 Then I
lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, four horns [symbols of strength]. 19 And
I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me,
These are the horns or powers which have scattered Judah,
Israel, and Jerusalem. 20 Then the Lord showed me four
smiths or workmen [one for each enemy horn, to beat it down]. 21 Then said I,
What are these [horns and smiths] coming to do? And he said, These are the
horns or powers that scattered Judah
so that no man lifted up his head. But these smiths or workmen have come to
terrorize them and cause them to be panic-stricken, to cast out the horns or
powers of the nations who lifted up their horn against the land of Judah
to scatter it.
Zechariah 6:
1 AND AGAIN I lifted up my eyes and
saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the
mountains were mountains of firm, immovable bronze. 2 The first chariot had red
or bay horses, the second chariot had black horses, 3 The third chariot had
white horses, and the fourth chariot had dappled, active, and strong horses. 4
Then I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 And the
angel answered me, These are the four winds or spirits of the heavens, which go
forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The
chariot with the black horses is going forth into the north country, and the
white ones are going forth after them [because there are two northern powers to
overcome], and the dappled ones are going forth toward the south country. 7 And
[the chariots with] the strong [horses] went forth and sought to go that they
might patrol the earth. And [the Lord] said to them, Go, walk to and fro
through the earth and patrol it. So they walked about through the earth
[watching and protecting it]. 8 Then He summoned me and said to me, Behold,
these that go toward the north country have quieted My Spirit [of wrath] and
have caused it to rest in the north country. 9 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 10
Accept donations and offerings from these [as representatives of the] exiles,
from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon; and
come the same day and go to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah. 11 Yes,
take from them silver and gold, and make crowns and set [one] upon the head of
Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, 12 And say to him, Thus says
the Lord of hosts: [You, Joshua] behold (look at, keep in sight, watch) the Man
[the Messiah] whose name is the Branch, for He shall grow up in His place and
He shall build the [true] temple of the Lord. 13 Yes, [you are building a
temple of the Lord, but] it is He Who shall build the [true] temple of the
Lord, and He shall bear the honor and glory [as of the only begotten of the
Father] and shall sit and rule upon His throne. And He shall be a Priest upon
His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between the two [offices--Priest
and King]. 14 And the [other] crown shall be [credited] to Helem (Heldai), to
Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to the kindness and favor of Josiah the son of
Zephaniah, and shall be in the temple of the Lord for a reminder and memorial.
15 And those who are far off shall come and help build the temple of the Lord,
and you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord sent me [Zechariah]
to you. And [your part in this] shall come to pass if you will diligently obey
the voice of the Lord your God.
