Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze. Zechariah 6:1

Once again we see the expression “raised my eyes” which means Zechariah is receiving a prophetic message from God. Now the first clear thing here is the parallel to the 4 horsemen in Revelation, (reference Revelation 6:1-8) This vision is clearly about the 4 horsemen, the 4 spirits from God that are bringing judgement upon Israel until the Millennial Kingdom is setup with Christ 

And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. Revelation 6:2

Another symbol to point out there is the 2 bronze mountains, bronze is symbolic of judgement in the Bible, and the two mountains are most likely Mt, Zion and the Mt, of Olives, where Christ will return 

And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. Zechariah 14:4

With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds. Zecharian 6:2-3

The color of the horses is revealed, again similar to Revelation 6:1-8, Red is typically symbolic of blood/war/judgement. 

4Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword. Revelation 6:4

The black horse is symbolic of death/famine.

Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. 6And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius,a and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine. Revelation 6:5-6

 Now the good news is white is typically symbolic of peace and victory, where in Revelation 6 we see the white robes of the martyred saints.

11Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed. Revelation 6:11

Probably the most mysterious of the symbols is the dappled horses, which appear to be a blend/mixture of many things. This could represent a combination of judgement, such as war and famine, or it could be symbolic of the gifts of the Holy Spirit among Gods messengers. Its a strong force that will bring victory to Christ’s Kingdom

Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?” And the angel answered and said to me, “These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth. Zechariah 6:4-5

Once again Zechariah asked the question , “What are these”? And  messenger explains them for us, “These are four spirits of Heaven” So the Four Horseman , these 4 Spirits are sent by God to fulfill his Will and purpose

The one with the black horses is going to the north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.” Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth. And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth. Zechariah 6:6-7

God’s judgement will be to the entire world, “throughout the Earth” However remember a few things, God is in complete control (Psalm 46:10) and we have Victory in Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)

And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in the north country.” Zechariah 6:8

This is such a beautiful way to end this vision, despite all the judgement and turmoil, Gods Spirit is still at rest, we can have true Rest and peace in Christ, because Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33)

Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.” So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.” He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: Zechariah 5:5-6

The prophet Zechariah is once again getting another vision delivered an angel (messanger) notice the phrase once again “Life your eyes now” , I noted in the last section, God will use this phrase to call attention to what he is about to reveal

This vision God is showing Zechariah a basket, the nice part of this section is the angel deciphers the message for the prophet. The basket is symbolic of their (Israel’s) resemblance (sin) throughout the Earth

Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. Zechariah 5:7-8

The woman is symbolic of the “whore of Babylon” (Revelation 17:5) This is the false religious system that has corrupted Gods people and led them astray.  As the angel confirms “This is Wickedness”!

And on her forehead a mysterious name was written: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:5

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. Zechariah 5:9

First notice once again, Zechariah “raised my eyes and looked up” this symbolizes a divine message is being given by God. The vision of the two women is actually an unusual symbol not seen really in scripture except for Revelation. The noted symbol is the stork, which is considered an unclean animal, therefor this is not a blessing sent from God but judgment

Remember the basket was symbolic of the sin of Gods people, therefor these two women are agents of Gods wrath being poured upon Israel

But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time. Revelation 12:14

So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.” Zechariah 5:10-11

Another key clue here is the “land of Shinar” this was another name for Babylon. (Genesis 10:10) This point to the final evil empire of Babylon, which is part of the Anit-Christ and the false religious system that will persecute and kill Christians. 

And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Genesis 10:10

This Empire will bring judgement upon the world, this is pointing to the return of Christ, when He destroys this evil empire forever and the Millenial Kingdom is set here on Earth

And he cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast. Revelation 18:2
