Well, we're coming to Zechariah
chapter 6 this week, and I've given the title of Four Chariots
from Between Two Mountains to this message. It's the first
eight verses of Zechariah chapter 6. I've been saying for a while
it's about two and a half thousand years ago. Well, I looked up
some history, and it's 2,544 years ago this year that this
was given, because we know when the reign of Darius was. And this was in the second year
of Darius, and that information is given at the start of the
prophecy. 2,544 years ago, in one night,
God gave to Zechariah nine visions, nine messages from heaven about
God's eternal purposes. His purposes to triumph over
Satan and all rebellion against his rightful rule. He gave these
visions to encourage the people of that time who had returned
to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity, that they must get
on with the work of building the temple, rebuilding the temple
that had been destroyed, and rebuilding and re-fortifying
the walls of Jerusalem. Worship, true worship, the worship
of God must be restored in those days. Because why? Because that
worship pictures Christ. That's what it's for. It pictures
Christ. The animal sacrifices, the priesthood,
it all pictures Christ. It must be restored so that in
this world of Satan's kingdom that there be a clear testimony
to the truth of God. And in those days before Christ
came, it was in that temple and that temple worship. The message
was that God's multitude of eternally loved sinners must be justified. Why? for Satan to be defeated. Satan is defeated when God's
multitude of eternally loved sinners are justified from the
condemnation of the law, from the curse of sin. He will be
defeated and God's kingdom will triumph in that. But the returned
exiles come back from 70 years of captivity in Babylon, they'd
lost sight of the goal, they'd lost sight of their objective.
And as for so many, It's easy to settle into worldly comfort.
If you read Haggai's prophecy, which is the one before this,
it's at the same time. And God is saying to them via
Haggai, you're all very comfortable, aren't you? And you're nicely
furnished and plastered and sealed houses. You've made sure that
you're comfortable domestically. And this house lies in ruins. You've got to get on with it,
is what he's saying to them. It's easy to settle into worldly comfort. And it's easy for us today, isn't
it? It's easy for us. Being a believer,
holding to the truth of God in this world sets you at odds with
this world. You're a stranger, you're out
of touch with what this world loves and what it thinks and
what it does. If you are among God's people,
and how are you among them, by sanctification of the Spirit
and belief of the truth of the Gospel, it's His Kingdom that
is your goal, not the world and its things. Oh yes, we use them,
we make use of them, but the world and its things, that's
not your goal, it's the Kingdom of God. Set your hearts on the
Kingdom of God, because that is not just your fleeting, for
a moment, like the flower of the field, flowers and it fades
and it's gone in no time. It's your eternal abode. It's
your eternal abode. So the heavenly visions to Zechariah
apply not only to those people in that day, 2,500 plus years
ago, to give them a boost to get on with the work of rebuilding
that temple, it applies to God's people in all ages and it applies
to us today. I'll quickly remind you He'd
given them seven visions by the time we get to the end of chapter
five. The first, well, first of all, he calls for them to
turn to him, turn to him. He says, I will turn to you.
This is God saying to his people, if you turn to me, I will turn
to you. shouldn't we shouldn't we do
that if you turn to me i will turn to you he says and then
he gives these visions and he says i am with you in this world
you feel that everything is against you but god is with you he says
that to us today in this world that is full of lies and error
and corruption and evil and war and All of these things, all
of the things of the kingdom of Satan, he says to his people,
I am with you in this world. And he says, I'm very jealous
about my kingdom. filled with love for it, and
I hate anything that will try and stop it coming to fruition.
He's determined his kingdom will succeed. And all these world
powers that seem so immense, I mean, which of us is going
to do anything about the might of Russia, or China, or the United
States of America, any of that? Horns, horns, he says, in this
second vision. He says, don't fear them. I'm
sending forth my carpenters, my preachers. And they're going
to fray these kingdoms. What are they going to fray them
with? What are the weapons? The weapons of God are His Word and
His Spirit. The weapons of God are the preaching
of the gospel of His grace. How did the people of God overcome
Satan? In Revelation chapter 12, by
the blood of the Lamb. It was the message of the blood
of the Lamb that overcame him, that defeated him. And then he
shows them how individuals are made the righteousness of God
in the one who is the branch. Take Joshua's filthy clothes
off him, take my sin off me and clothe me with that robe of righteousness,
the robe of the garments of salvation, and put a mitre on the head of
every one of his people. And that mitre says, holiness
to the Lord, as it did on the priest in Exodus. And he shows
them how he does that. And then he shows them the church,
what they're part of. The kingdom of God in this world
is a light in this world. Christ is the light of this world.
His people shine that light. They're the candlesticks. His
churches are the candlesticks. And it's fed with the oil of
God's spirit. that keeps those lamps going.
And then he shows them why he must have his kingdom triumph,
because this world lies under the righteous requirements of
God, the flying sheet, the flying roll, the flying scroll, that
which says, this is how you get access to God, perfectly keep
the law. This do and you shall live, but
of course we cannot keep the law. We cannot keep the law.
And he shows them that the whole world is under that requirement
of God to perfectly keep the law, yet we can't do it. And
so it points us, it drives us, schoolmaster to drive us to Christ.
And then he shows the manifestation of the wickedness, which is false
religion, which is the woman in the Ifar, which is contained
by God, but that is all of the the root of the evil, which is
false religion, the wickedness, the wicked woman, it's false
religion, the woman of Revelation chapter 17, it's restrained by
God and it must be taken away, either to hell or be taken away
by Christ on the cross for his people. And this is the point,
we're all in it somewhere. I think it's in one of the books
of Samuel, it uses a A fascinating expression, it talks about the
bundle of life, the bundle of life. We're all in this bundle
of life somewhere, all intertangled. We're either on the broad way
that leads to destruction, or we're on the narrow way that
leads to the celestial city, to life. But we're all in this
bundle of life somewhere. And this bundle of life seems
so confused and tangled, often rather than being straight and
narrow. And so, we're given this eighth
vision in the first part of chapter six, and it's intended to calm
the fears of God's people. Then, two and a half thousand
years ago, down all the ages, and us today. Their fears were
that they wouldn't complete the building, the rebuilding of the
temple. Our fears might be that God's kingdom might not triumph
with us in it. That might be our fears. But
this vision is to calm those fears. What do we see in it?
Let's look at it. Two mountains of brass. I turned
and lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, there came four chariots
out from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains
of brass. Mountains in the scripture symbolize
power. I referred a lot to Revelation
17 last week, and you could look at it again, but we won't do
for the sake of time. I'll just tell you what it says.
In Revelation 17 verse 9, it talks about seven heads on which
the woman, the false woman, the woman of false religion sits.
These are mountains. These are powers. These are worldly
empires. And then it goes on to list them.
And as I say, we're not going into detail now, but you can
follow them down Old Testament, ancient history, and then down
into the age in which we live. These are worldly powers on which
the woman sits. The woman of false religion derives
her power and her status from the powers of this world. But by contrast to that, God's
power is a righteous power. Psalm 36 verse 6 says this, thy
righteousness is like the great mountains. These are the great
mountains of the righteousness of God. The power of God is a
righteous power, unlike the world's powers. It's pictured as being
mountains of brass. Brass is solid metal. Brass is hard metal. Brass is
incorruptible metal. It's not brittle like cast iron.
It's immovable. This is the picture. The mountains
of God's power form an unchanging valley. Do you see that? They
come out, the chariots come out from between two mountains. Imagine
the mountains, there's a valley between them. And these mountains
are unmovable. These mountains, the mountains
of God's righteous power, form an unchanging valley from which
all of the events of space and time flow out. Is that not a
comforting thought? The mountains of God's righteous
power form a valley out of which comes all, all of the outworkings
of the purposes of God. A song used to be sung, I remember
it being sung many years ago, We do not know what lies ahead,
we cannot see, but the chorus went like this, you'll probably
remember it. I know who holds the future, and he'll guide me
with his hand. With God, things don't just happen,
everything by him is planned. We read Romans chapter eight
earlier, and we're going to come back and refer to it later. We
know that all things, all things work together. for good. To whom? To them that love God, who are
the called according to his purpose. So that what should we say about
that? If God before us, who can be against us? Are you inclined
to worry in your flesh in this? Oh, what about? Such and such,
I wake up in the night and my stomach's churning because this
might happen. Paul says to the Philippians in chapter four and
verse six, he says, be careful. He doesn't mean be slap hazard.
He means be full of care over nothing. Be anxious for nothing.
Don't worry, don't worry. Well, what should you do? He
tells you in that same verse, Philippians four, verse six,
tell God. Tell God, bring it to him in
prayer and leave it with him because he controls all things.
Everything that happens in this world flows out from the valley
bounded by God's righteous unchangeable decrees. That's what this vision
is picturing, I'm sure of it. What do you mean? Well, think
about the spectrum of things that happen to God's people in
this world. Well, to all people, but to God's
people especially. Think about, at one end of the
spectrum, the suffering of Job. Are the children of God immune
from the sufferings of this life? Absolutely not. Look at the suffering
of Job, at one end of the spectrum. And at the other end of the spectrum,
look at Solomon, in all of his glory and the prosperity and
the magnificence and the wonder of his kingdom. The whole spectrum,
from suffering to glory, all of it is the purpose of God for
his people. All things work together for
good, eternal good, to those who love God, who are called
according to his purpose. Even the things that happen to
Job? Yes, especially the things that happen to Job. All things. God's purposes are as unchangeable
as these brass mountains. They're not going to change.
In Numbers 23 verse 19, we read, God is not a man that he should
lie. If God's told you something in
his word, he's not going to change his mind. Nothing's going to
change it. Oh, that happened, I didn't realize
that. What's going to knock your government off course, Mr. Macmillan?
A journalist asked him years ago. Events, dear boy, events.
Events are not going to knock God off his purpose. God's purpose
is unchangeable. His counsel stands forever. There is, as James says, the
epistle of James, there is no variableness with him. None whatsoever. God is the same yesterday, today,
and forever. But the way that that power flows
out from the valley between these two mountains of the righteous,
unmovable purposes of God, it's different for the objects of
his grace and those who are not, the world in general. If you
look at 2 Corinthians chapter 2, it tells us that there. In
verse 15 of 2 Corinthians chapter 2, we read that we are unto God
a sweet saver of Christ in them that are saved and in them that
are perished. You see, it applies to all the
world, the things that God has done for his people. To the one,
to those that perish, we are the saver of death unto death.
You going around, me, believers going around with our philosophy
of life, which is the gospel of Christ, We're a fragrance,
or you can say we're a smell to the world. We're a savor of
death because what we preach and what we believe is to those
that do not believe, it's a savor of death unto death. And to the
other, those that are being saved, to those who hear the gospel
of grace and believe it and trust it, we're a savor of life unto
life. It's life in the words, the gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Who is sufficient for these things?
So the way that that flows out into this world is different
for different people. And so we then see, what is it
that comes out from between these two immovable brass mountains
of the righteous purposes of God? It's, behold, there came
four chariots out from between the two mountains, and the first
chariots were red horses, Second, black horses. The third, white
horses. The fourth, gray, grizzled and
bay horses. What are these? What are these?
Then, verse five, the angel answered and said unto me, these are the
four spirits of the heavens which go forth from standing before
the Lord of all the earth. These are the four spirits of
the heavens. Why four? Well, four speaks of
creation. Four speaks of the world. It
sounds pretty obvious and simple, but North, South, East and West.
We talk about... I mean, we know the globe, the
Earth is a globe, but we talk about the four corners of the
world, don't we? We talk about the four corners
of the world. So these chariots symbolize the movement of the
Spirit of God in this world. This is what these spirits are.
It symbolizes the movement of the Spirit of God in this world,
as he moved on the face of the waters at creation. It reads,
the Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters. In the same
way, it's the Spirit of God. These chariots, with the different
colored horses, represent the movement of the Spirit of God
on this creation. is similar to the horses of Revelation
chapter 6. In Revelation chapter 6, we read
about four horses as the seals of the scroll in the hand of
God, on the hand of God. As that scroll is opened, and
they're called forth, there's a white horse, and then a red
horse, and then a black horse, and then a greenish-gray horse. And the white horse symbolizes
the gospel truth of God, the truth of saving grace. The red
horse speaks of war between the nations. You know, people get
together. to pray for peace between nations. God has sent forth the red horse
of Revelation 6 into this world. That's why there's war. Because
this kingdom of Satan can never become a replacement for the
kingdom of God. It cannot triumph. So he sends
that forth. He sends forth the black horse
in Revelation 6 of economic, I'll call it economic polarization. Because when you read there,
There's symbolized in that vision extreme poverty and at the same
time hideous, obscene wealth is all there portrayed in that
black horse, in that vision in Revelation 6. And then the greenish-grey
horse goes forth and that's the horse of death to which each
and every one of us is subject, even God's people, all of us
are subject to that. He sends it into this world.
In this world there is no escape from any of those things. All
of them are called forth into the world in accordance with
the scroll of God's eternal purpose for the triumph of his kingdom.
That's in Revelation 6. that the representation here
of the same coloured horses is exactly the same, but it does
say this, that God controls and directs all things to accomplish
his eternal purposes. Everything that happens in this
world, that we are subject to, that we experience, flows out
from the valley between God's unchangeable, unstoppable, eternal
purposes of grace and righteousness for his kingdom's triumph. He's
going to triumph. So how do they do that? How do
they do that? Well, it says they're chariots.
The chariots come out with these different colored horses. What
are the chariots? What are chariots? Chariots are
instruments of warfare. Chariots, they're not instruments
of transport, they're instruments of warfare. Look at Psalm 68. Well, you don't need to look,
I'll read it out for you. Psalm 68 and verse 17 says this,
the chariots of God are 20,000. Even thousands of angels, the
Lord is among them, as in Sinai in the holy place. Chariots are
angels. It speaks of angels as chariots. Hebrews 1 verse 14 says, are
not the angels all ministering spirits to accomplish the purpose
of God? It's using them interchangeably.
Chariots, angels, they're ministering spirits to accomplish the purpose
of God. These are the means by which
God's will is enacted in this world. They flow out through
that valley between the unchangeable brass mountains of God's righteous
purposes. In 2 Kings 2 and verse 11, we
see Elijah is taken to heaven. He didn't die, he was taken to
heaven. In what? A chariot of fire. A chariot
of fire. And then if you look a few chapters
further on in 2 Kings, I know I've referred to this very often,
but I find it absolutely wonderful, this. 2 Kings chapter 6, there's
Elisha who took on the mantle of Elijah. That's what he prayed
for, give me the mantle of Elijah, and God gives it to him. And
he's there, and they're in a tricky situation, because the Syrians,
interesting, isn't it? You hear these nations these
days, don't you? Exactly the same nations. But they're surrounded
by the Syrians, and they're scared. And Elisha's servant is scared
half to death. And verse 15 of 2 Kings chapter
6, when the servant of the man of God, of Elisha, Got up early,
was risen early, and gone forth. Behold, a host compassed the
city, both with horses and chariots. There are Syrians all around
them. And his servant said to Elisha, Alas, my master, how
shall we do? We've had it, there's no hope
for us. And Elisha answered him, Fear
not, for they that be with us are more than they that be with
them. And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes
that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes
of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was
full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Isn't
that amazing? Isn't that wonderful? It's like
that. Don't think that's just for those thousands of years
ago. That's now. Children of God, today, we're
surrounded by the angels of God, the chariots of God, accomplishing
his purposes, God's chariots of fire. In Habakkuk, in chapter
three and verse eight of Habakkuk, God is said to ride upon his
horses and his chariots of salvation. God, it's using the same terminology,
isn't it? And in a few verses later, verse
13 of Habakkuk 3, God went forth. Why did God go forth? For the
salvation of his people. That's why he did. God came from
heaven. God came from heaven. to save
his people from their sins, hence call his name Jesus. An angel
is a messenger. An angel in scripture is a messenger. Supremely, the angel of the Lord
is God the Word. In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. supremely the
Word of God, Christ the Word, is the angel of the Lord. He
is the Lord, as Malachi says, he is the Lord whom ye seek,
who shall suddenly come to his temple. Even the messenger, angel,
the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold, he
shall come, says the Lord of hosts. But then there's his under-messengers. What does he say in Revelation
1-3? right unto the angel of the church of Ephesus, right
unto the angel of the church of Sardis, right unto the angel
of the church of Thyatira, and go on. I'm going to run out of
the ability to remember them all in a minute. But the angels
of the churches are the pastors, the preachers. Sent by God with
his word. It's his word that accomplishes
his purpose. You look in Revelation How is
the kingdom rested back from Satan's control? How is Satan
defeated? It's by the Word of God It's
by that sharp two-edged sword that goes from the mouth of the
Lord Jesus Christ If these chariots and I'm saying I don't I'm not
trying to align them up with Revelation 6 there might be some
way in which they do But I cannot see that directly. But if these
chariots and these horses represent nothing else, surely... they
primarily signify God's ministry gifts sent into the world. Like
it's Ephesians that talks about the ministry gifts of prophets
and apostles and teachers and evangelists and his witnesses
in this world. The carpenters of the second
vision in chapter one. The carpenters, the preachers
sent with his word to do what? To fray the world powers. frustrate
their purposes of trying to destroy the kingdom of God. And look
what it says in verse 7. They walk to and fro through
the earth. They walk to and fro. Go into
all the world and preach the gospel. And lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Why? Because faith
comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Whosoever
shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. But how
can you call on that that you don't know, you've not heard
of, you haven't heard it preached, you've got to have a preacher.
So, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God preached. Because why? It pleased God. Through the foolishness of preaching.
What the world regards as foolishness. The message that By the death
of a substitute, the people of God are saved from their sins. The foolishness of preaching,
it pleased God to save those who believe. But what are they
to preach? What are they to witness? What
are they to declare in this world? And I think there's a hint of
it in verse eight. In verse eight, behold, these that go toward
the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. They're to preach that which
quiets the Spirit of God. What is it that quiets the Spirit
of God? The answer is that it's the gospel
of God's unchangeable grace to the multitude he loved before
the beginning of time. It's that which quiets the spirit
of God. Because God is angry with the
wicked every day. Our God is a consuming fire.
But his spirit is quieted by justice satisfied. You know this
verse in Isaiah 53, two verses. Isaiah 53, verse 10. It pleased
the Lord to bruise him. It pleased the Lord to bruise
his darling son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? Because it quiets
his spirit. in the courts of divine justice.
He hath put him to grief. When thou shalt make his soul
an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong
his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his
hand. He shall see the travail of his soul. the work, the labor
of the soul of Christ saving his people from their sins. And
God shall be satisfied. His soul will be quieted. By
his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, for he
shall bear their iniquities. The death of God's Son as the
substitute for his elect multitude has quieted the Spirit of God. It's made peace through the blood
of the cross. This is what the messengers of
God proceeding from between the eternal righteous purposes of
God are to proclaim in this world of sin. Because by preaching,
God is pleased to gather his kingdom's citizens. It's by preaching
that he does it. So come to Romans chapter 8,
which we read earlier, and I want to spend the rest of our time,
brief as it is, in Romans chapter 8, verses 28, down a few verses. I know it's so well known, I
know it's so often preached on, but just let me remind you, and
maybe you'll see how the vision that we've just seen in the start
of chapter 6 of Zechariah, it's implicit in that vision, but
Paul makes it absolutely explicit here. Verse 28, we know that
all things work together for good. Lots of people just stop
there and cross their fingers and say, oh, God makes all things
work out. No, it's to them that love God. Is that you? Is that me? Do you
love me? Do you remember Jesus said to
Peter, after his resurrection, he said, Peter, do you love me?
Three times he asked him, Peter, do you love me? Do you love me?
Do you love God? Do you love him? Do we love him? Why do we love him? If we do
love him, why do we love him? Because he first loved us. That's
why we love him. They work together for good to
this people who love God because he first loved them. To them
who are the called according to his purpose. Called according
to his purpose because these mountains of brass are unmovable. God will save his people from
their sins. Verse 29, he says, for whom he
did foreknow. It's not, as I've said many times,
it's not that he looked into a crystal ball like Gypsy Lee
and worked out what was going to happen in the future. He foreknew
it because he foreordained it. God foreordained everything.
He foreordained it. He loved his people from eternity,
before time, with an everlasting love. We are chosen in Christ
from before the foundation of the world, says Paul to the Ephesians.
In 2 Timothy chapter one, he has saved us and called us with
an holy calling, not according to our works, which we have done,
but according to his purpose of grace. When did he give it
to us? Before the world began. He predestinated His people to
be conformed to the image of His Son. He predestinated us,
and if God has predestinated us, God who cannot lie, God who
cannot change, we're going to be in the image of His Son. We're
going to be with Him. We're going to be like His Son.
We shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. everything
predestinated, all things work together for good. The chariots
go out from between those unmovable mountains to accomplish his purpose
for you and me, children of God, for you and me, his purpose of
everything in this world. We're so We're so limited and
puny in our space-time existence. We can only think of being able
to think of one thing at once. Maybe multitask, some claim to
multitask. God is infinite. We just so little
understand How great is our God? You know, they glibly sing choruses
that say it, but it's the fact. God is infinite in his ability
at all times. You know, he hears prayer of
all his people wherever they be. He orders all events of everything. It says that even a sparrow doesn't
fall to the ground without he knows it and he ordains it. All
things, all things. My times, says the psalmist,
my times are in thy hand, the hand of God, everything. He orders
my steps and everything all around to accomplish my eternal state
of being in his kingdom. He predestinated me, a sinner,
to be made like his son. You've got to mull that over,
haven't you? You know, he predestinated me, a sinner, to be made like
his son. And he, the son, is the firstborn
among many brethren. He is the firstborn among many
brethren. All the children given by the
father to the son, behold, I and the children that he has given
me. Those he called, sorry, Moreover, whom he did predestinate,
them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified,
and whom he justified, them he also glorified. He called his
people. He gave them the name of the
family of God in eternity. And then he called them in time
by the preaching of the gospel. And he put his people into union. With whom? with the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13.8 says that. He
put his people in union, in union, in unchangeable union, in unbreakable
union with his Son, who is the Lamb slain from the foundation
of the world. He wrote the names of his people,
the innumerable multitude. He wrote the names of his people
in the Lamb's Book of Life. That's the name, that's the book
to have your name in, the Lamb's Book of Life. And He called them
in time by Holy Spirit quickening, by His Spirit going forth and
making alive, making His people willing in the day of His power.
Psalm 110 verse 3. He justified them by His death
on the cross. He justified them. I don't believe
He justified us by His works of righteousness which He performed
as a man. Undoubtedly, he did. I believe
he did that to show that he was the Lamb of God, a fitting Passover
lamb. But he justified us by his death. The law requires death, and the
life is in the blood, and he must shed his blood that he might
make his people the righteousness of God in him, and fit his people
for heaven, and glorify his people. Now, it says, you are seated
in heavenly places in Christ. And John looked and saw much
people in heaven. And I believe truly that in eternity
all the people of God are sat there now. That's what I believe.
This is the outworking of these horse-drawn chariots coming out
of the valley between God's immutable purpose of grace. What can stop
it? Nothing. Can Satan's accusations stop
it? Who shall lay any charge to God's elect? Can't do it,
because Christ has died. What can separate us from the
love of God? He lists things. Can height or
depth or any of... Nothing can separate the people
of God from the love of God. And that love of God will preserve
us into eternity. None of the happenings of life
can do that. All these things flowing out
are according to the purpose of God. And so therefore, We
are more than conquerors, verse 37. Nothing can frustrate what
God has determined to accomplish for the multitude he loved everlastingly. And nothing can avoid his just
judgment in the rebellion of Satan's kingdom. Nothing can
avoid that. And what do we say to these things?
He takes all of his people to eternal glory and he will be

the good news of God. Can you hear it? Can you hear
Him speaking to you? Amen.
