Zechariah 6

Message: Vision of Four Chariots and then the crowning of Jeshua, the High Priest

Time: Written during the building of the temple -- 520-516BC

What the Lord is Saying: 

4 Chariots (red horses, black horses (north), white horses (west), powerful dappled-gray horses (south)) coming from behind 2 bronze mountains. This represents the 4 spirits of heaven who stand before the Lord. This could depict our Creator's thorough knowledge of all that takes place on the earth. They are going to do his work. They are going to patrol the earth. The black horses have vented the anger of My Spirit in the north.

This vision could be a statement from the Lord to His people that the people can work on the rebuilding of the temple and he will keep things calm throughout the earth. Enemies would be kept at bay. 

-------------------

Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah will bring gifts of silver and gold from the Jews. Meet them and make a crown of the silver and gold to be worn by Jeshua. The passage then speaks of the Branch, but it appears to be distinct from Jeshua. The Branch will build the temple of the Lord (future temple, not the current one we have been talking about). He will receive royal honor and rule as king. He will serve as priest.

The crown didn't remain on Jeshua's head, but instead was placed in the temple as a memorial. 

Promise: Christ will rebuild His temple. Christ will rebuild His Church. He is the architect. He will finish the job no matter the opposition. The Church must be honored it all its forms.
