Zecharia's Four Chariots

Zecharia 6
1 And 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.
2 In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
4 Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What [are] these, my lord?
5 And 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.

A question.  Who are the four spirits of the heavens?  The apostles? All missionaries?  All pastors? Whoever thy are, they went forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

To me, this passage is about God way and working in the world.

Zecharia 6
7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

I do not know why, but the phrase "walked to and fro" is, to me, the dearest phrase in the Bible.  I find more comfort in this passage than the twenty-third Psalm....

Revelations 7
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
