**four chariots**
The interpretation of the tenth vision must be governed by the authoritative declaration of [Zechariah 6:5](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/5). That which is symbolized by the four chariots with their horses is not the four world-empires of Daniel, but "the four spirits of heaven which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth" ([Zechariah 6:5](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/5)). These "spirits" are angels ; [Luke 1:19](../../../kjv/luke/1/19); [Hebrews 1:14](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/14) and are most naturally interpreted of the four angels of ; [Revelation 7:1-3](../../../kjv/revelation/7/1-3); [Revelation 9:14](../../../kjv/revelation/9/14); [Revelation 9:15](../../../kjv/revelation/9/15). These have also a ministry earthward, and of like nature with the "spirits" of [Zechariah 6:1-8](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/1-8). viz. judgment. The symbol (chariots and horses) is in perfect harmony with this. Always in Scripture symbolism they stand for the power of God earthward in judgment. ; [Jeremiah 46:9](../../../kjv/jeremiah/46/9); [Jeremiah 46:10](../../../kjv/jeremiah/46/10); [Joel 2:3-11](../../../kjv/joel/2/3-11) [Nahum 3:1-7](../../../kjv/nahum/3/1-7). The vision, then, speaks of the Lord's judgments upon the Gentile nations north and south in the day of the Lord ; [Isaiah 2:10-22](../../../kjv/isaiah/2/10-22); [Revelation 19:11-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/11-21).

**crowns**
Following the earth-judgments symbolized in the horsed chariots ([Zechariah 6:1-8](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/1-8)) comes the manifestation of Christ in His kingdom glory ([Zechariah 6:9-15](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/9-15)). This is the invariable prophetic order: first the judgments of the day of the Lord ; [Isaiah 2:10-22](../../../kjv/isaiah/2/10-22); [Revelation 19:11-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/11-21) then the kingdom (cf) ; [Psalms 2:5](../../../kjv/psalms/2/5); [Psalms 2:6](../../../kjv/psalms/2/6); [Isaiah 3:24-26](../../../kjv/isaiah/3/24-26); [Isaiah 4:2-6](../../../kjv/isaiah/4/2-6) ; [Isaiah 10:33](../../../kjv/isaiah/10/33); [Isaiah 10:34](../../../kjv/isaiah/10/34); [Isaiah 11:1-10](../../../kjv/isaiah/11/1-10); [Revelation 19:19-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/19-21); [Revelation 20:4-6](../../../kjv/revelation/20/4-6). This is set forth symbolically by the crowning of Joshua, which was not a vision, but actually done (cf) ; [Isaiah 8:3](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/3); [Isaiah 8:4](../../../kjv/isaiah/8/4); [Ezekiel 37:16-22](../../../kjv/ezekiel/37/16-22). The fulfilment in the BRANCH will infinitely transcend the symbol. He "shall bear the glory" ; [Zechariah 6:13](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/13); [Matthew 16:27](../../../kjv/matthew/16/27); [Matthew 24:30](../../../kjv/matthew/24/30); [Matthew 25:31](../../../kjv/matthew/25/31) as the Priest-King on His own throne ([Zechariah 6:12](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/12); [Zechariah 6:13](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/13); [Hebrews 7:1-3](../../../kjv/hebrews/7/1-3)). Christ is now a Priest, but still in the holiest within the veil ; [Leviticus 16:15](../../../kjv/leviticus/16/15); [Hebrews 9:11-14](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/11-14); [Hebrews 9:24](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/24) and seated on the Father's throne [Revelation 3:21](../../../kjv/revelation/3/21). He has not yet come out to take His own throne [Hebrews 9:28](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/28). The crowns made for the symbolical crowning of Joshua were to be laid up in the temple as a memorial to keep alive this larger hope of Israel.
