- 1And 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.
- 2In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
- 3And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
- 4Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
- 5And 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.
- 6The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
- 7And 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.
- 8Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
- 9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
- 10Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
- 11Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
- 12And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
- 13Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
- 14And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
- 15And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Watchman 33 identifies the green horse with Islam, connecting its historic color, global reach near one-quarter of humanity, sword imagery, state beheadings, and the tactics of named Islamist extremist groups.

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
In The Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Pastor Dean Odle warns against teachings that claim Christ already returned, the millennial reign has already occurred, and believers now live in Satan's 'little season.' He begins with the apostolic command to abide in the doctrine of Christ and to reject deceivers, then reads Matthew 24 as a chronological description of a future, unmistakable, worldwide return. Odle emphasizes that the sun and moon will be darkened, the stars will fall, heaven will be rolled back, the mountains and islands will be removed, every tribe will see Christ, and the elect will be gathered after the tribulation.

In “Leadership #6 - Study & Sermon Preparation,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about the authority of Scripture, God’s commandments, faith. Drawing especially from Proverbs 15:28, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Peter 3:15, Matthew 5, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that God’s commands reveal His standard and direct the obedient life.
