“I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. speckled: or, bay”
Zechariah 1:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Zechariah 1:8
The first vision begins: 'I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.' The night vision suggests divine revelation through dreams. The 'man' on the red horse likely represents the Angel of the LORD (pre-incarnate Christ, v. 11). Red may symbolize war/judgment; speckled (or brown/sorrel) and white suggest variety. Myrtle trees in the 'bottom' (valley) create the scene. This mysterious vision introduces angelic reconnaissance reporting world conditions to God.
