A London Minister Zechariah 1:18-21 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.… Some consider the four horns represent the four kingdoms of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. Others look on them as types of the whole of the enemies of Israel coming from the four quarters of the earth. The same general truths are taught in either case. 1. That while the world powers continue, and the Church of God lives in their midst, the latter will be subjected to opposition and persecution. 2. That whatever number of foes the Church may have, God will take care to provide her with an equal number of friends. 3. That though there will ever be conflict between God's Church and her enemies, there will never be defeat but on one side. The strongest force must ultimately gain the day. We can account for the existence of the Church only from the fact that "God is in the midst of her." (A London Minister.)
