Zechariah 6 brings the last of 8 night visions which ends with a symbolic act pointing to the Messiah. Zechariah saw 4 chariots with red, black, white and dappled horses respectively. An angel told him that these were "the four spirits of heaven" going in different directions around the earth symbolizing God's judgement on the nations. Then Zechariah was told to make a gold and silver crown and put it on the high priest Joshua. This symbolic act points to the coming Messiah called "the branch". "He will build the temple... be a priest on the throne... and there will be harmony between the two".
