The Four Quarters of the Earth

3209.—J. M. J.—Four Quarters.—"The four quarters of the earth" referred to in Revelation and elsewhere simply means all parts of the earth. It is a general expression including all points of the compass, and so embracing within its circle the whole earth. The angels standing on the four corners of the earth are represented as holding the winds of universal strife or war. The four quarters of the earth means from every direction, north, east, south, or west.
