Because of man's disobedience the course of the river from Eden is still the same but the blessing of man under the everlasting Covenant is Across from which the disobedient are excluded. For them curse is according to the provisions of the Law. It is how the Spirit sets the 10 plagues inflicted upon the land of Egypt as a petri dish for God's displeasure. Out of the river blood and frogs came and the dust of the ground produced lice upon man and beast. 'so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.' (8.18)
"the east wind brought the locusts."(Exod.10.13) Here we have the east direction as source of blessing because the river symbolises throne of God.
The river in the book of the Revelation is shown flowing between the Throne of God and of the Lamb. "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."(Rev.22.1)
Coming back to the four river heads symbolising four angels the judgment over Egypt came Up and Down. Over sodom it was same. "Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven." Jerusalem and Babylon it cannot be otherwise. (Rev.11.8) Of Babylon the angel did as was commanded.(Rev.18.1,21) "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all."
