Gen.2.10 "Four river heads"

"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."

The four angels in charge and their area of control are named in vv.11-14) What interests us is the gold in the land of Havilah, ' the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.'

The river runs straight from Eden to the garden and from thence it changes course so the lands mentioned fall under their charge. The gold signifies faith which gives the quality of the city of God.'and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass." The river beginning with Eden is qualified as pure, and it explains the quality of the blood of Jesus, "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." This river is the river of time.
