Zech.6.1-7 In the vision of Zechariah the four spirits sent from the presence of God, "Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth."The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country." Nothing of east or west country, for a good reason. these are horses 'coming from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass'.
What we have in the book of Genesis is the river moving from the east country. Evidently we have heaven set in the vision of Zechariah and the formamanr named as Heaven set in the mid-air between heaven and the earth. In the gospel of St Matthew we have a reference to the east. " For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Mt.24.27) East serves yet another face so the coming of the Son of man has the context in terms of heaven. In the book of Ezekiel we have a crucial clue, "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God."(Ezek.28.13)
God blessed Adam even while Eve was yet to be created. "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."(Gen.5.2)
What the Holy Spirit sets down in 1.2 are two geneologies where the Spirit of God moves upon the face of the waters and the other is darkeness embodied by the covering cherub mentioned in the book of Ezekiel. One is a mountain of God and the other belongs to the cherub whose iniquity dubs king of Tyrus as the son of perdition.
In short the valley between two mountains of brass establishes judgment of God along north south. (Zech.6.1-7)
East west axis by the same token lays down the direction of Salvation. This face announces the Advent of the Son.
