Life comes from the EAST Numbers "Now those who camp on the EAST side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah, by their armies, and the leader of the sons of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab, Judah is the tribe Jesus, The Messiah descended from Judah Ezekiel When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the LORD'S house, and the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory. And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city.

Moving east represents being in darkness and then light rising and shining upon your action.

From there you choose how to respond. It is negative, but also shows retribution for those in communion with God, a constructive correction, maybe a parallel with chastisement, and offers destruction to those not in relationship with God…tower of Babel. This is how I view this at the current time. It may not be pct accurate, but I do think the representation of correction through a trial and error is evident for those in communion with the LORD.

This also is how holiness ties into the negative connotation. Just trying to understand.. I think you are confused.. Things that come from God, like the locusts that plagued Egypt, came with the East wind… Scorching heat came with the East wind causing famine… Thus the plagues from the East are from God, and are inflicted upon the nations so they repent.

Revelation harmonizes with this view as well regarding the four horseman of the apocalypse pestilence, war, famine, and death. Ironic that Covid19 began in China? Maybe… Maybe more than that… Hope this helps! East is the direction where it is connected with holiness.

At the same time travelling east means going against the will of God. I am quite confused which direction we should head to. Something traveling towards the East is coming from the West and thus not holy. Remember, when Messiah returns he will come from the East. Then I also understand by saying that things from the east is holy because it is from God. God is holy. Then going to the east stands to reason that , moving with human nature unholy to a holy place is negative thus demands holiness which has to be Christ Jesus, the way upon which we can get to the Father in the east.

Therefore going to the east in Christ Jesus is no more a negative action. Glory to God. You head East to receive the Light which can only be obtained Eastward. But as you receive the Light, you are not to remain in the East but you are mandated to take that Light to the World which is in darkness and that is Westward. Probably stating the beginning of sin in the east where the garden is, and the end of sin, where the holies of holies is which was Jesus dying for our sins who tore the veil so that we all can be saved and once again have a relationship with our Lord and Savior.

How could he then sprinkle blood to the east? The only way would be to sprinkle the blood on the atonement cover, and then backwards, to the east, thus creating a straight vertical east-west line of blood. A cross of blood, which stretches to the north, south, east and west?
