The eagle faces the left through history, from aincient roman standards to Nazi Germany, to the United States. Why does it always face the left or have a profile view from the left?

Although from our vantage, they are facing left, they are facing their own rights. It must just be tradition. There were several countries who used 2-headed eagles (Franks, Sumerians) to look vigilantly in both directions. Perhaps left facing looks towards the setting sun or in the case of the US, towards the uncolonized Western Indian lands which the settlers were then coveting.
The Roman standard linked below is facing the other direction. In the military it is always "eyes right", as troops past their reviewer from left to right, from the reviewer's vantage.

The beast of Revelation is Satan incarnate. The mark of the beast is a physical mark on the hand or forehead of those who worship the beast. The beast has been interpreted to be many things. The anti-Christ shall be the one to lead people to worship the beast and his image. A while back, it was suggested that computers where the beast and the mark would be a bar code or scan chip, and this mega computer would know all about you. One thing is sure, tho. During end times, no one will be able to buy or trade goods without the mark. The mark is a straight shot to the gates of hell, so if you are left behind, do not take it. You will be killed eventually when you get caught, but it's best not to take it. Read the Book of Revelation a few times. Make notes. The four beasts you talk of are not to be confused with the beast that is Satan. They used a lot of symbolism back then. Also remember, what John described as a scorpion with the faces of men and stingers in their tails and wings with sound of horses hoofs (or something like that), he could very well be discribing a helicopter. John could only describe things in the words he knew.

On the US seal the eagles faces toward the side with the olive branches and away from the side with the arrows. I m not sure to what extent that meaning is implied in other similar symbols.

I'm not sure about why it faces left. About the time of the US civil war, there was a change to the great seal of the US to have it face away from the arrows in one clenched talon (which symbolized war) and to face towards the olive branch in the other talons. This was to symbolize that the US preferred peace, but would resort to war to defend herself.

His lunch -a peanut butter sandwich and a bowl of chicken noodle soup- is over on a table to the left of him.
