7445. 'And I will place redemption between My people and your people' means the deliverance of those who belong to the spiritual Church from those in the hells nearby. This is clear from the meaning of 'redemption' as being led out of hell, dealt with in 7105, and from its specific use in reference to those who are being delivered from vastation, 2959; from the representation of the children of Israel, to whom 'My people' refers here, as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with above in 7439; and from the representation of the Egyptians, to whom 'your people' refers here, as those in the hells nearby who engage in molestation, dealt with in 7090. From all this it is evident that 'I will place redemption between My people and your people' means the deliverance of those who belong to the spiritual Church from those in the hells nearby.
