7066. 'That Jehovah had visited the children of Israel' means those who belonged to the spiritual Church - [their faith and hope] that they would be delivered and saved by the Lord's Coming. This is clear from the meaning of 'visiting' as deliverance through the Lord's Coming into the world, dealt with in 6895, and so salvation also (those who belonged to the spiritual Church were adopted and saved through the Lord's Coming into the world, see 6854, 6914, 7035); and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637. For the fact that 'Jehovah' in the Word is the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6281, 6703, 6905.
