6658. 'And go up out of the land' means that the Church will have thereby been established. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up' as being raised up, raised up towards more internal aspects of the Church, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817, 6007; and from the meaning of 'the land', the land of Goshen in this instance, as the Church, dealt with above in 6649. Being raised up towards more internal aspects of the Church, meant by going up out of the land and coming into the land of Canaan, is what 'the Church will have been established' implies. The Church has, it is true, been established with a person when he is motivated by affection to do good, yet it has not been fully established until after he has fought against evils and falsities, thus after he has undergone temptations. Only after that does he become truly a Church, at which point he is brought into heaven, represented by the bringing of the children of Israel into the land of Canaan.

6007. 'And I will certainly cause you to come up also' means a raising up after that. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up' as a raising up, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 5406, 5817. The raising up meant here is an advance from factual knowledge to more internal ideas. For after such knowledge has been filled with truths in the way stated above in 6004, a person is raised up from it towards more internal ideas; and once that is done the factual knowledge serves him as the groundwork for his contemplations. Being raised up towards more internal ideas is thinking on a more internal level, and at length as spirits and angels do. The more internal the level to which thought rises, the more perfect it becomes because it is closer to the inflow of truth and goodness from the Lord. For thought can exist on more internal or more external levels, 5127, 5141.
