Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6911

6911. 'Which I will do in the midst of it' means which will have a direct effect on them. This is clear from the meaning of 'the midst' as that which exists inwardly, dealt with in 1074, 1940, 2973, thus that which has a direct effect. For what has a direct effect on someone exists within him; but what does not have a direct effect remains outside, for it strikes him at a tangent and in part goes straight past him.
