The question is what does division mean in its general context? What I have just finished doing is researching the Hebrew versus Greek definitions of division! Through studying I will conclude in saying that we are not getting it because we are interpreting the Greek content when I believe we use the Hebrew definition it means distribution. Deliverance redeems after reviewing these meaning. One would say Deliverer and redeemer of the masses? To separate the few believers from those who are unbelievers.

Persecution and rebellion against the gospel of our Lord Jesus christ.

For example, if you are a member of a muslim family and by the grace of God, you encounter christ, the whole family will persecute you as a result of your new spiritual status.
There will be division in the family. You did not cause the division, also Jesus was not the real cause, it is the way your family respond to your new life in christ Jesus.

God bless you.
God2man.

Wesley's Notes for Luke 12:52
12:52 There shall be five in one house, three against two, and two against three - There being an irreconcilable enmity between the Spirit of Christ and the spirit of the world.

Wesley's Notes for Luke 12:51
12:51 Suppose ye that I am come to send peace upon earth - That universal peace will be the immediate effect of my coming? Not so, but quite the contrary. #Mt 10:34|.
