Arcana Coelestia #5312
5312. 'And all my people shall kiss you on the mouth' means that everything there shall obey it. This is clear from the meaning of 'kissing on the mouth' as accepting and carrying out what is commanded, and so being obedient; and from the meaning of 'all my people' as everything in the natural. 'People' means truths, see 1259, 1260, 3581, 4619, and so cognitions of good and truth, also factual knowledge, present in the natural, since these are truths as they exist within the natural, 5276.
