3143. And there is room for the camels. That this signifies a state for all things that would be serviceable to Him, is evident from the signification of “room,” as being state (see above, n. 1273-1277, 1376-1381, 2625); and from the signification of “camels,” as being general memory-knowledges (see n. 3048, 3071). That these are things for service may be seen above (n. 1486, 3019, 3020); for all things that belong to the natural man are for no other use than to serve the spiritual; wherefore also menservants, maidservants, camels, and asses, in the internal sense chiefly signify the things which belong to the natural man.

This is clear from the meaning of 'taking as a people', when said by Jehovah or the Lord, as receiving among those who are in heaven. For those in heaven are called the Lord's people, which they are also called when they are in the world because so far as their souls are concerned they are at that time too in heaven, see 687, 697, 3255, 4067, 4073, 4077. The reason why the words under consideration here mean that those who belong to the spiritual Church will be added to those in heaven who serve the Lord there is that before the Lord's Coming those people were held back on the lower earth, and were raised into heaven when the Lord rose again, at which point they were added to those there who serve the Lord, see 6854, 6914, 7090 (end).
