183. "'Behold, I will make them come and worship at your feet.'" This symbolically means that those who are caught up in falsities as regards doctrine, provided they are not falsities springing from evil, will accept the truths of the New Church and acknowledge them.
This is said of those people who are of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie, and they mean people caught up in falsities as regards doctrine, yet not in falsities springing from evil, but in falsities as regards doctrine while impelled by good as to life. These, and not people caught up in falsities springing from evil, accept and acknowledge truths when they hear them. That is because goodness loves truth, and truth in accord with goodness rejects falsity. To accept and acknowledge truths is what is symbolically meant by coming and worshiping at the feet - not at their feet, but at the feet of the Lord, from whom they have truths that accord with good. A similar symbolic meaning as the one here occurs, therefore, in this verse in the Psalms:
Worship Jehovah our God, worship at His footstool. (Psalms 99:5)
