During the days of his meditation on the Pilgrim's Progress, the author had a strange dream in which he saw a young boy holding an umbrella over the head of an old-man (looking like John Bunyan) on their journey to a destination. The Holy Spirit spoke to the author that the young man was the author who was of the 21st century while the old man was of the 17th century. In the vision, both of them walked together. The author did not overtake John Bunyan but simply walked with him holding the umbrella of honour over the latter. This interpretation was made by the author during the outpouring of the "latter" rains (Joel 2:23).

The author has interpreted the important symbols, signs, etc in the Pilgrim’s Progress in a manner to be understood by the Christian community.
