It is always hard to see the purpose in wilderness wanderings until after they are over. 6. - John Bunyan

Then I saw that there was a way to hell, even from the gates of heaven.

There is a warning here for true pilgrims. Beware of the talker, but also be careful not to judge too quickly those whom God has blessed with both genuine grace and a fluency to speak of divine mercy in ways more eloquent than others. The proof is in the life-not a perfect life, but a life that both delights in divine truth and magnifies God, the only giver of the sovereign grace that always produces the truly fruitful, fragrant life.
3.

Dost thou love picking meat? Or wouldst thou see
A man in the clouds, and have him speak to thee?
