Although the biblical allusion to angelic visitation needs no explanation, its meaning is not so clear. The angel coming to Charlemagne's side once again shows God's support for Charlemagne's cause.

God not only stopped time for Charlemagne, but gave him more light, creating a clear divide as to whether Charlemagne's cause was sacred. Since light is good and darkness is the antithesis, this is figurative of the holy Christian cause compared to the corrupt Saracen
