 Okay. Okay. I'll come, everyone, to the continuing lecture on interpreting scripture. We're currently talking about types, illustrations, and allegories. So we're trying to understand types, the difference between types, illustrations, and allegories. And really allegories are things that, you know, people make up based using scripture, they make up things and then they give their own meaning. So there's no connection at all. Whereas types are specifically stated in scripture. And therefore we can use them confidently. Illustrations are also stated in scripture. But there's a variation, there's a difference between the type and the illustration in how we process them, how we work with them. Allegory are things we make up. So God never stated to be a comparison and meaning. And so we put meaning into it and then we come up with something. So I was trying to give some, you know, some examples of it and we will see a few more examples as we go along. So let's pick up from where we paused. I'm just going to go ahead and share the PDF so we can look at it. Okay. So we said, you know, in the type and the illustration, there is some resemblance, correspondence, and allegory, there is absolutely no correspondence. We are just forcing some meaning into it. Secondly, the type, there is historical reality, meaning it actually happened. In the illustration and truth, so in the type and anti-type, there is, you know, there is historical reality of both. So the type and the anti, the type and the anti-type, they've actually happened. In an illustration, something happened and it's pointing to some truth or it's bringing out some truth in the New Testament. Yeah, you know, some truth is brought out. But there is historical reality of something that happened, the illustration. It did happen. In allegory, you know, something may happen, but the literal meaning is later said. Like we mentioned, you know, David and Goliath, and the literal meaning is unimportant. Just some other meaning is assigned or superimposed on the text. What else can we say? The type and the foreshad of the anti-type, that means the type is prefiguring or it is pointing to ahead and it's saying like, you know, now what you're seeing is going to come out in a very heightened manner. It's going to be fulfilled in the anti-type. You're going to see this and more in the anti-type. The illustration, it's not necessarily predictive, but it's more like the New Testament is looking back at the Old Testament and saying, you know, that was something like this. Okay, so it's an illustration of this, an example of this. And there doesn't necessarily have to be a fulfillment of what was happening. It's just an illustration, a comparison. Number four, the type and we will look at some example and, you know, even I will be clear on it. Number four, the type is fulfilled by the anti-type. That means there's a higher level of revelation brought out by the anti-type, much more, much more, like the real tree that you see is much more than the shadow that you see. The shadow has something, but the shadow is telling you something better is coming and, you know, that it's going to be really great. So when you see the tree, you are seeing, you know, a fulfillment of everything the shadow was telling you was there. You would actually see the trunk, you'll actually see the branches, you'll actually see the leaves and a whole lot more happening in the actual tree. In an illustration that doesn't happen, there is some point of comparison, but it's not a height in revelation. It's not like much more. It's just a point of comparison that's being made and so on. It could be totally different as well. You know, like actually the brass serpent would be more like illustration, what I just referred to in the earlier lecture, the brass serpent. Jesus is saying, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of Man would be lifted up. So it's an illustration. That one is illustrating this. You know, both have been lifted up. Something is happening. Both are bringing redemption, but that's it. You know, you can look at that as an illustration. The allegory has nothing here. You know, the allegory is basically us making up things and it doesn't fulfill any particular truth or prophetic element in the text. The type is divinely designed by God. Illustration is designed by God as a picture of truth. So parables also could be good illustrations. So parables are, you know, we will talk about parables in the coming lecture next week. But they are illustrations. They have truth in them, but they're not, you know, it's not necessarily fulfilled in something. It's a communicative tool to bring out truth. And God is using that or he's picking that out for us saying, this is an illustration of truth. So parables are all good illustrations, examples of good illustrations. The allegory really is the interpreter's imagination. You know, it's not designed. It's not designed by God. The interpreter is making something up and bringing out something, some insights. And like I said earlier, what is spoken may not always be wrong, but the use of the text is actually not correct because they're bringing something out that was not intended in the original text. It's all somebody's imagination. And so the type and the anti-type, the scripture talks about this being an anti-type or fulfillment of that. Illustration is not referred to as, you know, a type or anti-type. It's just given to us as a story or given to us as a picture. And certain truth is brought out for us in scripture. So for example, in Galatians 3, Paul uses Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac and Hagar and Ishmael to illustrate the law and the grace of God that has come. So he says, you know, just as Hagar was put out, so the law is sent away because now the promise has come, the grace has come. So he's just using it as illustration to get across the spiritual truth. But we do not say that Hagar is a type of the law and Sarah is a type of grace. We don't go there. The Bible doesn't state that. He's just using that as an example, as illustration, but he's conveying a spiritual truth. So we just stay with that. And we don't call, you know, type an anti-type in that case. He's just using it as an example. So like that, even the Apostle Paul in his writings will use examples. Now he talks about the armor of God and he uses, you know, various pieces of armor as examples, you know, helmet and breastplate and so on. They're illustrations, but we just leave it there. We don't copy on that and say it's a type of something spiritual that God has given to us now. It's just illustrating that these are the things that we need to use in our spiritual warfare. The allegory, like we said, it's not mentioned, it's not stated in scripture. It's people, what people come up with and so on. Okay. So examples of types and illustrations. Let's go through it. You know, I mentioned some and sometimes even I get mixed up, but I need to read things through on what would be. All right. So types and anti-type. So these, you see, the type and anti-type, it's very clearly stated in scripture. That's one very important thing. The Bible really states it and the Bible actually points to it as a comparison. Example, like we mentioned, Melchizedek. Hebrews 7 clearly states, Christ came after the order of Melchizedek, meaning in a similar way he came as a priest. And what is the point of comparison? Melchizedek didn't have any beginning, didn't have any end, meaning it's not recorded. He was a real person, but his origins and his ending was not. So it uses that and says, even Christ, who had a perpetual priesthood, never had no beginning, no ending. Okay. So the Bible is scripture specifically stating, so you can do a comparison. Then same way in Hebrews, he compares Aaron, the Aaronic priesthood with Christ's priesthood. And there's a lot of comparisons, but he's also drawing distinctions. He's saying, look, under the Aaronic priesthood, they offered the blood of animals and sacrificial animals, but under Christ's priest, he offers his own blood once for all. Under the Aaronic priesthood, people were, you know, all the men had to do it. So they did it every year over and over, over for themselves and for the people. Well, again, Christ's ministry, this one who had no sin, he went once and for all. He gave himself once for all and it was done. So he's drawing a lot of comparison between that priesthood and Christ's priesthood, drawing comparison similarity. The blood covers here, the blood cleanses, also some distinctions, but it is clearly stated. So we can study both, you know, we can study Aaron's priesthood, understand that in order to understand Christ's ministry much better. Because there is that, biblically, it's being compared. So you can study that the Old Testament as a shadow to get a precursor, to get some understanding. And then you come and study Christ's ministry and say, you know, oh, this is, this is a fulfillment, it's much better here, but that helps me understand this. You know, like you see the shadow of the tree, it helps you understand the tree. Of course, there's resemblance. So it helps you understand. But the tree, of course, is much better when you look at the tree itself. Yeah, I think we mentioned the Passover, you know, the Passover lamb was killed, Christ our sacrifice was Corinthians 5-7. So, you know, you can go back into the Old Testament, look at the Passover, how, what happened there. And then it helps us understand better or some elements of Christ's sacrifice. Of course, Christ's sacrifice is much more than what was spoken of by the Passover, but it gives us insight into this. The unleavened bread, that was another feast. And the scriptures specifically states, you know, the believer's life of holiness should be like that, the unleavened bread. That means the bread had no yeast in it. Similarly, yeast is compared to sin. And similarly, the believer said, you must live a life where there is no yeast, meaning no, no sin. Right? So there's a comparison there. And, you know, we can look a little bit into the feature of the unleavened bread and see, okay, you know, how they intentionally, they cleaned them the house, they removed the leaven out of the house, and that's how they did it. So, we intentionally must clean up our home or our lives and walk like that. That's the point of comparison in the type and the anti-tax. Just a few examples. So, we can look at more, you know, we can make a long list of things where the Bible is drawing these comparisons. Similarly, illustrations where the Bible is specifying it, right? But the difference is that this was not necessarily predictive of the truth, right? It's illustrating in some way. There's some comparison, but it's not predicting it. And the truth is much, much greater, right? This has a lot more. But it is an example, right? It's an illustration. So, Adam. Adam was called, so Adam, Adam, and then Christ is referred to as the last Adam. Adam is the first man. Christ is second man. Adam was the man from earth. Christ is the man from heaven, heavenly man. So, the scriptures are comparing that. Both in Romans 5, and I don't know if I mentioned first Corinthians. I didn't. Okay. So, you know, both in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15, Adam and Christ are compared, but Adam is only an illustration. And he historically was real, but the truth about Christ is much greater, right? Adam sinned. He affected the whole human race. Christ walked in obedience. He blessed the whole human race. So, like that Christ is the truth. Adam was an illustration of certain things, right? But not necessarily type and anti-type. He's not predictive in nature, right? But there is some comparison. Jonah being in the three days and nights in the fish stomach. It's an illustration of Christ's death. So, Jesus pointed back and said, even as Jonah was in the belly of the whale, so also the son of man, and then in it is the fact that he is going to come back alive. Just as Jonah was there and he came out, Christ was there, came out. Okay. And here's something that I got confused with, which I mentioned earlier as a type, anti-type, but actually it's better as an illustration. The brass serpent, Jesus points back and says, yeah, just like serpent was lifted, Christ would be lifted. The point of comparison, the truth that Christ is there, is that he provides salvation. The people looked at the brass serpent, they were protected or healed. People look to Jesus and experienced salvation, but it's not necessarily predicting or foretelling, it's just an illustration. Or Jesus' example, he said, okay, in 1 Corinthians 10, he said, you know, the rock, he talks about the rock that was struck. He said, the rock that followed them, and even as the people were baptized into the cloud, which led the people of Israel, and the rock from which water came up. So he uses that and he says, you know, he Paul writes, and he says, that rock was Christ. So it's pointing to, it is illustrating, I would say, something about Christ. The truth is in Christ. The rock provided water to drink. That was, you know, a grace given to them. Christ through Christ, you know, their salvation, everything released to the people. He uses the cloud to say, just as the people were baptized into Moses, you know, we are today baptized into Christ. So he's using it, he's pointing to the ultimate events as examples, as illustrations, and saying, this is the truth that we are experiencing. It's illustrated over there like this, you know. So we can say, we can take that and use that as an illustration, because the Bible is specifically pointing to it as an illustration. So you can say, you know, that rock was Christ, they cross the Red Sea, type of a baptism or example of a baptism, what a baptism, so on. So you can use that. But these are stated in scripture, so you're free to use it. So the point I want to get across here is, type and illustration are specifically pointed to out for us in scripture. The Bible is pointing these out for us. Allegories are not. And therefore we should try and avoid, my recommendation would be try and avoid allegorizing scripture. And if you're going to do it at any, if you still want to do it, then it's better to tell people, look, I'm just, you know, I'm just using this as inspiration, but it's not really what the text is saying. But type and illustration is, you have chapter inverse for it, you know, and you're basing it on scripture. And illustration is to bring out truth. Type and the type is to draw comparison and to help the understand the anti type bitter. In illustration, you're bringing out truth from that event or what was, what happened. Okay. So if in our study of scripture and if our interpretation of scripture, we are careful, you know, how we do this, then it's good. It's good for us. And it's good for the people that we are ministering to. We know that, look, I am staying within the rules of the scriptures. I'm staying within, I'm with the text of the scripture. And this is what I'm doing. So it's fine, you know, whether you're using a type anti type or whether you're using an illustration that's given in scripture, okay, you know, it's there. I can use it. I can explain it like this. It's fine. Right. So for example, Noah, what's, yeah, Noah's Ark, right. Jesus said, as in the, this is in Matthew 24, he said, as in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days, you know, before the coming of the Son of Man. Okay. That's illustration. It's not a type and anti type because there is no, you know, it's not like a predictive thing, but he's pointing back from the new, he's looking back and saying, Hey, there's some truth you can get from that. Okay. So as in days of Noah, what happened? He said, they were marrying, they're giving in marriage. Let me say, I'm so busy about, you know, enjoying and going on and on in life. But there were a few people who went into the safety of the Ark. They were taken away because they were paying attention to God. That is no one is household. While everybody else around was busy with the things like marrying and giving in marriage. There were a few people who were listening to God. And they were the ones who were kept from the judgment that came on the earth. So Jesus is saying, as in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days before the coming of the Son of Man. He's using it as an example and illustration. And the truth is, you know, be careful. Don't get caught up with the things of the earth that keep you away from obeying God. So to that extent, you can use that in your preaching. But don't go beyond that. You know, don't say like, Okay, we have to build an Ark because Jesus said, you know, as in the days of Noah's soul, and don't say the Ark is the local church, you have to sign up and become a member of the local church. Only then you will be saved from tribulation. You know, don't say all those things that was not intended. That is allegorizing. Right. You just stay with the truth that Jesus wanted to bring out from the illustration he pointed to in the Old Testament. Okay. So we will talk more about the parables because parables will also fall under this category of illustration where he uses illustration from our world to tell us truth, spiritual truth. Okay. But let me pause here and see if there are any questions at this point from anybody in the class, you want me to explain or if you want to, you want me to, you know, if there's a particular example you want to look into and we can work on it together. Hi, Pastor. Go ahead, John. Pastor, the book of Song of Songs. How do we interpret that? And I think most of the people consider interpret it as an allegorical way. How do we deal that? Very good. Very good. Yeah. So like you rightly said, a lot of sermons that I preach out of the songs of Solomon or Song of Songs are actually allegories, meaning that is not what the scripture intended. So it's just human imagination at work. Now, of course, people are not going to say wrong things, meaning they're not going to, most of the songs are like, you know, okay, they're comparing Solomon as Christ and, you know, the woman as the bride as the church. And so they put it, but actually that is not correct interpretation of scripture because that was not what was intended. So you say, well, what were songs of Solomon about? Well, it is talking about human love. It's talking about, you know, what Solomon went through. And it is talking about his emotional experience, I mean, his experiences and so on. So you read it for that and why is it in the Bible? Well, God put it there to show that there's nothing wrong with human love. And as long as it's kept in the place that God wanted it to be, it's fine. Then you say, but why can't we interpret it as Christ and the bride because of this reason? Nowhere in the Bible is it stated to do that. Right? So we see that types are actually stated in scripture. Illustrations are actually stated in scripture. So song of Solomon doesn't, it's not stated, you know, example, if there was a new test somewhere in the New Testament, it said, you know, as Solomon and the sugar mite woman were in love with each other, so was Christ and love with the church example. I'm just saying if there was a verse like that, then yes, then we could go back and, you know, we are authorized to interpret song of Solomon as though it was an illustration of Christ's relationship for the church. But sadly, there's not a single verse in the New Testament or anywhere in the Bible that is referring to song of Solomon like that. So I would say we should not do it because it's not the correct handling of scripture. But sadly, there are lots of books and songs and all of that have come out and people just go with it. But if you look at it with, you know, with saying like, I want to stay true to the handling of scripture, that's something we should not do. We should not be doing, right? And so just read it as a book that is talking about human love, human interaction, and whatever you can, you take from it and leave it at that. But don't allegorize, we shouldn't allegorize it, you know, at least I wouldn't do it, you know, because I know that's not what the scripture intends. That's not what the Holy Spirit intended. And yeah. So that's adding to your thoughts in this. So what would be the purpose of having this book in the Bible? Like is it to replicate how he loves women and husband and wife's life? Yeah. I think what I would take away from that is God saw it fit to put this book in the Bible, to let us know that he created human love and our capacity for human love. So we talk about Agape love, which is the God kind of love, which God gave us. But he also gave us the human love, whether it's friendship or whether it's romantic love, he created that. It's not against God, but it has to, of course, be operated within the confines of scripture. So God saw it fit to put the Song of Solomon, the book of songs in the Bible. And I think the message is, God is saying, look, I created this and it's part of what I gave you in a gift to us as people. And it just has to be done right. You know, if you think about the book of Ecclesiastes, it's a very, again, it's a very, yeah, I don't know, I use the word depressing or a very, again, it's written by Solomon. And we begin to ask the question, why is the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible? And there it tells us that, look, a man who was given the wisdom of God, when he was just looking at things from a very earthly perspective, he came up with all this, but God's allowed it to be there because in that we're also seeing God's wisdom. We're seeing contrast between God's wisdom and the human mind, you know, and we're seeing all of that. And God let that book be in the Bible for us to learn from. And, you know, some even, some writers and scholars will say that Solomon was in a depressed state of mind when he spoke that, the book of Ecclesiastes. So that's why, you know, he says vanity of vanity is all is vanity. Now, is that true? All is not vanity. You know, all is not when God created life for the purpose. But throughout the book of Ecclesiastes, you find Solomon making that statement. Why would a man who was given wisdom make the statement? So he was not necessarily operating out of that wisdom. But then God put it in the, let it be in the Bible. So I think, so my personal takeaway is, Song of Songs, Solomon Ecclesiastes, God let it be in the Bible for a reason. We should read it in context, takes what he, you know, what he wants us to see, but not, you know, superimpose our ideas other than what's already given for us. Thank you, Vastav. One more question related to this. But when we write songs, okay, we have, we have hymns or we have all songs saying, he's the lily of the valley, which I think comes from this book. So when we also, you know, maybe write a love song, or, you know, to worship the Lord, can we use any of those as they have used? Oh, what? Yeah, yeah. I think it's fine because these are figures of speech and these are nice literary statements, which have a lot of meaning. So when we say, you know, the lily of the valley, of course, it's a phrase in Song of Solomon using partial scripture text, but we are using that figure of speech to the Lord, and that's perfectly fine, you know, or you're the rose of Sharon, or you're the, his banner over me is love. Of course, these are all statements from scripture, scriptural texts, and we're using it to the Lord, and they're figures of speech. So it's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, even though the, even though the context in which it was used was used different, right? It was the woman saying it to Solomon, you're the lily of the valley, or sorry, Solomon saying it to the woman, you know, whatever context you're, the context is different, but it's a figure of speech that we are using towards God. Yeah. Okay, I saw somebody else's hand raised. I think it is Colin. Yes, go ahead, please. Yeah, there is somewhere I read a book they call Unlocking the Bible. It was written by David, David Paulson. He was an English surgeon. He died in 2019, I think. But he was explaining that when King Solomon, these three books that he wrote were portraying how he lived his life on the historical point of view, that Songs of Solomon, he wrote it when he was in his young age. In fact, he was, that lady being mentioned there was his God designed lady because every man should have one lady. And it was the third, the third lady. And when he was writing, he wrote it when he was a young man. When he was writing Proverbs, he was middle age, trying to give his son some advice. And because we see that there is a massachaline and a feminine gender when we read the Proverbs. And at the same time, when he was writing the last book, which the name is hard for me, but I call it The Preacher. When he was writing The Preacher, he was an old man, seeing that having reigned after 300 wives and 700 concubines, he really saw that life was vanity. If you do chess, physical and the human things, if you really do follow what the Lord says, it will always be fruitful. So they had to say that faster. Thank you so much. Very good. Very good. Thank you. Thank you for sharing. Good insight. Yeah, very good. Yeah. And that's, that's a nice, nice insight, you know, which I haven't read before. So it's good. Very nice. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I, there's a good way to look at it, you know, different stages of his life and what he wrote. Good. Any other questions? Let me see in the chat anything. Okay. Okay. If there are no more questions, our next chapter, let me just start off the next chapter and then we will continue it next week. So we've looked at types, illustrations, allegories. Good example of illustrations are the parables. So we'll just go into a little bit about the parables and then we will continue it next week. Okay. So parable. So again, the parable is in a week, we would say it's figurative, it's analogy, it's illustration that are true life, true to life stories or activities, things that we are actually doing here on earth. And of course, they're taken from Bible times. So, you know, we will have stories about the shepherd and the sheep and the silver and the fisherman and so on and so forth. So Jesus used these stories in order to just like illustration, we said illustration is pointing to spiritual truth. In parable, you can say it contains or the truth is hidden in that story. Right. So in order to bring out spiritual truth and in order to encourage people to seek up spiritual truth or even to understand and to relate to spiritual truth, Jesus used parable. Right. So, you know, if you look at the word parable and it's from its roots, root words, root words, it simply means a story that is thrown alongside to illustrate. If it's used to illustrate spiritual truth, something you're bringing into or bringing alongside, you know, it's okay. Let me add this in here. And the purpose is to illustrate truth. Right. And it could also have been meant to understand like short statements that are similar to Proverbs that are bringing out truth that are intended for people to think about, think through. And as you think through the story, you're going to come upon spiritual truth. So Jesus used this. He used these real life stories and he just talked about these stories. He didn't always interpret this. That's very interesting. When you think about it, he didn't interpret the stories. He gave the stories. He said, you know, God's kingdom is like this. And then he gave a story. He threw it in, brought it alongside. So you can imagine if you and I were in the crowd and listening to Jesus and we remember him saying, the kingdom of heaven is like this. And there's a story. Example, a woman, you know, she lost a coin and then she searches the whole house. She lights a candle and she searches the whole house until she finds the coin. And she has great rejoicing when she finds the coin. So very short, very short story. But it sticks in your mind. And you're thinking, God's kingdom is like this. And a lot of us would be, I mean, you know, if we were in that day listening to Jesus, we would relate to that story because, you know, we ourselves could have done that. You know, something fell somewhere in the house and we light a candle and we go search for it. And until, and then we find it, we're so happy. Then he started thinking. Now Jesus never interpreted it. He just gave the story. The kingdom of God is like this, right? And like that, we know the other stories, you know, the lost sheep, the shepherd leaves 99 in the pen and he goes looking for that one sheep. And when he finds that one sheep, he comes and makes such rejoicing. He says, Jesus gave a story. Kingdom of heaven is like this. So people listening, they go and think, oh, it's like that. Wonder what he meant. Because Jesus didn't interpret it. He just gave the story. They're thinking, what does it mean? And maybe to some of them, they will fall upon the truth. That means they will come to the, oh, maybe that's what God is like. He searches, looks for the lost sheep and until he finds the lost sheep. Maybe that's how God and his kingdom work, you know. So the whole intent is, I'm bringing a story along. The truth is hidden in the story. I'm not interpreting the story for you. But as you dwell upon the story, you will fall upon that truth. You will hopefully understand truth. It's intended for people to search the truth. Now, of course, we know that the disciples, the apostles, on many occasions, they would meet Jesus personally and say, Lord, what did you mean? Right? So that means they're asking him to interpret. Tell us what is the truth actually in the story that you want us to know? Right? So truth was hidden in the parable so that those who were his followers, they could understand the truth. And yeah, then he didn't make it so obvious to those who were not interested. In other words, like Jesus said, take heed what you hear and the measure that you give is what you will get back. So the intent was you have to seek, you have to search, then you will find the truth. If you're not interested, you will not find it. You'll just hear the story and go away. But if you take heed to what you hear and you give attention to it, then you will come upon the truth. You will understand what is the truth that is hidden in the story. Now, of course, the other benefit of the story was it was a very effective form of communication, right? Because people would like to listen to that and they could easily relate to it because he took things from our world and he began to use them to speak to us. So, you know, and I just listed out these these these parables and many of us know many of these, you know, the two houses, one on the rock and one on the sand, cloth, wine skin, you know, you don't stitch new cloth into an old garment, wine skin, you don't put new wine into old wine skin, the sower, the weeds, mustard seed is so many, you know, short short stories are, you know, some had a lot of description in it, like, you know, the, the, the, the two sons, the prodigal son, we often call it, and so on. So, he gave a lot of these parables or stories and people could understand spiritual truth from it, right? Now, what we will do is just, you know, how do we, you know, today, how do we use these parables or how should we use parables when we are using it to preach to people, all right? So, that's our interest because the parable served a definite purpose while Jesus was speaking it to the audience then, but obviously, it is there for us also today. Right? So, how do we interpret that for ourselves to understand it and how do we explain it to people and just some guidance and most of us are familiar with parables, so we won't take too much time on it. So, we will pick up here next week, we will finish up parables, then we will get into some the next thing I want to say after we do the parables is to talk a little bit more on allegorizing, like, sorry, we'll talk about prophetic text, that means how do you handle prophetic text, and under that we'll also talk about allegorizing, because a lot of prophetic text has lots of images, right, pictures, we're seeing pictures, and so how do we handle that part, we will pick it up next week. So, we will start from here and we will kind of proceed into handling some other things. I hope you're all following me and try and try and put it to use as you study the scriptures and as you use it in your preaching and teaching, these guidelines will keep us all on the right track as we go. Okay, so let's wrap up for today, we have a few minutes, somebody could pray with us and close, and then we will dismiss, please. Anybody could unmute your mic and pray?
