Yusun Beck's Lessons of History

¹Greetings to many who are fellow brothers in Christ. I am but a child of God who goes about my days in prayer and scripture waiting to receive that which the Holy Spirit is to teach me with each passing moment. I would like all to understand that I no longer measure my life in days, years, or any pointless measure of time, for I measure it now in moments in the light of eternity that is to come to pass. I pray that this world receives this truth that I speak, so that the glory of God may continue to pass and so this book may be, yet, another testimony from the church that Christ is God, and He is real. I would not be so arrogant as to add to the bible; however, I pray now for the Holy Spirit to lead and confirm that which I speak. Whoever has ears, here is my confession.

HISTORY, FORGOTTEN

²That which is forgotten may easily be repeated. That which is remembered provides a tool for a man to do one of four things: Progression, Digression, Stalemate, or Unrememberance are the tools a man has at his disposal when they but simply remember. Wisdom, knowledge, and experience are gained and used when we remember history towards the point of progression. It is called learning from the past. Digression is what a fool does when he returns to his own vomit such as the dog. Is it wise to repeat that which caused us bad pain, turmoil, and strife? Likewise, to stalemate is to muddle in that sin which was and is truly corrosive to our bodies which are more fragile than wood cracked at the center in our folly. In the spirit of Unrememberance one may simply forget all that he has done. This man looked in the mirror and forgot what he saw as if he were blind. Suppose four different men were building a house. Each man had studied foundations from the current building that they lived in. They all studied ancient architectures and the such. They even helped their fathers build a home. One of the four was careless. He had the materials, but he decided to stay in his tent next to the building materials. One of the four builds his house, but his foundation is made of sand. Finally, one of the four builds his house following his instruction and remembering the history of other houses that were made.

³Now, time has passed by and the four men had grown older with children. Each child was well instructed and taught about house building. The one whose father was careless had paid close attention and remembered how much he hated not having any house. The one who lived in a tent had a child that was as lazy as he was. The child in the house with a sandy foundation died with his father when their house collapsed. Finally, the child in the nice house had started to abuse his house and forsake the wisdom of his father shaming the truth. This father was a righteous man, but he had to punish his son for the safety of his own house and his daughter and his wife. So the son was thrown out due to his lack of respect for the history of his own house. That son had soon after died bringing his own ruin upon himself.

⁴Losing his own son the father searches for the son of the foolish man that was learned on the history of house building. The child is put to work in the righteous man's house and the inheritance of the house is granted to this man who is no longer a child. Every nation that is built is built off the word of God must stay in the word or they will be destroyed and brought to ruin due to their forsaking of Christ whom is God and the truth and was there when the word was written. Was not even Israel, God's nation, spread like a tree and placed into slavery for its disobedience. How much more a nation that was not promised as God's nation, for even God's people would be plucked from life if they blaspheme the Holy Spirit or turn from God. Not one nation is immune to ruin, not one man is immune to death, and not one soul is immune from damnation. The only freedom from death is remembering God in your heart and soul. Do not just know God, but love and have faith in He that is the redeemer and the savior. Do not sell yourself for wet paper bags that are unsecured. What does money do for your eternity? Christ's hands are like a basket that is sturdy. Run to the God of all that was created. He is a God of the living not the dead and the dead will surely perish where they will burn, thirst, and gnash their teeth in darkness far from those that were made holy. The United States was built on the word of God. What shall happen if we reject such truths without repentance? Does a house stand when its foundation is removed or made to be weak? What happens to the house that collapses when the people are asleep feeling comforted by their supposed secure house? What happens to the people?

⁵Instructions to live by... Build a strong house. Use wisdom, knowledge, and experience. Fortify your house. Clean the inside of the house. Protect the family inside the house. Use the Cornerstone and the solid Rock to build your house. He is coming, and if you are not ready when He comes, then your house will be crushed like an ant under a boulder. If the world overthrows you house, then a new one will be built in heaven.

⁶My house is under all these instructions. Sometimes a window is broken or a stone is cracked, but the house in heaven will not be overturned. Holy Holy is God Almighty. Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone. On this rock of solidity my enemies will be crushed. I protect my house through faith and obedience in the Holy Spirit, yet I am saved by the grace that is sufficient. To live is to die, and to die is to live, but to my life it is willing to be sacrificed for the sake of the cross. We must believe in Jesus Christ. There is no other God to whom we shall pay homage. Holy is God Almighty my refuge and strength and the rock upon which I was broken.

⁷To conclude, God is our refuge. We must live as Christ. Our body is our house, and Christ is the solid foundation. What is a nation, but a larger person with another spirit? Our house is placed at the center of the block with fluorescent paint, flood lights surrounding, and lighted street lamps. Many will see it. Some will show jealousy while others will catch on and be lighted. This is the life we live. God will judge us all according to our actions. Repentance is the only path, and Christ is the only truth. Amen.

REMEMBERANCE

⁸"We must remember God. Everything we do must take into account that which God wants us to do. We must think about God's will."

⁹"God is our helper and our protection against those who wish to cause us trouble. God sustains us, and we cannot be afraid of the world or our enemies. God is our shield and we must trust Him. God will strike my enemies, and He will bless me for trusting in Him."

¹⁰ "Pray to God and confide in Him. God takes no pleasure in evil, and He hates all workers of iniquity. The foolish shall not stand either. I shall worship in truth, with mercy from Christ, and with fear of God. God is the only one that can lead me in righteousness and make me clean. His sacrifice was done for my life, and His resurrection is my true hope that is true."

¹¹"Mark 1:1 shows that God has people pre-positioned to do His to will. In this, everyone has a purpose. Jesus had a messenger before Him. This man was placed before Christ while still in the womb, and he grew older too. As a man, he saw Christ. Aren't we all pre-positioned servants? If we forfeit our position, then another can and will be chosen."

¹²These truths must be remembered. So much more history can be found in the Old Testament which brings to life the fulfillment of the New Testament. History shows that both the old and new covenants laid the path out for coming to Christ in faith. If we have faith, then it will be credited as righteousness; however, faith without works to demonstrate is useless, for the mannerisms of our heart shall surface in our actions bearing good fruit that may bless others. Remember God!

¹³Instructions to live by... Remember God! Trust God and seek a relationship with the just King. Pray to God and confide in Him. Be that servant you were born to be. Focus on Christ, and be not worried with fear or strife, for God is the only way to heaven for sure. Praise God! Amen.

CHAPTER TWO

WARNINGS AND CHRIST'S SYMBOLOGY

¹Adam and Eve were the first of man. They were the example of the first of marriage pure and untainted. Adam had become the father of sin because through him sin had entered the earth over all mankind. As a result of sin, death had entered the life of mankind. The entire world was marred while the tree of life was taken from man. Man was to be the head of the household, and the woman was second. It was prophesied also that the serpent will crawl on its belly for all of its days of life; and it will eat dust while enmity with woman will be; between her offspring and the serpent's, he will crush your head and you will strike his head. An offering was then made that clothed the nakedness found with Adam and Eve. These were the first.

²During the time of Noah, man was very wicked and contended with God foolishly. Due to the depravity of man, Noah was told to warn others of the flood. The instructions were to build an ark to God's specification. God had reached down from the heavens to warn and save mankind, but none except for Noah's family had listened. The truth lay upon the earth, but man's heart was so hard that God's call to salvation was ignored. Only Noah and his family had heard God's call.

³Almost immediately after the flood, a mighty hunter named Nimrod was unto the earth born. His kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh located upon the dirts of Shinar. From Shinar, he had built and settled a few other lands (Nineveh, Sodom, and Gomorrah among others/or to name a few). Man tried to oppose God as one, but he had struck down their "accomplishment" in Babel. With sin, when man unifies evil tends to spread faster under men, yet under God sin dissipates and burns away. An example of this is Israel which God uses to show a variety of truths about the nature of man. Nonetheless, man was warned when God had struck Babel with confusion.

⁴However, despite man's sinful nature, because of faith, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Noah, and Shem among others were blessed by God down to Abram and past the seed of David that would save all mankind after being born from a virgin, living righteously, and being crucified for us all. One great example was Abram. He had become Abraham and the father of many. God had justified Abram by his faith because Abram was justified by his faith. His heart was seen to action even at the cost of his own beloved son Isaac. ⁵Abram's offenders were crushed, and his defenders were blessed. Because Abram believed in God, it was reckoned to him as righteousness. ⁶Sodom and Gomorrah is another example of God destroying the wicked. Those who are fools before Christ reject Jesus only to die and be destroyed both physically and spiritually. God measures the account of man's wickedness, and the only attorney granted us is God, the son of God, Jesus Christ who came down to live as man and not just save us from ourselves, but He also showed us how it is done. As it is said, Lot's wife looked back and became a pillar of salt; therefore, any person who puts their hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for service.

⁷Later on Isaac is born. Isaac was a child of promise. God asked Abraham to sacrifice this child that he had waited so long for. Isaac went to do this in faith. He was to pierce (sacrifice his own son) and burn his child. God had stopped him and provided a sacrifice that was without defect. Consider this, Jesus Christ was the son of promise, and He was a sacrifice with no defect for us. The entire sacrificial system was prophetic for our entire lives and a demonstration of the price of our sin. ⁸Among every righteous man, men who are righteous by faith of/in God, were given by God to their bride. Their bride was doing their normal chores, and the children of God would approach the bride. The bride accepting the male had fallen in love with the man creating an intimate relationship. The two would grow together and cleave to each other while living in the world. Their love for each other is seen by their actions towards each other.

⁹Consider that God had sent us his only begotten Son. His Son had come to us while we were fishing or doing whatever daily chores we do. The Son approaches us sent by God, and we must accept Him and be with Him in an intimate relationship. We are to be holy, demonstrate our faith with our fruits, and live in the world as a light for others to see and to season this world. ¹⁰To recite parallels and descriptions about Christ, one can find anywhere in the whole word of God, would be redundant.

¹¹In conclusion, God is the King of Kings. He is an Advocate, the Lamb of God, the Resurrection, The Life, the Shepard, the Bishop of souls, the judge, the Lords of Lords, the Man of Sorrows, the Head of the Church, the Master, the Faithful Witness, the True Witness, the Rock, the High Priest, the Door, the Living Water, the Bread of Life, the Alpha & Omega, the True Vine, the Messiah, the Teacher, the Holy One, the Mediator, the Beloved, the Branch, the Carpenter, the Good Shepard, the Light of the World, the Image of the Invisible God, the Word, the Chief, the Cornerstone, the Savior, the Servant, the Author, the Finisher of Our Faith, the Almighty, the Everlasting Father, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, I Am, the Prince of Peace, the Bridegroom, the Only begotten Son, the Wonderful Counselor, the Immanuel, the Son of Man, the Dayspring, the Amen, the King of Jews, the Prophet, the Redeemer, the Anchor, the Bright Morning Star, the Way, and the Truth. These truths are held to be self evident. A nation can be built by God's word. A nation can be destroyed by God's word, for man lives not on bread alone, but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Be his friend, be his enemy, but know that you choose the very life or death of your own soul that is eternal. Will you stand or fall. This rock can be used as a builder's hammer; a boulder can crush a man flat. What do you want this rock to do to you? Be broken or be crushed.

CONCLUSION

¹²What is to be said? Do you see the warning that is given to those who disobey God? What will you do? Do you see the reward of righteousness bestowed upon those with faith in Jesus Christ of old and new? Shall I throw pearls to swine, or have you given ear to a message bestowed as a gold and platinum coin? Do what you will, but a truck in the field is still a truck in the field. If a car is heading towards you on the highway, will you move or stand in the middle of the highway? What say you mon ami? What say you ma famille? What say you my enemy? Who can say anything? What do you do?

CHAPTER THREE

UNDERSTANDING GOD

¹How hard is it to understand God? Does God expect us to understand Him? To be blunt, we don't have to understand everything about God to understand the three points of His word. For example, one man asked Christ, "How can we follow the commandments?" Christ had answered, "Keep God first and love your neighbor as you would love yourself." (This quotation is a paraphrase: please refer to Matthew for the full verse.) Jesus' main focus was coming down to save us all and to help man understand God's point of view. Who better to teach us about God but God? That is what Jesus was, our God, our salvation, and our teacher. He was so much more, but He came here for us all.

²Understanding God is not what we need because he purposely put mysteries in His word that were not to be revealed until they happen. We are in a land so dark, but it can be lighted if we understand three points: God's will is going to be carried out ultimately, repent, and pray for guidance. These are simple truths that encompass everything.

³When a person understands that God's will is going to be carried out ultimately, they stop kicking against the goads. There is not much else to say on this because this is a simple truth. God is God, and this basically means that what wants will eventually happen. Seriously, where were we but in a womb uncreated when God created the sun and the stars? Can we overrule God's will? No, NEVER! God's will is going to be carried out.

⁴Repent! What does it mean? Well repentance is not just an apology. It is an act of turning away from something. This also requires faith in God (Jesus Christ). This should say it all, but given the nature of hard hearts, I will elaborate. He came down from heaven sent by His Father to teach mankind, live righteously, and die on the cross for our iniquities and transgressions. One man, who was God, had died for us all. JESUS IS GOD, and His grace is sufficient, for He is resurrected and will be seated at the right hand of the Father. Simply stated in three words repent, believe, and trust. It all goes back to one word: REPENT!

⁵Praying for guidance is very important. We don't know everything. We need to study and learn. We need to pray and build upon our relationship. The world is looking at us. Each of us has an important roll to Christ's Church. We must pray for guidance. Ask for wisdom and it will be given. Constantly pray for guidance.

⁶Understanding God is something we should want, but it is not needed for us to understand everything. We just need to follow God's will, repent, and pray for guidance. The other pieces will fall into place because God will reward our faithfulness. These concepts are very simple; be blessed if you grasp what I said. If not, then you may be too far to touch this truth I have brought to the table.

JESUS IS GOD

⁷"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matt. Ch. 3:16-17)

⁸In Matthew Ch. 8:29-30, demons call Jesus the Son of God. In Chapter 26:63-65, Jesus claims to be the Son of God, the Christ, and the Son of Man. More verses that support such a claim are Mark 1:1, Luke 8:28, John 1:29-31, and Acts 3:13-15. You know, to place it simply, the Bible is filled with proof that Jesus is Christ, God, the Son of God, and so much more. Why should I rehash basic fundamentals? Jesus is Lord and God. There is no question about this. Any who question this is speaking with an Anti-Christ view.

CHAPTER FOUR

NOT MUCH ELSE

¹Once you realize these simple short concepts that were mentioned, it should come with out question that the truth of history is not very complex at all. In fact, it should seem very simple. We must not forget where we are going. ²We must also understand the message that Christ, who is God, has left for us to hear. God's will is going to be accomplished, repentance leads to salvation, and praying for guidance must be done constantly. Jesus is God.

BE WARNED

³This world is coming to an end. The spirit of the anti-Christ is here to lead many astray. A time will come where the world is to be judged. Jesus Christ will come in all His glory and power to establish His kingdom. Christians be prepared. The times will continue to be hard if not harder for us the closer that time comes. Please have faith in God. The devil will know that his time is at an end, even more, and judgment will be fall the world. The people of the world will reap what they have sown. When Jesus comes and conquers this world making a new heaven and earth then it will be a new day for us. Please have faith in God during the tough times. Abortion, pre-marital sex, homosexuality, and deception will be the weapons used to attack morality at first. Other issues will come forth to destroy the things we hold sacred. Christians will be called bigots and blamed for the trouble and pain in the world, but have faith still. God will hear the cries of those misjudged, innocently murdered, and treated unfairly. Do not worry about tomorrow, for God has given it to the ones who truly love and trust in Him.

⁴As for this world, be weary of what you do to God's children. His children may not strike back, but like a lion kills a jackal, God will surely protect His people. Even those who hurt the least of His people will pay, and who can hide from one who sees and knows all. Jesus came first as the lamb. This now is a chance for repentance, but if you will not bow to Christ now, then in the end it will be too late. And every knee shall bow and admit that Christ is Lord. The lake of fire waits for those who will not accept Christ. Those who go against Christ are simply asking for death. God loves us all, and He wants everyone to come to repentance. Stop being stubborn!

⁵Disciples world wide, accept the first love if you have let other things come between you and God. Christian churches everywhere, stop arguing over petty details and simply look into the fundamentals in the Bible. For example, help the poor and look after widows. Aid the sick and teach the children. Don't pray to saints or Mary, but pray to Jesus for God is the only mediator between God and man. Man's word is fluid, but God's word is the rock of foundation. It is eternal. It is not what you give but where your heart is when you do give. Do not believe that we will be gods, for this is a lie. Jesus is God, and there is but one God, and no other God exists. Churches letting homosexuals become pastors are allowing Satan to take seize of your church. I f one man can't follow a simple principle in the Bible that is considered to be an abomination, then how can they truly believe in their heart that Jesus Christ is God. Is not the same One who gave us the Ten Commandments, the Leviticle Concepts, and made man to be with woman, the same one who gave us the Beatitudes, the Church of Truth, and Salvation? Any man that openly sins and is not repentant of such is not fit to lead others. In 1 Corinthians Chapter 6, it lays out a pretty clear word that what is wrong is still considered wrong. It is not said in Galatians that we will reap what you sow. To place a church leader who loves sin in place is to ask for a congregation of sinners who will embrace those things that the leader embraces. FOLLOW CHRIST PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN SAKE! ⁶God's will, repentance, and guidance are very simple principles. Accept the truth and be blessed. Ignore the truth and be cursed. In the end, God will be God no matter what you do.

⁷The day of rest is coming for God's children. It is promised by God, and soon it shall be. I am not a man to stand outside with a sign, but the end is coming. God is holy, and He will not contend with man forever. These days will come because His people cry out for the injustices to end. Sin will not be allowed dominion on earth forever, praise God. Come to repentance before death comes and claims your physical body and/or your soul. This message is one of love and not condemnation. However, if you forbid yourself to come to Christ, then you will surely perish. Believe in Christ please.

⁸God does not want people to go to Hell, for He wants the whole world to be saved. However, God's love, infinite as it may be, does not discount that God is also just. Being just means letting people decide of their own free will. In this, God gives us a choice. We can accept his Son Christ, who died for our sins and resurrected conquering death, or we can reject the truth. So here is a question I pose to you. What would you do if you gave your child a gift, and he/she spit in your face, stomped on the gift, and tossed the gift in the toilet? First of all, how would you feel? What would you do to your child? What would you do with the gift? My first thoughts: insulted, punishment, and take away. What are your first thoughts? I know how human nature is, so I know what you will say. However, one may argue that God is higher than human nature. In this case, is it Godly to force a man to love you when you gave that same man a choice or free will that is able to choose good or evil?
