I first posted this on the 9th of September, this year (2013). But I wanted to reinforce it to anyone who may need to accept Jesus as Savior, or even needed the Plan of Salvation for a Witnessing tool. Click the below link for the answer.

Thanks Ken for your response - I pray you are right. I have always associated the antichrist with Roman Rule, but in the last days things seem to lead differently. God knows the answer, as I don't profess to be a profit, and contrary to your belief I'm NOT politically motivated, just reactions to his deeds. Thanks again.

Hi Teresa - I also came across this video with the link above, and as I view it chills ran up and down my back. He is against Israel, and pro Islamic, and is probably of the Islamic faith. Everything he does seems to be against Christianity, and the founding faith of our nation. I am SO AFRAID of what we will soon face because of him being President. The only thing I can say is Jesus will come for all of God's children at the Rapture. Like I said, I don't profess to be a profit, but Scripture leads me to believe he MAY INDEED be the Antichrist (He is definitely an antichrist if not THE antichrist. Thanks for your response.
I give this Scripture and comments for you to research and expound upon. As I viewed the link in this article and searched the Scriptures an strange feeling ran all over me. I DO NOT even begin to claim to be a prophet, but the strange co-incidence that surrounds this is intriguing to say the least. With the way things have come about lately, it seems to fits, but is it simply a hoax playing on our minds. Then again things seem to point us in this direction.
I encourage your research and comments on this. I would like for brighter minds than mine to check this out and make Biblical comments on this subject. Thanks for your understanding and comments.
Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. KJV
The word for lightning in this verse is strongs number 1299 - baraq (pronounced baw-rawk) & the number for heights is Strong's 1116: Bamah and also the conjunction u or sometimes o is used with Bamah, so Luke 10:18 would read this way: I beheld Satan as Baraq u or o Bamah! Im not saying OBama is THE Antichrist, Im just giving Scripture with the Hebrew (Aramaic) words that transliterates this passage of Scripture. You can make up your own mind.
Isa 14:12-19) 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. KJV
Strongs word number 1299 - Baraq (Baw-Rawk) means lightning. Translates: I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. KJV or translated as Baraq O Bamah.
HIGH PLACE
bamah OT:1116, "high place." This noun occurs in other Semitic languages, meaning the "back" of an animal or of a man (Ugaritic), the incline or "back" of a mountain (Akkadian), and the "block" (of stone) or grave of a saint (Arabic). Bamah is used about 100 times in biblical Hebrew, and the first occurrence is in Lev 26:30: "And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you." Most of the uses are in the Books of Kings and Chronicles, with the sense of "cultic high place." The word is rarely used in the Pentateuch or in the poetic or prophetic literature.
Friends. As we are nearing the time for Christ to come back on a cloud and claim His Children, we are faced straight forward with this frightening ordeal. Is it coincidental that the name of our President are the transliterated words of Luke 10:18 (Aramaic Hebrew)? I dont know, but I am giving the Scripture out for your knowledge. Here is the Scripture for you to read. The decision is yours!

ROAST TURKEY RECIPE
My favorite Roast Turkey Recipe that I use every year at Thanksgiving, and also every other time we cook a turkey.
Roast turkey is a marvelous meat anytime of the year. If youre looking for a straight forward method of preparation but also something out of the ordinary, this recipe, with its old-fashioned appeal and many options, may be just what youre after.
Roast Turkey:
1 16 to 18 pound turkey
1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crumbled
2 teaspoons ground sage
2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
1 & teaspoons salt
1 & teaspoons pepper
Kosher salt
salt pork (optional)
Bacon (optional)
1 stick of butter, melted
Garlic powder
Paprika
1 can broth, for basting
Choose a plump turkey. Clean and dry thoroughly inside and out. Remove giblets and turkey neck from inside of turkey and rub liberally with kosher salt. Combine rosemary, sage, thyme, salt & pepper in small bowl. Rub some in each cavity.
Pack body cavity loosely with the stuffing (see below) you will be using, or prepare stuffing separately (do not stuff turkey until the last minute before cooking). If turkey is being stuffed, sow closed, or fasten with small lacing skewers and cotton string. Tuck in wings and fold tail in over the stuffing.
The skin over the breast of the turkey can be loosened and thin strips of salt pork may be placed just under the skin to keep the breast meat moist. The wings and thighs can also be wrapped with bacon strips, if desired. Brush the top of the turkey generously with melted butter, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper (I personally use cracked black pepper), and paprika.
Roast turkey, uncovered at 375 F, basting frequently with melted butter and turkey or chicken broth, or pan juices. After 1 hour, baste and sprinkle with seasoning again, then make a tent with aluminum foil and cover breast loosely. Reduce heat to 325 F and continue roasting for another hour, basting occasionally.
Uncover breast and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of thigh registers 165 F (be careful not to allow the thermometer to hit a bone or the reading will be false). This will take about 90 to 110 minutes longer, depending upon the size of the turkey and the oven being used.
If you dont have an instant read thermometer, test to see if turkey is cooked by inserting the tines of a large fork into the upper thigh. If juice is not pink, the the turkey is done.
Stuffing:
Sometimes one may decide NOT to stuff the turkey, but cook along side of the turkey, if this is your desire place this in the oven during the last 45 minutes of roasting, along side the turkey.
1 lb. chicken gizzards, finely chopped
1 lb. pork sausage, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2-3 garlic coves, minced
1 shallot
2 stalks celery, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
teaspoon sage, chopped
teaspoon paprika
Pinch of celery seed
2 & cups of chicken broth
1 stick butter
Pepperidge Farm Herb Cubed Stuffing Cubes
1-2 eggs
3-4 tablespoons parsley, chopped/
For a flavorful stuffing, saute finely chopped chicken gizzards and crumbled pork sausage in 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter with 2-3 coves minced garlic, 1 shallot, 2 stalks minced celery, 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, teaspoon chopped fresh sage, teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of celery seed. Add 2 & cups chicken broth and 1 stick butter. When butter melts, stir in 1 14oz. Package of Pepperidge Farm Herb Cubed Stuffing cubes. Mix well, remove from heat and quickly stir in 1-2 eggs, and 3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
Pack stuffing into a buttered baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, remove foil to allow stuffing to brown after turkey is removed by increasing oven temperature to 425 F.
This has been tested and tried yearly by myself, it works great, and is the best turkey Ive eaten (if I do make it myself). Options: you dont have to use salt pork slices or wrapped thighs & wings with bacon. You can or dont have to stuff the turkey. In fact I cook the stuffing in the oven beside the turkey during the last 45 minutes of roasting the turkey. We love it that way, and there is plenty of stuffing to go around for everybody.
YUM! YUM! THIS IS GREAT!

Introduction Sheet: 42 years, Licensed & Ordained Minister of the Southern Baptist Faith. I served 12 Churches over the 42 year period. Eleven of the Churches as Minister of Music & Youth Pastor, and one Church as Pastor.
I attended Baptist Bible Institute in the early 1970s (It is now called The Baptist College Of Florida. In Graceville, Florida. Majored in Theology and Minored in Music. Graduated from Wallace Community College in 1971 (Associates Degree General Education and Electronics). Transferred these credits to " Baptist Bible Institute" in Graceville in 1972.
I served as Associational Music Director on two different occasions, for two different Associations (Dale Baptist & Columbia Baptist Associations). I served one term as Associational Youth Director (Dale Baptist Association).
I taught a Youth Camp Bible Study Class at two summer Youth Camps (Dale Baptist Association).
I directed Associational Adult and Youth Choirs for the Dale Baptist Association when I was Associational Music Director for Dale Baptist Association. I am a Singer Recording Artist with 4 CDs out on my Zack Martin Ministries Label. I am also a member of Indie Gospel Artists, an international organization that allows my music and my Articles to be publish on that network. I have had many Articles published on the network with comments from around the world. My music is also played on the Indie Gospel Artists Radio Station (A Streaming Network Radio StationThat Also Has a World Wide Audience. With comments from India, Pakistan, South America, Canada, and The United States, and Great Britain, and Northern Ireland.
I have been disabled since 2006 and I have relied solely on the Internet as an outlet for my ministry. Since I am confined to a wheel (Power) chair, I do most of my ministry from my computer (located in my bedroom). But with Gods guidance I reach more people now (around the world) than I did in 35 years of full time Church service. God has blessed my ministry, and given me many avenues of service, with the main avenue being Indie Gospel Artists. I cannot thank enough the vision that God gave to Ken Rich, the founder of the Indie Gospel Artists Network. This Network serves as an avenue for many Independent Artists and ministers (such as myself) to get their ministries out through the Internet to people around the world. SO A GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT TO KEN RICH FOR HIS ABILITIES AND VISION OF GETTING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AROUND THE WORLD VIA MEN AND WOMEN MINISTERS AND ARTISTS OF GOD!
Even since my disability, God has opened up doors and ways of service within Indie Gospel Artists, Facebook, and other areas, including my own website: http://zackmartinsr.weebly.com/
God is a Great God, and serving Him is a Daily Blessing! Thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for His love and Blessings on my ministry. I have 3 facebook sights: (1) My normal site Zack Martin, my ministry site (2) Zack Martin Ministries, and my music sight: (3) Zack Martin Music. On the normal site just become friends, and on the other 2 sites, LIKE the sight and get material I write (on the Zack Martin Ministries page) and my music (on the Zack Martin Music page). These two pages are strictly to be testimony pages to reach people that need Gods help and/or His saving Grace.
I pray that each person finds me and my sights freely. In fact my Indie Gospel Artist page link is http://indiegospel.org/profile/ZackMartin
You can check all of these sites out, and make comments, requests, and many other things absolutely free. On my CDs all I ask is a love offering, and if you cannot afford that, you will still get the product just for your asking. Whats the catch you ask? There is no catch, I do not depend on any of this for income. I have my own recording studio, and the knowledge of electronics to do all I need to do to make audio CDs & video DVDs, and also publish my writings. A special prayer request from you, not only do I write articles in the form of Blogs and Discussions, but I am now in the process of writing my first book (as yet untitled), but about how God took a poor raised farm boy and cultivated him into His minister of over 40 years of Service. I have and am seeking help for writing the book (a first for me). Your prayers for me are coveted. But, God has NEVER FAILED ME, AND I DONT FORSEE HIM FAILING ME NOW!
Thanks For Your Attention,
Rev. Zack Martin Sr.

As I look at the turmoil of the world of late, I have come to the realization that the question; "What am I doing?" has crossed my mind more than once. The time has come to take a closer look at my own life and what I feel God wants me to do! Even though most events are beyond my control, I can still do something within God's will. For many years I have preached the "Gospel of Jesus Christ" to members of my congregations, and now social media, that will listen! My duty is no less now than then, in fact it is probably MORE! With time getting shorter, I need to do MUCH, MUCH MORE! Although fewer and fewer people will listen, it is our LAST CHANCE to tell a lost and dying generation about the saving grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
There are things we need to know and understand!NOBODY FILLS MY HEART LIKE JESUS
For several years I used this song with my youth choirs during my ministry as minister of music and youth pastor. I first heard this song at youth camp in Ft Walden Beach, Florida. I remember I had 24 youth that summer to attend youth camp, and we spent a week down there. A music minister by the name of Gary Wright from Birmingham, Alabama was doing the music, and this song became to favorite song of that camp. I remember that when my youth choirs would sing the song for our congregations we would have people all over the congregation standing, clapping, and singing along with the choir. Each time it was a Praise service where people were touch by God's love (Southern Baptist Church LOL).
I remember that summer at youth camp all of the 24 youth that went had life changing decisions. Some were saved, other rededicated the lives to God, and some even answered a call from God. The last night of that camp we had a service on the beach. It was so inspirational and very touching. Kids from all over were hugging, crying, and just praising Jesus in their worshipful ways. I came away so blessed and humbled. It was great.
