    Zechariah’s message points to the ’Day of the Lord’ when the climax of God’s plan of salvation comes in the Cross of Christ, tracing The Fountain Anticipated, The Fountain Experienced and The fountain Applied.

    The Gnostic gospels were never “lost.” But they have been thrown out many times. We throw garbage away because it’s worthless. Theologically, the Gnostic “Gospels” are every bit as worthless as anything else we throw out. So is "The Secret."
