Weighing
The Cornerstone
What the 31 anchor carries: the chain from decree to terminus, weighed
The cross of 31 is not established afresh here; Casus 31 does that. The Cornerstone weighs the chain that hangs from it: the decree of 458 BC, counted from Tishri 457; the anointing in 27; the epoch of 3967 BC; the terminus 2034. Each link receives its label, CALCULATED, DOCUMENTED or INTERPRETED, with the opponent at his strongest. The thesis: the two golden pins, 457 and the year 31, do not hang on the six thousand. If 2034 passes, then a sum has been refuted, and nothing further.
