Just because the Biblical and historical evidence does not support 
our reading of 'Terminus Est' as a deliberate echo of the Latin 
translations of the Biblical 'Consumatum Est'/It is finished, surely 
that does not mean that 'Terminus Est' does not deliberately echo 
Jesus' words, albeit in a different language.

Surely the eclectic religious symbolism used in the Book supports
this. Its not as strong a point as the original one that there is a 
direct correlation, but I believe the general point is sound. 

Or am I missing the point somewhat?
