My brother who was visiting earlier is quite knowledgeable on the Bible and reminded me that on many occasions as if by celestial humor or by warning to those who can hear, the names may reflect bad behavior. Hence a person who is a fool may have a name root as fool. I don't know if I could find the examples again as easily as he did but he found several amazing examples in the Old Testament.

Remember the root of his name, felos de se. No matter how it is cut, Felo is a root for evildoer. Here is a legal definition of felo de se.

A felon of himself; a self-murderer. To be guilty of this offence, the deceased must have had the will and intention of committing it, or else he committed no crime. As he is beyond the reach of human laws, he cannot be punished. English law used to inflict a punishment by a barbarous burial of his body, and by forfeiting to the king the property which he owned and which would belong to his relations. The charter of privileges granted by William Penn to the inhabitants of Pennsylvania contains the following clause: 'If any person, through temptation or melancholy, shall destroy himself, his estate, real and personal, shall notwithstanding, descend to his wife and children, or relations, as if he had died a natural death.

Another: "Felo-de-se" is a Latin phrase meaning "evildoer upon himself," or, simply, a suicide. In England before 1870 a distinction was made between a suicide, which was the name given to an act of self-destruction committed by a person of unsound mind, and a felo-de-se, which was committed somebody who was sane. If a self-destruction was judged a felo-de-se, the deceased's estate was generally forfeited to the crown.

The Execution of Terri Schiavo

by David M. Huntwork

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak. In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in the favor of life."

"I urge all those who honor Terri Schiavo to continue to work to build a culture of life where all Americans are welcomed and valued and protected, especially those who live at the mercy of others.”

– President George Bush

The crime is complete, the deed is done, and the long battle is over. Terri Schiavo is dead.

The Execution

Yes, it's true, and happens over and over again. Back around Easter, many were noticing the symbolism in the names of many people involved in this. And the names were often suggestive of their role in the whole thing. Sometimes, suggestive of good behavior too. I was struck by the name of the boy who got arrested for taking water to Terri.

There was much symbolism (clues) in the timing of events, too. Yes, there's plenty out there for those with eyes and ears.
