1) They plotted against Christ for His death. Pilate said "no". They pushed on to Herod, he said "no." They pushed harder, back to Pilate. (So like the back and forth with Terri).
2) The crowd was in a fury yelling "CRUCIFY HIM!" (I'm sure the connection is clear).
3) Satan was in the crowd that day, But God allowed it for His purpose which was for the benefit of all of mankind.
4) He was betrayed by those (disciples) who had said "till death do us part".
5) He was subjected to cruel torture and He was separated from those who loved Him.
6) He was ridiculed and mocked and afflicted in His body.
7) While they were nailing Him to the cross, the roman guards held back the crowds (police around the hospice).
8) AS JESUS WAS DYING, HE SAID "I THIRST"!

Yes, the parallel between Terri and Christ is striking, isn't it. Except Terri was not without sin. Her fatal decision: being unequally yoked with a nonbeliever. She is the first person in history to be put to death for marrying a nonbeliever. Justice cries out!
I had the sinking feeling about a month ago (when they set the march 18th date) that she would die on Good Friday. It's looking that I might be right. I hope I'm not.
God help us all..

thanks for that insight.
I see Terri as an innocent sacrificial lamb for the dark side. I do not believe this timing, and the INSISTENCE that it not be delayed for anything, is accidental -- just as the last attempt coincided w/Halloween.
Another parallel, btw -- my prayer right now is "Maranatha" w/a twist: Jeb, please come quickly -- act now for Terri, before she is further compromised!"
