Ebola Kills 130 in DRC as WHO Declares Global Health Emergency

A rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed at least 130 people with 500 suspected cases, prompting the WHO to declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and consider experimental vaccines for a strain with no approved treatment. Jesus warned that pestilences would be among the defining signs preceding His return, and outbreaks like this — erupting amid war, displacement, and collapsed infrastructure — align with that prophetic pattern. Luke 21:11 records Christ's own words: 'There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places.'
