Ebola Kills 65 in DRC as Unstoppable Strain Spreads Across Borders

An outbreak of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola — for which no licensed vaccine exists — has killed 65 people and infected 246 in conflict-ridden Ituri province, DRC, with cases now confirmed in Uganda and emergency regional coordination underway. Jesus explicitly warned that pestilences would be among the signs preceding the end of the age, and the accelerating frequency of disease outbreaks in regions already marked by war and instability fits the pattern Scripture describes as birth pangs. Luke 21:11 speaks of 'great pestilences in various places,' and the convergence of an unvaccinatable strain, high population movement, and collapsing health infrastructure echoes precisely that warning.
