WHO Declares Ebola Emergency in Central Africa After 80 Suspected Deaths

The World Health Organization has declared an international public health emergency over an Ebola outbreak caused by the Bundibugyo strain in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, with 80 suspected deaths and 246 suspected cases reported. Jesus specifically warned that pestilences would be among the defining signs preceding His return, and the convergence of multiple simultaneous disease outbreaks — including Ebola and hantavirus — fits the pattern of escalating global health crises described in end-times prophecy. Luke 21:11 records Christ's words: 'There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.'
