Ebola outbreak in Central Africa could reach 20,000 cases without strong public health measures

The Ebola outbreak represents a pestilence spreading across regions, directly matching the prophecy of 'famines, pestilences, and earthquakes' in various places as signs of the end times. The potential scale (20,000 cases) and geographic scope illustrate the multiplication of disease crises characteristic of the pre-return period described in Matthew 24:7 and Luke 21:11.
