“The worst is yet to come,” said Ken Isaacs about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Doctors and other health workers battling the disease are being infected and the disease has moved into the big cities of West Africa. That means that it could spread to other parts of the world by air travel.
The outbreak of Ebola has now killed more than 670 people in the countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. More than 1000 have been infected by the disease, which can kill up to 90% of its victims. It is spread by direct contact with body fluids and tissues of infected people or animals.
An American Doctor Kent Brantly, 33 who works for the aid organization Samaritan’s Purse, is under “intensive medical treatment” after being infected with Ebola. Another U.S. citizen, Nancy Writebol, also has tested positive for Ebola, Samaritan’s Purse said. She was working in Monrovia. Both are in stable condition, but not out of danger yet. Also, one of Liberia’s highest-profile doctors, along with a Ugandan doctor working in the country, has died from the disease. Another doctor is being treated. In one recent week, out of 12 new cases, eight of them were health workers, who can easily spread the disease to other patients.
In Sierra Leone, the doctor leading the fight against the disease for Doctors Beyond Borders, has contracted the disease as well. And three nurses working in the same treatment center have apparently died from the disease in spite of “strict infection control measures.”
Ebola is likely to spread outside of West Africa. Recently, one man who was sick with the disease arrived on an international flight in Lagos, Nigeria, Africa’s largest city (21 million people). He later died. Ebola first resembles other illnesses, making it difficult to identify those with early onset before boarding a flight. “”If Ebola is not fought and contained in West Africa, it will be fought somewhere else,” Isaacs said.
Isaacs said that “where it gets really scary” is that the disease, which was previously seen only “in very remote, small villages in Africa” is now spreading to the big cities. “Now the disease has been introduced into the big urban areas with millions of people,” he said. “In the big cities, people can get on an airplane and fly out.”
“I think the worst is yet to come,” said Isaacs. “I hope I’m wrong.”
“And there shall be famines, pestilences and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:7

Wednesday July 30th, 2014 at 12:37 PMPastor Hal, I have very much appreciated your efforts to wake up God’s dear people world wide, and am certain you feel like the lone voice crying in the wilderness at times, I know I do. Even though the ebola crisis is extremely serious, and I have utmost sympathy for all who are being affected, what I have been noticing is that CDC and WHO is promoting the spread of these viruses to trigger a world wide vaccination inoculation program. It deeply saddens me that humanity has stooped so low as to what we are experiencing today. There have been recent articles about viruses being lost, like the small pox virus that was “misplaced”???? This is proper handling at its finest. I have been reading some pretty anti human articles about how flu viruses are being “re-invented”??? The same viruses that killed millions in Europe. I know satan has almost complete control of the powers that be these days, but I am aghast at how far, and how many humans follow along without any thought, like the veil that is untaken away from their eyes! I live in extremely liberal CA and have nobody to talk to about these things. The churches are putting off Jesus coming for years. Many are even saying that 2031 is the beginning of the 7000 year sabbath, so Jesus won’t return until then. . . .SAY WHAT? My heart bleeds for God’s people, BUT how to reach them is what causes it to break!
Most mornings I tweet news articles on twitter and also send the important ones to those around me who are somewhat interested. I was wondering if you would be interested in receiving the most important headline news from alternative sights? Like WND DC caller, Black listed, TPNN and some of the other more popular ones.
