EBOLA OUTBREAK IN GUINEA – DEATH TOLL RISES TO 59

Excerpts taken from MSN News

Experts in West Africa were baffled over the last six weeks, as people began dying with a rash of fatal symptoms in Guinea, with diarrhea, vomiting and bleeding; but scientists studying samples in France identified an outbreak of Ebola on Saturday.

The epidemic is raging in southern Guinea and of 80 cases, 59 patients have already died since February 9th.

The health ministry’s chief disease prevention officer, Sakoba Keita, said, “We are overwhelmed in the field; we are fighting against this epidemic with all the means we have at our disposal, with the help of our partners, but it is difficult - but we will get there,” reported AFP.

The World Health Organization reports that 25 to 90 percent of all those infected die from the disease, depending on the strain. Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with blood, feces, sweat, by sexual contact, or unprotected handling of the dead.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) set up isolation units in the southern region of Nezerekore and they are looking for people who may have been exposed to the deadly disease. They are also sending medicines and medical supplies in planes leaving Belgium and France.

Ebola is deadly and virulent. The virus multiplies quickly, which overwhelms the immune system, leaving the victim unable to fight off the onslaught of the attack.

A recent outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo infected 62 people, of which 34 died from May through November 2012. 

Since 80 percent of Liberian goods come from Guinea, an anonymous source said that Liberia is at considerable risk of the outbreak.

Regarding the last days, Jesus said,

“Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places” Matthew 24:7.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that there were 925 million hungry/starving people in the world in 2010. People are literally dying of hunger throughout the world by the hundreds of thousands, especially in Asia, the Pacific and Africa, but our propagandized media in the US doesn’t report it, only on a rare occasion.

The unprecedented earthquake stats are published regularly on this website as well.

The Bible tells us,

“When they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape” 1 Thessalonians 5:3.

This is the Word of God, folks, not my words.

I realize a lot of people, even ministers, criticize this type of news reporting and prophecy-based websites, but those who do are criticizing God and His Word.

Jesus said,

“Fear not those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” Matthew 10:28.

Would anyone like to argue with Jesus?

The truth in news reporting should help keep us who are Christians spiritually awake, but only bring fear to those who are not saved and not ready for the appearance of the Lord, and they should be afraid!

Jesus also said,

“Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when He comes shall find watching; truly I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself and make them to sit down to meat and will come forth and serve them (marriage supper of the Lamb – Revelation 19:9)” Luke 12:37.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” Psalm 111:10.

If you don't want to fear God, you are not wise, according to God's Holy Word.

The accumulative message here is to fear God, watch for the signs of the Lord’s return and be ready! There are plenty of people in the world who do not want to be bothered with truth, or prophecy.

The Word of God also says,

“Woe to them that are at ease in Zion…” Amos 6:1.

Are you awake spiritually? Are you watching and waiting for the Lord’s return?

Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, salvation is only a prayer away. For more information, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. Your eternal destiny depends on it. God bless you.
