The widening Ebola epidemic is reminiscent of the health threat caused by AIDS, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday, urging action so Ebola "is not the world's next AIDS."

"In the 30 years I've been working in public health, the only thing like this has been AIDS," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said at a World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual meeting in Washington, D.C., where many countries pledged funds and services to try to stem the virus ravaging West Africa. "And we have to work now so that this is not the world's next AIDS."

I don't subscribe to claims of signs of the times today, but as we draw near to the Tribulation the end times markers have to start soon (Mat.24:7). We have two epidemics now working. Enterovirus d68 is about as scary as I've seen in the way it infects children rapidly with such potential lethality. But for the world this Ebola has the potential to become truly a pandemic without regard to age or nationality - a most pernicious killer. But if we believe the Lord's up-call is imminent, it might be we haven't seen anything yet.

Certainly as the end of this Dispensation draws near we shall see more and more toward the preamble of the tribulation. I do believe these are very interesting times - scary, but interesting. And I am sure as we draw closer to the end, it will get worse and worse. And I do believe His coming is imminent; more so every day.

ναὶ ἔρχου, Κύριε Ιησοῦ
even so, come Lord Jesus! (Apoc.22:20)
