The Orionid meteor shower was predicted to occur anytime from today until Oct. 22 and the world may witness the most number of meteors for this year.

Coinciding with this highly anticipated meteor shower, is Harold Camping's Doomsday prediction. If predictions of Harold Camping are to be taken seriously, people can also expect the world to end today according to a bold announcement from Harold Camping.

However, this was not the first of these kinds of prophecies foretold by the 90-year old evangelical journalist as he already made forecasts in the past that doomsday was supposed to take place on May 21, 1988 and Sept. 6, 1994, according to past reports from different publications.

The Christian Science Monitor has reported before that "Camping believes that the world will meet its end but this will happen very quietly."

Regardless of the truthfulness of all these pronouncements from Camping, the fact is that the whole world is aware of the "apocalyptic incidents" that are supposed to unfold, thanks to social media networking sites that have been largely responsible for propagating this news about the final day of judgement.

In fact, Camping's Family Radio has an active presence both on Facebook and Twitter. Numerous blogs and opinions have been written and shared in Facebook fan pages while Twitter has been swamped with torrents of trending topics about Camping's end of the world revelations, according to Digital.com.

Healthy Lifestyle came up with a list of 14 signs that the world is indeed going to end on December 23, 2012, if it does not happen today. Among these are tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes; failure of nuclear science; continuing GMO contamination; food shortages and crop failures; radioactive contamination of the world's food supply and global pharmaceutical pollution.

Posts from Weekly World News confirm that the world will end today! Some said that Judgement day is nearing while others shrugged off the forecast. Still many people opted to play it safe by spending a few minutes of prayer should these predictions come true.
