Will Our World Ever End? By Jerry King Nwobodo

The mention of that date sparked fear in the minds of people. They were scared to hell and could not come to terms with the fact that their dear world was coming to an abrupt end. While many mocked this doomsday idea, others took to preparing solemnly for the end of the world’

       The date was May 21^st 2011. it was the day our world was expected to end, Christians all over the world had come to believe that the world would end that day due to so much sponsored publicity and Biblical revelations pointing to the fact that a sublime message  in the Bible was the answer to the question, when will the end come?. This message was made popular by the concerted efforts of the Family Radio Impetrated, an organization headed by new generation preacher Harold Camping. He and his organization had spread the message throughout the globe with print, electronic and internet media. They so succeeded that even children as little as five years in most parts of the globe could sense the turbulence in the air.

The whole world waited for the day and it came. The day seemed so normal and every one waited for five thirty in the evening. It was so amazing that the day passed without any strange turbulence in the skies, no outburst of meteor shower, neither was there any sign of the Armageddon except for a few reports of earthquakes in New Zealand which of course is no strange phenomenon.

In the United States of America where this hypothesis originated, the revelation was received in  amidst mixed feelings as some received this message with both hands, some  others remained startled at this revelation. Although some Christians believed this message, others shoved it aside arguing that the end was not near. Those who believed used the shortest time available to prepare for the end. Some sold their belongings, others sold their houses while others prayed in their cars begging God for purification. This Doomsday Propaganda received a huge amount of criticism from various quarters. A large bulk of the criticism emanated from the Christian faith. Most Christians all over the globe refused to believe that the end was near. Others dwelt on the fact that the message was too sublime and unclear, open to any interpretation which could be wrong,

A huge amount of Christians dwelt on the fact that the end of the world was never announced in the Bible since Jesus Christ never knew when the world would end. It is now over 60 days from .doomsday there seems to be no doom lurking around except for a few natural disasters in New Zealand, and China which is not abnormal.

The world might surely outlive all of us and people like Harold Camping would cool their heads and shut their mouths because a doomsday preacher is a bringer of evil and maybe true to the words of  T. S. Elliot,” this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but with a whimper” and according to Ted Turner, “We're gonna stay on until the end of the world. And when that day comes we'll cover it, play Nearer My God to Thee and sign off “.

Start subscribing and sharing your feeds

Now that you understand what feeds are and you have a feed reader to use, you need to start gathering feeds to start reading. Newspapers, blogs, magazines, or journals — start hitting them all up in your browser to find exactly if they publish RSS feeds, and secondly what their feed details are so you can put them in your feed reader. Now, you might be asking — isn’t there a faster way to do this? Well, there is, actually. A format was developed for people to back up and / or share their feeds all at once. Its called “OPML”. If you had a list of feeds that you wanted to share with me, for example, all feed readers will be able to ‘export’ your list in a format called “OPML”. Then, you could send it to me, and I could “import” your OPML list into my feed readers, and la voila! I have all of your feeds. If you have friends who have similar interests you could share each other’s OPML’s. Sometimes you can find OPML’s that are publicly shared on the web, but these are few and far between (if anyone can tell me different let me know). Sometimes people will also publish their feeds through Google’s feed reader. Share.opml.org is another great resource — but not for finding OPML lists per se. Rather, its a way for you to share your OPML files, and in turn, actually discover what other feeds people are subscribing to, and in turn, who is subscribing to which feeds. Since there is a way to see which users have similar interests you can actually lists from individuals who have a feed list like your own.
