THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE VIKINGS
The Saga of the Roman's Road to Heaven?
As you may recall from history, the Vikings were great explorers and
adventurers. Having developed out of the earlier Goths (or GahTSK),
these Norsemen travelled and migrated all over. As the Visigoths or
Western Goths, they ransacked the Western Roman Empire and penetrated
as far as North Africa. And, as the Ostrogoths or Eastern Goths they
moved into the Balkans and then settled in Italy (attempting to reform
the early Roman Church). Moreover, the less well known Yugogoths
or Southern Goths migrated Eastward and settled along the Silk
Road to China, where they eventually founded the Jewish State of
Kazaria.
However, most interesting of them all, were the Norigoths or
as we say GahTSK (literally the Ancient Northern Peoples of God).
During the so called Dark Ages, these Peoples came to dominate
all of Scandanavia and the Baltic Region, as well as much of the
rest of Northern Europe (especially in the Vidfadmi Era). But,
as time passed, they split into two groups. The more holy
descendants, went Eastward, into Russia, where they became the
Varangians. And from there, they went farther Eastward to China
(and legends even hold that they showed up in Japan, perhaps among
the Ainu). The less holy and more Pagan descendants went into
Western Europe, as the Vikings, and from there arrived in the
New World of America.
So, their track record for exploration, adventuring, and
migration is well established. They were a Peoples on the move.
And, always in search of greener pastures (or treasures around
the next bend of the river). Moreover, the stories and legends
of their exploits are still remembered today.
However, among all their achievements and discoveries from their
travels, the most important one is almost forgotten! Or, simply
ignored by the modern sophistocates who scoff and say it could not
be done. But then, accounts of other Viking exploits, which were
held impossible, have, in fact, turned out to be true! (Witness the
old Viking legends that they had discovered America, which we now
know to be fact from archaeology.) So, just because it seems
incredible, does not mean that it did not happen, for the Vikings
accomplished many unbelievable things!
So, what are we talking about here? (You may ask.) Well,
it is such a great discovery, that if it is true, then it is more
than amazing. It is a fact that we all need to know about!
And, I am speaking here of the obscure legend that the Vikings
actually discovered a Route to Heaven! Now, at first glance,
that may seem totally unbelievable, but let us examine the facts
that we can gather, to see if there is any solid basis to this
legend.
Perhaps one of the major mysteries of the Norsemen is their
original name of Goths. The word Goth comes from a more primative
term of GuDT, which means God. Thus, the Goths (or pre-Vikings)
were the Northern Peoples of God (which is why we call them
GahTSK). Now, if their name comes from God, is it possible that
they had some knowleedge of HIM? I'd say that was obvious! And,
if they knew about God and HIS Realm in Heaven, is it really too
much to think that they might have known how to get to Heaven to be
with HIM? Again, I do not think it is beyond reason. Rather, it
seems entirely possible that they could have had some such kind of
knowlegde!
What! Surely this is not so? (You may ask.) But, not only
do I think so, but the evidence seems to pile up that it was so.
How come? Well, as the legend goes, when the Vikings were pouring
in over the ancient Roman Empire, and as Rome was built on a
systems of roads, the story holds that the Vikings discovered a
so called ROMAN's ROAD TO HEAVEN. Now, is this possible?
Well, to decide, we are going to have to look at the evidence.
And, as we are dealing here with a matter of Faith, we need to
turn to the Holy Scriptures, to see if anything like this is
possible. And, most amazingly, we find that something along
this line is found in the Book of Romans. So, let us examine this
mysterious legend of the Roman Road to Heaven, which apperas to have
become part of Northmen Religion and Norsemen Faith--the Viking
Gospel!
FIRST STEP, ADMIT ERROR
As we dig through the Book of Romans, we find this passage:
-
For ALL (Mankind) has sinned [erred] and fallen short of
the Glory God [intended]. (Romans 3:23).
For while God had Created Man perfect, Man fell into error and sinned,
and we ALL, as humans, stumble into doing wrong in God's eyes, even
as it is written:
-
For there is NOT a [fully] just Man upon the earth, that does good
[only], and sins not! (Ecclesiastes 7:20).
So, like it or not, we have all sinned and fallen from the design that
God intended for us.
So, what do we do about it? Unfortunatley, most people think
that the best way to deal with sin in their life is to either
ignore it or just cover it up so that others can't see it. But,
listen to what God has to say on this subject:
-
He that [merely] covers his sin, shall NOT prosper; But, he who
confesses [acknowledges] them [to God] and forsakes [turns from]
them shall have mercy [from God]. (Proverbs 28:13).
And it further says:
-
Humble yourself in the sight of God [acknowledge your error], and HE
will lift you up! (James 4:10).
And, it also tells us:
-
The Lord is nigh [near] unto those who are of a broken heart
[prideless]; And SAVES [takes to Heaven] such as be of a contrite
[humble] spirit. (Psalms 34:18).
So, don't let pride and conceit destroy you. Admit your error
to God. And, you will be taking your first step on the Roman's
Road to Heaven.
SECOND STEP, BELIEVE ON THE CROSS
The next step on the Roman's Road to heaven is found further on,
in the Book of Romans:
-
For the wages [deserved result] of sin [error] is Death (in Hell);
But, the [free] gift of God is eternal life [in Heaven], through
Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23).
For, if we continue in our sin, we will earn to oursleves eternal
punishment in Hell for our afterlife. But, if we turn to God (though
the Cross), then we can have eternal life with HIM in Heaven for
our afterlife. It is that simple!
For, it is written:
-
For God so loved the world [Mankind], that HE gave [sacrificed on
the Cross] HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever BELIEVES in Him
should not perish [in Hell], but have everlasting life [in Heaven,
with God]! (John 3:16).
For this is the Good News or Gospel, that Christ died on the Cross,
shedding His own Blood to pay for our sins, as it is written:
-
But God commends [shows] His Love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners [in error], Christ died [on the Cross] for us [to pay
for our sins]! (Romans 5:8)
Surely, this is a great gift!
Thus, as it also says:
-
And, [just] as Moses lifted up the [brazen] serpent [on a pole] in
the Wilderness (see Numbers 21:4-9), so must the Son of Man [Christ]
be lifted up [on the Cross]; That whosoever BELIEVES in Him should
not perish [in Hell], but have everlasting life [in Heaven].
(John 3:14-15).
So, if you BELIEVE in Y'Shua or Jesus and look to (or think on) the
Cross, He will cure you of the demonic snake bite of sin, so that you
will be able to enter Heaven in your afterlife. Surely, this is no
small matter!
THIRD STEP, CONFESS (PROFESS) CHRIST
The next step on the Roman's Road to Heaven tells us that we need
to Profess or make public confession of our Belief in the Cross
of Christ. For, it is written:
-
For what says it [the Holy Scriptues]? The Word [of Faith] is nigh
[near] you, even in your mouth, and in your heart; And, that is the
Word of Faith, which we preach [teach]! For, if you confess
[profess] with your mouth, that Jesus is your Lord, and believe in
your heart that God raised Him from the dead, then you shall be
saved [taken to Heaven]. For with the heart, Man believes unto
righteousness [good deeds]; And, with the mouth, confession
[profession] is made unto salvation [regeneration and going to
Heaven]! (Romans 10:8-10).
Thus, as the Roman's road shows, you need to:
- ADMIT your sin or error
- BELIEVE on the sacrifice of the Cross
- CONFESS your Faith in Christ
If you do this, then you can go to Heaven in your afterlife! (Now,
isn't that worth it all!)
THE ANCIENT VIKING RETURN
Now, according to the historical record, there seems no question
that many of the Goths or GahTSK did just that. They knew of this
Roman's Road to Heaven. And many travelled it! And, not only
them, but most of their Descendants, too! For, the Vikings and
the Scandanavians (or Northmen), have a long and rich heritage of
belief in God (and the Cross)--the Viking Gospel. And, they are now
in Heaven, looking down upon us, and hoping that the rest of their
Descendants will now also travel that Roman's Road to Heaven and come
to them, up there, in their afterlife.
So, how about you? Have you considered the Norseman Faith and
Northmen Religion? (They are waiting for you!)
IT'S YOUR CHOICE (Don't blow it!)
Now, when God made Man, HE gave him FREE WILL, or the ability to
choose to serve God or not, even as it is written:
-
...Choose ye [you] this day, whom ye shall serve... (Joshua 24:15).
So, like your Viking ancestors, you can choose to take the Roman's
Road to Heaven (accept the Viking Gospel), or you can choose the path
of the wicked world around you (to Hell). It is your choice!
What! Well, of course I'll choose Heaven! (Who would want to go
to Hell!) But, how do I do that? How do I choose to follow God
to Heaven?
Actually it is very simple. Just say the following prayer out
loud (so God will know that you agree to it). It forms a kind of
Covenant or Mediavel Social Contract between you and God. You
are to serve HIM and HE is to take you to Heaven in your afterlife.
So, just repeat this, aloud:
- Father God, I admit my sin to YOU, that I have done
evil and wicked things in your sight (and deserve punishment
in Hell).
- But, I humble myself, and plead with you to be merciful to
me and forgive me of my sins, because of YOUR Son (Y'Shua or
Jesus), who shed His Blood on the Cross to pay for my sins, as my
death by proxy.
- Now, I renounce the Devil (and the Norse gods) and all of
that wickedness; And in the NAME OF Y'Shua (Jesus), I command all the
forces of evil to be gone from my life, now and forever!
- Instead, Heavenly Father, send YOUR Precious Holy Ghost
into my heart and life: leading me, teaching me, and protecting
me (and Manifesting YOUR Presence and Power in my life).
CONGRATULATIONS!
If you have just said that above prayer, your are now on your way
to Heaven. (Or, as some say: SAVED or others: BORN AGAIN.) And,
this is a really an important occassion! One worth celebrating. For
your are now part of the Ancient Norsemen Faith--and the modern
Northmen Religion. So, contact us, that we can rejoice with you!

STILL NOT CONVINCED?
Well, this may all sound good, but I'm still not convinced. (You may
say?) Call it skepticism, or what have you, I'm just not sure that
this is for me! How can you be so sure? (You may ask.)
