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, 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 orginal 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 so? 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.
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:
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.
For, it is written:
Thus, as it also says:
Thus, as the Roman's road shows, you need to:
So, how about you? (They are waiting for you!)
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:

So, don't stay out there. Come on in! Get involved in our Fellowship. (Don't be lonely any more!)
In fact, why don't you come on in and take Our Revival Course? It will help you follow the other Vikings in their Renewal to God. And, it gives you all the basic steps and information that you need to bring about the Revival of God in your life.
Okay, perhaps you need a little time to think things over. Or, maybe you just need some more facts, to understand what all the real issues are. So, take the time and read through some of our other materials. Then, once you have all the facts, perhaps you can make a better decision.
To help you understand this process of the Roman's Road, we have written a more detailed article on the whole Regeneration Concept. This is filed away with the rest of Our Northmen basic teachings.
And, while you are making up your mind, perhaps you would like to know more about us. Afterall, it does help to have all the basic facts when you are trying to make up you mind. So, if you are curious, then look over the rest of what we have to say. Let the VIKING REVIVAL win you over to God's side!
