Daily Norse Myth

Link.

What is unique about Ragnarok as an Armageddon tale is that the gods already know through prophecy what is going to happen: when the event will occur, who will be slain by whom, and so forth. They even realize that they are powerless to prevent Ragnarok. But they will still bravely and defiantly face their bleak destiny.


Ah, yes, people. Bravely and defiantly face your bleak destinies. If you read this post, maybe the connection will make sense. Or maybe not.

Emery,

You should have linked this post to your rant on the word "unique". What about the tale of Armageddon itself in the book of John for Christ's sake?
