Epic Battle Equals Doom or Twilight for Norse Gods? Ragnarök: The Real Message in the Myth

In Norse mythology, Ragnarök encompasses a series of events that will come to pass. It foretells an epic battle which leads to the death of numerous gods, natural disasters, and the death of the world as it is swallowed by a flood. After the waters subside the world is said to start anew, where the surviving gods will reunite and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors.
