What is your understanding of the word: AMEN?

Answer 1

It is in reference to the Egyptian god Amun. He is being invoked and thanked whenever we say amen. In essence we are saying : according to Amun, or so be it according to Amun.

Answer 2

Amen
literally "true" and used as a substantive, "that which is true," "truth," (Isaiah 65:16) a word used in strong asseverations, fixing, as it were, the stamp of truth upon the assertion which it accompanied, and making it binding as an oath. Comp. (Numbers 5:22) In the synagogues and private houses it was customary for the people or members of the family who were present to say "amen" to the prayers which were offered. (Matthew 6:13; 1 Corinthians 14:16) And not only public prayers, but those offered in private, and doxologies, were appropriately concluded with "amen." (Romans 9:5; 11:36; 15:33; 16:27; 2 Corinthians 13:14) etc.

Amen
This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Revelation 3:14). In Isaiah 65:16, the Authorized Version has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of Amen." It is frequently used by our Saviour to give emphasis to his words, where it is translated "verily." Sometimes, only, however, in John's Gospel, it is repeated, "Verily, verily." It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 3:14).

Answer 3

Amen (Amein; Omein) Hebrew for "so be it"

Occurs 14 times in the Torah as a formula of confirmation or agreement. During the period of the Second Beit HaMikdash, Amen served as a response to benedictions and prayers recited outside the Beit HaMikdash. In place of Amen, the response used in the Beit HaMikdash was: "Blessed be his glorious majesty forver and ever."

The Mishnah states that "when the Kohanim and the people...heard the distinctive name of G-d pronounced by the Kohen HaGadol, they would exclaim: 'Blessed be His glorious Kingdom forever and ever.'" (Yoma 6:2)

Answer 4

Amen: so it is written, so let it be done

The first mention of AMEN in the Bible is notably a double (doubleminded) "Amen, amen" of the Woman(Allegory: Church) to being both Blessed(Graced) + Cursed(Lawed) = Accursed; And it's notably by her priest in Numbers 5... Nehemiah 8.

Romans, as written unto the world, has seven AMENs;
but the last of seven AMENs goes to "God only wise"

The last mention of AMEN in the Bible goes to blessed(only), or saved(only) via grace(only); Which is allegorically called the "last trump" it played by Paul The Apostle (his witness unto all men) in every Pauline Epistle, including Hebrews and Revelation.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Dear Brother

In Arabic it is said: Aameen

The equivalent synonim word for Aameen in Arabic is "Istajib". it means:

O lord accept my / our prayers / supplications.

It is also stated; When the slaves of Lord Almighty supplicate for themselves and for others, the Angels too join them and say: Ameen.

Answer 9

''agreed''

''may it be so''

''so shall it be''

Jesus also refers to Himself as ''the great Amen'' a time or two in the book of revelation. in some translations of the bible, Jesus often says ''verily verily, I say unto you...'' or ''truly, I say to you...'' but i've also seen it translated as ''amen, i say to you...''

in russian, it sounds a lot like ''i mean.''
