Amen
A Hebrew word meaning ‘truly’ or ‘so be it,’ used to affirm and agree with prayer and truth.
‘Amen’ expresses firm agreement—‘let it be so.’ It is said at the end of prayers and to affirm God’s word as trustworthy.
Jesus often began statements with ‘truly’ (amen), and Revelation even calls him ‘the Amen,’ the faithful and true witness.
