Have you you ever been listening to a sermon and just thought, Yes, that is so true? You just want to say Amen! We say it without even thinking about it. It's just what we say! There is so much meaning behind this word. It is found 78 times in the Bible. It shows up first in the Book of Numbers, and then for the last time in Revelation 22:21
As a Hebrew word it means, “surely, indeed, truly.” The root word is "aman" which denotes “to be firm, steady, trustworthy, faithful”. I love that it sounds the same in English and in Hebrew! Amen.
We use this word to say, Let it be so! I believe this to be true! Yes Lord do it! Throughout the Old Testament we see it used as a response to blessings or curses.
Praise be to the LORD forever! Amen and Amen. Psalm 89:52
