The Meaning of Amen

At the end of each prayer, we say "Amen," but what does this word "amen" mean?

Amen means "so be it" or "it is so," from the original Hebrew word meaning "truth" or "certainty."

Jesus Christ also uses the term to begin a statement of religious teaching as in "Amen, Amen, I say to you . . ."

When we say amen at the end of a prayer it is an affirmation of "I believe." By saying "I believe" at the end of the prayer, we mean two things:

1) I believe what I said was true.
2) I believe in God, who hears our prayers.

Amen expresses our faithfulness in God through prayer and his promises.

Catholics may read more about the meaning of Amen in the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1061-1065.

"Jesus Christ himself is the 'Amen.' He is the definitive 'Amen' of the Father's love for us. He takes up and completes our 'Amen' to the Father: 'For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why we utter the Amen through him, to the glory of God':

Through him, with him, in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honor is yours,
almighty Father,
God, for ever and ever.
AMEN."
(CCC, 1065)

I prayed and God showed me fully and exactly all that "Amen" means. Because ancient Hebrew and Greek are not the same as the modern Hebrew and Greek, it is not possible to know just by study alone what this word means. Here I will show exactly the definition of the word, "Amen", according to what I believe God showed me.
Amen: It shall be; so be it.

I do believe.

We muslims say very similar word in our prayer and that is Aameen. It's an Arabjc word and it translates like 'Grant it' in English.

Amen did not come from the hebrew word for "truth". Truth in hebrew is Emet. "Amen" came from the hebrew word Emunah which means Faith. so everytime you say a prayer you say it in faith that it will happen.

I know how to read HEBREW. What word does the term AMEN or the phrase "let it be so" derive from? What is the EXACT etymology of the word AMEN? meaning, what word was the phrase AMEN translated from?

[andrewaitken]

From the middle [ within the Temple] when you look to the right hand - Yōd, Hē, and when yo look to the Left, Vav, Hē, then saying from the left to the right hand, HaVaYaH - the one God... "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." 21 Isaiah 30 - Isaiah 41:13 “For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” - " Right hand – Hebrew: Yamen – right hand."
... The usage of the word 'hand' in Hebrew (yadh) is associated with strength, authority and power. Thus the term 'hand' is associated with power in the hand.

[tlewisable]

I always thought of it as “affirmative”.

[Atum_Ra]

You believe in what your saying, but that doesn't mean your correct.

"Amen" is because we pray to Aman, Amun, Ahmein, Ahmen, Amon Ra the Sun God

Jesus the "Sun" of the Lord AMEN the SUN God.

That's the real reason we say "Amen" at the end of a prayer to praise the "Name" of God.
