Amen, the last word

Here's more info about the word Amen.

1. Ends solemn statements

Amen is almost always the last word of a solemn statement. It first appears in the Bible at Numbers 5:12-31.

A woman under the test of bitter waters, was to say it at the end of the priest's pronouncement of the curse and of her taking the oath.

We find the word Amen as the last word in several instances in the Bible...

The word is found in the last verses of the Bible (Revelation 22:20-21).

The first three books of Psalms end with Amen (Psalm 41:13, 72:19, 89:52).

Most books of the New Testament end with it (KJV).

In Israel, when a prayer or prophecy was made, or a law of God was read, "All the people said, Amen." (Nehemiah 5:13, 8:6).

The Lord's example prayer ends with Amen (Matthew 6:13).

Paul uses the word seven times in his letter to the Romans at the end of doxologies or benedictions (Romans 1:25, 9:5, 11:36, 15:33, 16:20,24,27)

Paul implies that people said Amen at the end of a prayer in church (1Corinthians 14:16).

So Amen is the fitting last word for solemn utterances made before God.
