1Ch 16:36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
AMEN, from the Hebrew אמז signifying truth, firmness, stability. Hence in the New Testament as in the Old, it denotes, affirmative, as in truth, verily, it is so. αμην, amen, is equivalent to αληθως, aleethos, truly, in truth; and so the seventy render the Hebrew ahmain by aleeth̃s. It also denotes consent or desire, “so be it!” And in this sense it concludes prayers and thanksgivings. It is applied as a noun to the Lord Jesus in Rev. 3:14. “These things saith ὀ Αμην the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God.” In Isaiah 65:16, it is written, “He who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in אלהי אמז elohai ahmain; which literally rendered, is Gods of Amen or Truth, and translated by the seventy τον Θεον τον αληθενον, the true God. The Amen Gods are the Father and the Son, the former manifested through the latter by the Spirit.
