The final word in the Book of Revelation, “” (amen), is a transliterated Hebrew word signifying affirmation, agreement, or certainty. It concludes the final doxology, expressing emphatic agreement with the preceding blessings and pronouncements about the return of Christ and the establishment of the new creation.
Its placement underscores the finality and unwavering truth of the prophetic visions described in Revelation. This concluding affirmation serves as a powerful emphasis on the certainty of God’s promises and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. Historically, “amen” has held a significant place in Judeo-Christian liturgical practice, serving as a verbal affirmation of prayers, hymns, and pronouncements of faith.
