Origin of AMEN in Judaism, Islam and Christianity
I have always had interest in archaeology and history of Ancient world. I spend about many years of my life involved with studying the Scriptures and I am always fascinated how there are still so much I don’t know about it.
In the three religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, whenever the faithful pray, regardless of language, they always end their prayer by saying Amen. There is no linguistic translation for Amen, because it is a name and not a word. The origin of Amen is Egyptian, for Amen was the name of G-D. The Yahudim have learned about Amen during their sojourn in Egypt, which lasted for four generations.The name of Amen, which means the Hidden One, in Ancient Egypt, lives on.
This video talks about where AMEN originated. Historical records do indicate that the ancient Egyptians had, among their many gods, a god called Amen (the presumed personification of air or breath, represented by a ram or goose) or this video talks about AMEN-RA (Sun G-d). However, some people claim that there are no evidence can be found, linking the word amen (Hebrew: “truth”, “so be it”) to this, or any other, pagan god.
My Personal Commentary:
Historical records do indicate that the ancient Egyptians had, among their many gods, a god called Amen (the presumed personification of air or breath, represented by a ram or goose) AMEN-RA (Sun G-d).
However, some people claim, including myself, that there are no evidence can be found, linking the word AMEIN (Hebrew: “truth”, “so be it”) to this, or any other, pagan god.
