The True Meaning of "AMEN"



Amun, and later, Amun-Re was worshipped in Egypt as a hidden, secret god. His name (Imn), means “the hidden one” or “the secret one“.According to mythology, both his name and physical appearance were unknown, thus indicating his unknowable essence.

The Egyptians believed that, Amun was unknown because he represented absolute holiness.He was associated with the air as an invisible force According to Egyptian myth, was self-created. It was believed that he could regenerate himself by becoming a snake and shedding his skin.Amun-Re combined had two opposites of divinity, the hidden and the revealed. As Amun, he was secret,hidden and mysterious, but as Re, he was visible and revealed.

Who is Amen(Amon\Amun) really….?
  1. Amen(Amun) means the “Hidden One” or “The Secret One”.
  2. Amen(Amun) is associated with the air as an invinsible force.
  3. Amen(Amun) has the power to take the form of a snake.
  4. Amen(Amun-Ra) = Baal = Zeus (Greek)

Let’s check what the Scriptures say….
Ephesians 2:2 - Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of thisworld, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (Amen,Baal,Lord,Satan) that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Genesis 3:1-4 -Now the serpent (snake) was more subtil than any beast of the field which Elohim had made. And he said unto the woman, yea, hath Elohim said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden...

Revelation 12:9 -And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent (snake), called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.


Does YAH permit the use of "AMEN"? 
Exodus 23:13 – And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Hosea 2:17,19- For I (YAH) will take away the names of Baalim (Lord,Amen) out of her (His Bride) mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Duetronomy 18:20 -But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods(Lord,Amen), even that prophet shall die.

The Deception

It is common to end a discourse on spiritual matters, (or end a prayer with the word "Amen". Few of us realize that the word 'Amen' is an Egyptian word. It refers to the Egyptian god of Thebes.The Hebrews adopted the word and it passed into the assembly and used as "Amen". It is a petition for the (god - Amen to fulfill our words).

The Israelite exiles from Egypt knew that YAH was not the same as the Egyptian god Aten, and so they presumed he must be the equivalent of the great state god of Egypt. It was decided, therefore, to add the name of that state-god of Egypt to all prayers thereafter,and the name of that Egyptian god was "Amen". To this day, the name of Amen is still recited at the end of prayers in both Jewish and Christian religions.
-Genesis of the Grail Kings by Sir Laurence Gardner;pg.6

"Amen: An Egyptian divity ...
He was worshipped ... as Amen-Ra or 'Amen the Sun.'
-Smith’s Bible Dictionary
Again we can see how the pagans have been made welcome, been conciliated, by adopting the name of a pagan deity into the prayers of the Church [of Rome]. This deity became known as ‘Amen-Ra’, but he was only known as ‘Amen’ among the Thebians.”

-The Final Reformation by Chris Koster

By ending our prayers in 'Amen' ... one could very well ask, "Have we been misled to invoke the name of the Egyptian 'Sun-god' at the end of our prayers?"
-United Hebrew Congregation - Charles J.Voss
"When we did it in ignorance, may be Elohim looked past that. But now that you know the truth, what will you do? Will you continue to use the name of a pagan god to close your prayers? Is it too hard to change that now?
Because you've been using the 'amen' tradition for a long time - will you rationalize and justify why you keep on invoking th name of the Egyptian god, Amen? Will you find a pastor or teacher to reassure you that "it's okay to say 'amen' - Or ...will you give thanks to Elohim for revealing His truth and stop using the name of a pagan god?
-by J.D. Roberts
