The Hebrew of the Old Testament reveals to us that the Scriptural Hebrew word(which means: so be it, or verily, or surely) is "Amein" and not "Amen." Likewise, the Greekequivalent in the Greek New Testament is pronounced: "Amein." The Egyptians, including theAlexandrians, had been worshiping, or been acquainted with, the head of the Egyptian pantheon,Amen-Ra, the great Sun-deity, for more than one thousand years B.C. Before he was known asAmen-Ra, he was known as Amen among the Thebans.

According to Funk and Wagnall's Standard College Dictionary, AMEN wasthe god of life and procreation in Egyptian mythology, and later identified with the Sun-godas the supreme deity and called "Amen-Ra." Smith's Bible Dictionary and EgyptianBelief and Modern Thought agree.

Our Saviour Yahushua calls Himself "the Amein" in Revelation 3: 14. One mightask: Have we been misled to invoke the name of the Egyptian Sun-deity at the end of ourprayers?
