Without looking, do you know what the last word in the Bible is? If not, what would you guess? No, it is not, “The End”! If it helps, it is also the last word in the books of Romans, First Corinthians, Galatians, Second Peter and Jude. God closes His inspired revelation with this word–“Amen.” Think about that.
The English word “amen” comes from the Greek word amen, which appears 152 times in the Greek New Testament. It is translated “amen” 50 times, and most of the other occurrences are translated “verily” (KJV/ASV), “assuredly” (NKJV) or “truly” (NASB/ESV). The word “amen” simply means, “so be it.” It acknowledges that which is certain and true.
So, the last word in your Bible is “Amen.” The Bible tells of God’s amazing love and the grace that He extends toward us through our Lord Jesus Christ. He promises to save us from our sins and give us eternal victory in heaven. How else would you end such a book? “So be it!”
