Apocalypse Explained (Tansley) n. 34

34. Amen. That this signifies Divine confirmation, is evident from the signification of amen, as being truth, for this is meant by amen in the Hebrew language. And as all truth which is truth, is Divine, therefore amen, when used in the Word, signifies Divine confirmation. For truth confirms all things, even Divine truth itself; and because the Lord was Divine truth itself when he was in the world, therefore the Lord so frequently used the word amen.
