For hundreds of years pastors, reverends and bishops have been prompting hand waving sections for that obedient "Amen!" This transliteration "AMEN" has been rendered a total of 182 times in 150 verses located in the Hebrew or Greek Scriptures. In the King James Version of the Holy Bible, "AMEN" appears 78 times in 72 verses. The first transliteration of "AMEN" occurs in Numbers 5:22 dated 1400 - 1440 B.C.E; its final insertion appears at Revelation 22:21 authored in 96 C.E.
"AMEN" is a transliteration of the Greek "AUHN." A transliteration is a word in which its phonetic sound has been universally preserved but not necessarily its meaning or translation. "AUHN" is a Greek translation of the Hebrew form or verb meaning to "confirm" or "support." On the other hand, "AMEN" Greek transliteration has been associated with the ancient Egyptian "Bull god" AMEN from 3777 to 2832 B.C.E. -- over 2000 years before the writing of Numbers 5:22 in 1400 - 1440 B.C.E.

Although many Christians have used "Amen" like punctuation at the end of a sentence, Christians typically emphasize it after petitioning Almighty God. However, "Amen" can not be found in the Model Prayer recorded in Matthew 6: 9 - 13. But "Amen" can be located in pagan sacred writings before the advent of Christianity in 33 C.E. "AMEN" is the Egyptian deity that predates 140 versions and 2800 translations of the Holy Bible. A "hidden" pagan god, "Amen" was fused with the Egyptian god "Ra" under Theban rulership (1186 - 945 B.C.E). Egyptians of the 20TH - 21ST Dynasties worshiped Amen (Amen-Ra) with heartfelt praise that is clearly demonstrated in Translation
of Egyptian Hymn to Amen/ Biblical Archeology – Vol. 2 (1873)

“Praise to
Amen-Ra: the bull in An (Heliopolis) chief of all gods: the good god
beloved: giving life to all animated things: to all fair cattle: Hail
to thee Amen-Ra lord of the thrones of the earth: chief in Aptu
(Thebes): the bull of his mother in his field: turning his feet
towards the land of the south: lord of the heathen, prince of Punt
(Arabia): the ancient of heaven, the oldest of the earth: lord of all
existences, the support of things, the support of all things”.
“Ra adored in Aptu
(Thebes): high-crowned in the house of the obelisk (Heliopolis): King
(Ani) lord of the New-moon festival: to whom the sixth and seventh
days are sacred: sovereign of life health and strength, lord of all
the gods: who art visible in the midst of heaven: ruler of men: whose
name is hidden from his creatures: in his name which is Amen
(hidden)”.
“They behold the
mighty one in his strength: the image of the gods of truth the lord
of Aptu: in thy name of doer of justice: lord of sacrifices, the bull
of offerings: in thy name of Amen the Bull of his mother: maker of
men: causing all things which are to exist: in thy name of Athom
Chepra (creator): the great Hawk making (each) body to rejoice:
benignly making (each) breast to rejoice: type of creators high
crowned: ..... (lord) of the wing: Uati (the diadem) is on his
forehead: the hearts of men seek him: when he appears to mortals: he
rejoices the earth with his goings forth: Hail to thee Amen-Ra lord
of the thrones of the world: beloved of his city when he shines
forth. Finished well, as it was found {in the original}.
Ancient Egyptians have been joined in their AMEN -- filled praise by Lady Gaga with her smash hit "Amen" Black Jesus on the Runway. Overlaying lyrical seduction with visual "art form" filled with dark occult symbolism, the "metro-sexual" Gaga sings into the consciousness of America:

Clearly, Lady Gaga is not raising prayer up to Heaven in Black Jesus on the Runway that transforms into "Amen" on the Runway. Moreover, Gaga has not publicly solicited Almighty God's AUHN "support' of the AMEN in Black Jesus on the Runway. But there has been no indication that Gaga is a celebrity member of occult sect Afrikania
Mission. Afrikania Mission has claimed that Christians are worshiping their deity "Amen-Ra" when concluding prayers with "AMEN." However, before the Church exerts boundless energy denying its support for the Egyptian AMEN or Gaga's AMEN or Afrikania Mission "AMEN," there is the question of Almighty God's AUHN support for the Church "AMEN?"
"And in all that I have said unto you be circumspect: and to make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth." Exodus 23:1
God, a self-described "jealous" Creator, has preserved Bible accounts that cover false worship involving countless pagan deities. However, less than 40 of these pagan "gods" have been identified with a personal name such as in the case of Tammuz, Chemosh, Molech, Baal, Jupiter and Mercury [Ezekiel 8:14 1Kings 11: 7, 33 Leviticus 20: 2 –
5 Jeremiah
23:
11
–
14, 23 – 27 Romans
11:4,
Acts 14:12]. Amen or Amen-Ra, has not been specifically
pointed out in relation to Israelite false worship but if Amen is the
Egyptian “Bull” god, it was that Egyptian religious culture that
manifested itself in the Israelite frenzied 'minting' of a
golden calf at the base of Mount Sinai. [ Exodus
32:
1 – 8, 17 – 24, 31 – 35; Compare Jeremiah 7:31]
Although
the four characters A M E N liberally appear in varying
translations of the Holy Scriptures, these were never advanced to
out number the four HEBREW characters יהוה
[YHWH] identifying the sacred proper noun identity of Almighty
God. The four Hebrew characters or consonants Y H W H (YAHWEH or
JEHOVAH) appear in the Hebrew Bible, Biblia
Hebraica
6,828 times! Scholars referring to the Hebrew consonants as the
“Tetragrammaton” have also located inscriptions of the Divine Name
of Almighty
God
on the Mesha Steel dating back to 840 B.C.E.— nearly 2500 years before
the 1611 King James English Version of the Bible that has inserted
JEHOVAH at Psalm
83:18.
But KJV has usually substituted JEHOVAH with ALL CAPS "LORD" (Compare Psalm
110:1 Matthew 24:24)

Psalm
83:18 –King James Version [1611]
18That
men may know that thou whose name alone
is
JEHOVAH, is the most High over all the Earth.
Isaiah
44: 24 KJV [1611] Comparison:
24 Thus
saith the LORD,[Jehovah]
thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD
[Jehovah] that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the [H]eavens
alone; that spreadeth abroad the [E]arth by [M]yself.
Isaiah
44:24 MacArthur Study Bible [2010] Comparison:
24 Thus
says, the LORD [Jehovah], your Redeemer, who formed you from the
womb: I am the LORD [Jehovah] who made all things, who alone
stretched
out the [H]eavens, who spread out the [E]arth by [M]yself.
If
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was here today “in the flesh” it is
unlikely that the King of Kings would suddenly add the god AMEN
to the Model Prayer in line with Egyptians, Lady Gaga, or the
Afrikania Mission. Neither would Jesus subtract from the Holy
writings that revealed the sacred name of the Almighty Creator who has jealously distinguished His identity from other
“gods”, including AMEN. Jesus Christ knew that the Almighty
Creator had a sacred or sanctified proper
noun identity [John 17:3 Psalm 83:18].
Jesus [YEHOSHUA] prayed to “YAHWEH” or
“JEHOVAH” when under trial or suffering for the sins of
humankind. Jesus
petitioned “Yahweh” or “Jehovah” for AUHN support—not the
support of the pagan deity AMEN. In contrast with a deaf pagan
deity, Almighty JEHOVAH the “Hearer of Prayers” had the ability
to amazingly respond---again setting His miraculous record apart
from AMEN or the thousands of other false lifeless gods in the
religious hemisphere of the Earth! [Psalm 65: 2 Isaiah
44:
6 – 8, 14 – 20, Matthew
