Rev 19:4 And the twenty four elders, and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God sitting on the throne, saying, Amen! Hallelujah!





και φωνη εκ του θρονου εξηλθεν λεγουσα αινειτε τον θεον ημων παντες οι δουλοι αυτου και οι φοβουμενοι αυτον και οι μικροι και οι μεγαλοι

kai fwnh apo tou qronou exhlqen legousa aineite tw qew hmwn pantes oi douloi autou | | [kai] | oi foboumenoi auton oi mikroi kai oi megaloi

Rev 19:5 And a voice came out from the throne, saying, Praise our God, all His slaves, and the ones fearing Him, the small and the great.





και παν καταναθεμα ουκ εσται ετι και ο θρονος του θεου και του αρνιου εν αυτη εσται και οι δουλοι αυτου λατρευσουσιν αυτω

kai pan kataqema ouk estai eti kai o qronos tou qeou kai tou arniou en auth estai kai oi douloi autou latreusousin autw

Rev 22:3 And every curse will no longer be. And the throne of God and the Lamb will be in it; and His slaves will serve Him.

Occurrences of “ameenin” in the Koran: 12

Summary of 81.21:

• The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
• Revelation tells us that the Lamb (i.e. Jesus) not only occupies the Throne of God, but that He is “lat reuo”, or served, as well as “aineo”, or praised, and “proskuneo”, or worshiped , and “phobeo”, or feared as God, as well
• 81.21 continues with 81.20 by informing us that His Word (i.e. Jesus) not only occupies the Throne of God, but that He is “mutaAAin” (singular), or the “obeyed one” – that He is entitled to be obeyed
• A survey of the Koran yields 37 ayahs that mention that both allah and his messenger (i.e. Jesus) are to be obeyed
• Hence, the proclamation in 81.21 of a singular obeying at the throne is to be expected
• Revelation describes the worshiping of God on the Throne with the added suffix of “Amen”
• Interestingly, 81.21 also follows suit by adding its own “ameenin”, or Amen
• Revelation also describes the worshiping of God on the Throne with the added suffix of “allelouia”, or praise ye Lord
• “Ameenin”, in 81.21, can also mean “O’Lord”, as it is one of the names of God – thus adding additional support to Jesus being God Almighty
