The God of the Amen
Commentators like Ellicott and Gill note that the Hebrew for 'God of truth' is literally 'the God of the Amen.' This directly connects to Jesus, who is called 'the Amen, the faithful and true witness' in Revelation 3:14. This verse prophesies a time when all true worship, blessings, and oaths will be directed to God through Christ.
