It's something that has been commented from time to time, and it seems that it's a reference to Thelema (a real-life philosophy):
> "The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra."
Even a book on Thelema used that "the ending of the words" formula as its title.
Aleister Crowley described Abrahadabra as "the Word of the Aeon, which signifieth The Great Work accomplished". The parallelisms between Thelema and the 36 Lessons are known and have been discussed in the past, but I must admit I don't know enough to comment on them, or how it can be translated into Vivec's philosophy.
What I find interesting is that in Sermon 18 the wording changed to "the end of the world is ALMSIVI", in Sermon 36 it becomes "the beginning of the words is ALMSIVI", and in Sermon 37 (although that one is easier to explain) "the worlding of the words is AMARANTH".
