The term is often associated with divine intervention, human decision-making, and moral imperatives.<br><br>1. <b>Divine Intervention</b>: Throughout Scripture, God often intervenes in human affairs, commanding individuals or nations to stop certain actions. For instance, in the account of the Tower of Babel, God intervenes to stop the construction by confusing the language of the people (<a href="/genesis/11-7.htm">Genesis 11:7-8</a>): "Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they stopped building the city."<br><br>2. <b>Moral Imperatives</b>: The Bible frequently calls for individuals to stop sinful behaviors and turn towards righteousness. In the prophetic literature, there are numerous calls for repentance, urging people to cease their wicked ways. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/1-16.htm">Isaiah 1:16-17</a> , the prophet exhorts, "Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil! Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow."<br><br>3. <b>Sabbath Rest</b>: The concept of stopping is also central to the observance of the Sabbath, a day of rest instituted by God. The commandment to keep the Sabbath involves ceasing from labor and dedicating the day to rest and worship. <a href="/exodus/20-10.htm">Exodus 20:10</a> states, "But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates."<br><br>4. <b>Divine Protection</b>: The Bible also speaks of God stopping harm or danger from befalling His people. In the account of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, God stops the pursuing Egyptian army by parting the Red Sea and then allowing the waters to return, thus halting the threat (<a href="/exodus/14-27.htm">Exodus 14:27-28</a>): "So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state. As the Egyptians fled before it, the LORD swept them into the sea. The waters flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had chased the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived."<br><br>5. <b>Personal Reflection and Prayer</b>: The Psalms often reflect a personal call to stop and reflect on God's goodness and faithfulness. <a href="/psalms/46-10.htm">Psalm 46:10</a> encourages believers to pause and recognize God's sovereignty: "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth."<br><br>6. <b>Judgment and Consequences</b>: The Bible warns of the consequences of failing to stop sinful behavior. In the New Testament, Jesus warns of the need to stop sinning to avoid judgment. In <a href="/john/5-14.htm">John 5:14</a> , after healing a man, Jesus advises, "See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you."<br><br>The theme of stopping in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing divine commands, moral exhortations, and spiritual disciplines. It serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience, reflection, and the pursuit of holiness in the life of a believer.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
