The term is used in various contexts throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance of stopping certain actions or behaviors in accordance with God's will.<br><br><b>Cessation of Work and Rest</b><br><br>The idea of ceasing from labor is rooted in the creation narrative. In <a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a> , it is written, "By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished." Here, the cessation of work is not only a divine example but also a commandment for humanity, as seen in the observance of the Sabbath (<a href="/exodus/20-8.htm">Exodus 20:8-11</a>).<br><br><b>Cessation of Conflict</b><br><br>The Bible frequently speaks of the cessation of conflict as a divine act or a result of obedience to God. In <a href="/psalms/46-9.htm">Psalm 46:9</a> , it is declared, "He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire." This passage highlights God's sovereignty over nations and His power to bring peace. The cessation of war is often linked to the establishment of God's kingdom and the ultimate peace that will come with the reign of the Messiah (<a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a>).<br><br><b>Cessation of Sinful Behavior</b><br><br>Scripture also calls for the cessation of sinful behavior as a response to God's holiness and righteousness. In <a href="/isaiah/1-16.htm">Isaiah 1:16</a> , the prophet exhorts, "Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!" This call to cease from sin is a recurring theme, urging believers to turn away from wickedness and pursue righteousness.<br><br><b>Cessation of Speech</b><br><br>The Bible advises the cessation of certain types of speech, particularly those that are harmful or deceitful. In <a href="/proverbs/10-19.htm">Proverbs 10:19</a> , it is stated, "When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise." The wisdom literature often emphasizes the importance of controlling one's tongue and ceasing from idle or harmful talk (<a href="/james/1-19.htm">James 1:19</a>).<br><br><b>Divine Cessation</b><br><br>The ultimate cessation is found in the eschatological promises of Scripture, where God will bring an end to all suffering, pain, and death. <a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a> assures believers, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away." This promise of divine cessation offers hope and assurance of God's final victory over sin and death.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of "cease" encompasses a range of applications, from rest and peace to the cessation of sin and speech, all pointing towards a life aligned with God's will and the ultimate fulfillment of His redemptive plan.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the King James Version 15 of the former and 3 of the latter are used only once with this rendering. The originals most frequently in use are chadhal, "to leave off"; shabhath "to rest from" (labor); pauomai, "to make to cease." Few words illustrate better the fertility of the Hebrew in expressing limitless shades of meaning, impoverished by the use of one English word. This extensive variety is, however, well expressed by "cease": i.e. stop, come to an end, e.g. ceasing of tears (<a href="/jeremiah/14-17.htm">Jeremiah 14:17</a>); work (<a href="/ezra/4-24.htm">Ezra 4:24</a>); grinders (<a href="/ecclesiastes/12-3.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:3</a>); thunder (<a href="/exodus/9-29.htm">Exodus 9:29</a>); the wicked (<a href="/job/3-17.htm">Job 3:17</a>); anger (<a href="/psalms/37-8.htm">Psalm 37:8</a>). The significance of shabhath lies in its being the Hebrew for Sabbath, implying complete cessation: as of manna (<a href="/joshua/5-12.htm">Joshua 5:12</a>); strife and ignominy (<a href="/proverbs/22-10.htm">Proverbs 22:10</a>); occurs with negative to show the ceaseless Providence of God in Nature: "summer and winter. shall not c." (<a href="/genesis/8-22.htm">Genesis 8:22</a>). In the New Testament it illustrates Christ's power over Nature; wind and raging sea ceased (<a href="/luke/8-24.htm">Luke 8:24</a>); over a sinner's heart: "not ceased to kiss my feet" (dialeipo) (<a href="/luke/7-45.htm">Luke 7:45</a>); devotion of the early disciples, "ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus as the Christ" (<a href="/acts/5-42.htm">Acts 5:42</a>); the eternity and blessedness of the believer's sabbatic rest (apoleipo) (<a href="/hebrews/4-10.htm">Hebrews 4:10</a> the King James Version).<br><br>Dwight M.
