The concept of "terminate" in the Bible is often associated with the end of life, the cessation of certain practices, or the conclusion of specific events or periods. While the term "terminate" itself may not be explicitly used in the Berean Standard Bible , the idea is conveyed through various passages and themes.

End of Life: The Bible frequently addresses the termination of life, emphasizing the transient nature of human existence. In Ecclesiastes 3:2, it is written, "a time to be born and a time to die," highlighting the inevitability of death as part of God's ordained order. The termination of life is also seen as a transition to an eternal state, as expressed in Hebrews 9:27, "Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment."

Cessation of Sinful Practices: The Bible calls for the termination of sinful behaviors and practices. In Romans 6:12-13, Paul exhorts believers, "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires. Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life." This passage encourages Christians to terminate their relationship with sin and live in righteousness.

End of the Age: The termination of the current age and the ushering in of God's eternal kingdom is a significant biblical theme. Jesus speaks of the end times in Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." This indicates a future termination of the present world order, culminating in the establishment of God's everlasting dominion.

Conclusion of Covenants and Laws: The Bible also discusses the termination of certain covenants and laws with the advent of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 8:13 states, "By calling this covenant 'new,' He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear." This reflects the termination of the Old Covenant's ceremonial laws, replaced by the new relationship established through Christ.

Divine Judgment: Termination is also associated with divine judgment, where God brings an end to wickedness and injustice. In Revelation 20:14, the finality of judgment is depicted: "Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire." This portrays the ultimate termination of evil and the establishment of God's righteous rule.

In summary, the concept of termination in the Bible encompasses the end of life, the cessation of sin, the conclusion of the age, the fulfillment of covenants, and the execution of divine judgment. These themes underscore the transient nature of earthly existence and the eternal significance of God's redemptive plan.1. (v. t.)
