Just as I was thinking , well USA President Biden is actually awake, cognizant  of what is happening,  and doing a very good job in this immediate aftermath of the attack upon Israel, I read a quote from him, ..."Israel has the right to defend itself and its people, full stop." ....

What on earth is  defending" full stop"? To me "Full Stop" is a ship's pilot or captain, the commander on the bridge, shutting down his vessel, leaving it dead in the water.  

Am I missing something, or is it another Biden misfunction of his brain as he tries to articulate USA support for Israel?

Lord help us, protect our military as it positions itself to engage in hot war. May the military families not have the distraction of our civilian political parties disagreeing about budgets  holding them and their families as financial hostages in the process. May all military families have security of knowing they will be paid on time all the time. May our nation's people  raise up to the need today. Amen

It means that Israel has a right to defend itself, and this isn't up for debate. That's the contextual meaning of this particular idiom.

A full stop is another term for the period punctuation mark. It's used similarly to the word "period" as well when used to emphasize a a point.

Hi Neighbour, I just used a comma. Now I've used a full stop. (The predictive algorithm beat me to it. PTL)

full stop
[full stop]

Oh my, he is reading the punctuation instructions. His influencers wanted him to pause and then go on instead he read aloud full stop.

 Decades ago I wrote the  script for a Memorial Day service with some 2000 attendees to be present at my employers place of business. Unfortunately the president of the Los Angeles City council did not look at it ahead of time and proceeded to  read aloud every margin note of the speech  prepared for him. 

Did I ever get a grilling over that one!

It's commonplace to use "full stop" or "period" as an idiom or figure of speech to express an emphatic point not to be argued against.

e.g. When it comes to sermons preached here in New Zealand, there are to be no Americanisms used, full stop.

A one-veteran rant:

I could interpret “full stop” another way. I am abandoning an aircraft carrier off the coast of Gaza for Hamas, period. Sound ridiculous or vindictive? Look no further than Afghanistan. Or the billions in cash flown to Iran to support Hamas and Hezbollah. Or,…

This administration is inept, and I cannot visualize how they can become more incompetent nationally or as the world's global police force. I am surprised by the Commander and Cheese's words thus far.

Netanyahu has declared war, and Hezbollah is now joining Hamas. As I posted in another thread, it would not surprise me if this turns into a regional war, a.k.a. Psalm 83 War.

As demonstrated in every war, police action, skirmish, and conflict we have been involved with since WW II. Our nation no longer has the resolve and commitment to see things through to its conclusion. We have had no victories or gained anything, only severe losses, alley mistrust, and embarrassment.

It will be interesting to see how all this plays out, historically and prophetically. No doubt, if it does come down to negotiations, what will be the center of the bargaining chip? Land for peace, of course. The decades failed, and God forbidden brokered deal.

Agreed.  The term "Full stop" is used in UK english.

It was top of mind, full stop.  Yeah sure says me. I see and hear now like when Biden's excuse makers starting using Top of Mind as an expression that they are now all in synch using full stop as often as they can. No Joke.

As for me Full Stop rings command to the engine room bring us to dead in the water rapidly, now!

That's probably what the teleprompter said. He was supposed to go to the next sentence. Oh well.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
