Is it true that Assyrians believed their world would end if they stopped conquering?

Hi, do you know what context you have seen this in? Was it in reference to the Neo-Assyrians' unprecedented conquests, as some kind of explanation for that? Because that has more to do with various administrative and ideological innovations than anything else. So it would be useful if you could pin down where you've heard this or with some more specifics.
