Daniel 12:13

But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy GO THOU THY WAY UNTIL THE END BE: FOR THOU SHALT REST - in the grave (; , "He (the righteous) shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds"): He, like his people Israel, was to wait patiently and confidently for the blessing until God's time. He "received not the promise," but had to wait until the Christian elect saints should be brought in, at the first resurrection, "God having provided some better thing for us," that he and the other Old Testament saints "without us should not be made perfect" (). AND STAND IN THY LOT AT THE END OF THE DAYS - implying justification unto life, as opposed to condemnation ...

Here the angel repeats what he had said before, the, full time of perfect light had not yet arrived, because God wished to hold the minds of his people in suspense until the manifestation of Christ. The angel, therefore, dismisses the Prophet, and in commanding him to depart, says — Be content with thy lot, for God wishes to put off the complete manifestation of this prophecy to another time, which he himself knows to be the fitting one. He afterwards adds, _And then shalt rest and shalt stand _Others translate it, _rest and stand; _but the angel does not seem to me to command or order what he wishes to be done, but to announce future events, as if he had said, — Thou shalt rest, meaning, thou shalt die, and then thou shalt stand; meaning, thy death shall not be complete destruction. For God shall cause thee to stand in thy lot with the rest of the elect; _and that, too, at the end of th...

5-13 One of the angels asking how long it should be to the end of these wonders, a solemn reply is made, that it would be for a time, times, and a half, the period mentioned ch. Daniel 7:25, and in the Revelation. It signifies 1260 prophetic days or years, beginning from the time when the power of the holy people should be scattered. The imposture of Mohammed, and the papal usurpation, began about the same time; and these were a twofold attack upon the church of God. But all will end well at last. All opposing rule, principality, and power, shall be put down, and holiness and love will triumph, and be in honour, to eternity. The end, this end, shall come. What an amazing prophecy is this, of so many varied events, and extending through so many successive ages, even to the general resurrection! Daniel must comfort himself with the pleasing prospect of his own happiness in death, in judgm...

Verse Daniel 12:13. _BUT GO THOU THY WAY TILL THE END_ BE] Here is proper advice for every man. 1. Thou hast a _way_ - a _walk in life_, which God has assigned thee; _walk in that way_, it is _thy way_. 2. There will be an _end_ to thee of all earthly things. Death is at the door, and eternity is at hand; _go on to the end_ - be faithful unto death. 3. There is a _rest_ provided for the people of God. Thou shalt _rest_; thy _body_, in the _grave_; thy _soul_, in the _Divine favour_ here, and finally in _paradise_. 4. As in the promised land there was a _lot_ for _each_ of _God's people_, so in heaven there is a _lot_ for _thee_. Do not _lose_ it, do not _sell_ it, do not let thy enemy _rob thee_ of it. Be determined to stand in thy own lot a

BUT GO THOU THY WAY UNTIL THE END BE - See Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9. The meaning is, that nothing more would be communicated, and that he must wait for the disclosures of future times. When that should occur which is here called “the end,” he would understand this more fully and perfectly. The language implies, also, that he would be present at the development which is here called “the end;” and that then he would comprehend clearly what was meant by these revelations. This is such language as would be used on the supposition that the reference was to far-distant times, and to the scenes of the resurrection and the final judgment, when Daniel would be present. Compare the notes at Daniel 12:2....

EXPOSITION DANIEL 12:1 THE LAST THINGS. DANIEL 12:1 AND AT THAT TIME SHALL MICHAEL STAND UP, THE GREAT PRINCE WHICH STANDSTH FOR THE CHILDREN OF THY PEOPLE: AND THERE SHALL BE A TIME OF TROUBLE, SUCH AS NEVER WAS SINCE THERE WAS A NATION EVEN TO THAT SAME TIME; AND AT THAT TIME THY PEOPLE SHALL BE DELIVERED, EVERY ONE THAT SHALL BE FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK. The rendering of the Septuagint is "And unto that place shall come Michael the archangel, who standeth over (ἐπὶ) the children of thy people; that day shall be a day of affliction, such as was not from the day when they were [presumably the Jews as a nation] till that day, and in that day every people shall be exalted wh

BUT GO THOU THY WAY TILL THE END BE,.... Prepare for death and expect to be under the power of it, to lie in the grave, till the end of the world, until the resurrection morn: FOR THOU SHALT REST; from all toil and labour, from all sin and sorrow; his body in the grave, his soul in the bosom of Christ: and stand in thy lot at the end of the days; signifying that he should rise again from the dead, have his part in the first resurrection, his share of the glory of the Millennium state, and his portion in the heavenly inheritance of the saints; the antitype of Canaan, which was divided by lot to the children of Israel: and, in the faith and hope of this, it became him to be contented and satisfied; believing the accomplishment of all that had been shown him, and looking for the blessedness which was promised him. Agreeable to which is the paraphrase of Jacchiades; "but thou, O Daniel, go...

CHAPTER 12 THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND ISRAEL'S DELIVERANCE “ And at that time.” What time? The time of the end, the time of trouble such as never was before; the same time to which our Lord refers in Matthew 24:21 . Michael, the great prince which standeth for the Jewish people, is now also mentioned again. He will stand up and take a leading part in the events of that time. From the book of Revelation we learn (chapter 12) that there will be war in heaven, that is where Satan has his dominion now as the prince of the power of the air. Michael, assisted by his angels, will cast out the great dragon, the devil and his angels. They will be forced down to the earth. Then when Satan and his angels are cast out the great tribulation will be instituted Rev 12:12. Michael will stand up in another sense and take a definite part in the deliverance of Daniel's people. It is not fully reve

DANIEL 12. follows immediately upon the preceding paragraph, and there should be no break between the two Chapter s. 1- 3 forms the ending of the revelation which the angel makes to Daniel, and describes the deliverance of Israel and the resurrection of the just. Daniel 12:1. at that time: at the overthrow of Antiochus. THE GREAT PRINCE: the guardian angel of Israel (_cf. Daniel 10:13; Daniel 10:21_). IN THE BOOK: _ i.e._ the book of life (_cf._ Psalms 69:28; Revelation 3:5 _et passim)._...
