Daniel 12
1. Michael shall deliver Israel from their troubles.
5. Daniel is informed of the times.














But as for you
This phrase is a direct address to Daniel, emphasizing the personal nature of the message. In Hebrew, the word "you" is singular, indicating that God is speaking specifically to Daniel. This personal address highlights the intimate relationship between God and His faithful servant. It serves as a reminder that God knows each of His followers individually and has a specific plan for each one.

go your way
The phrase "go your way" suggests a continuation of life’s journey. In the Hebrew context, it implies living out one's life in faithfulness and obedience. Daniel is encouraged to continue in his path, trusting in God's sovereignty. This is a call to perseverance, reminding believers that their journey on earth is temporary and that they should remain steadfast in their faith.

until the end
This phrase refers to the end of Daniel's life or the end of the age. The Hebrew word for "end" can mean completion or fulfillment. It signifies that Daniel's earthly mission will conclude, but it also points to the eschatological end when God's ultimate plan will be fulfilled. For Christians, this is a reminder of the hope of eternal life and the fulfillment of God's promises.

Then you will rest
"Rest" here is a euphemism for death, but it carries a connotation of peace and completion. In the Hebrew tradition, rest is often associated with the peace that follows a life well-lived in accordance with God's will. This assurance of rest is a promise of peace and reward for Daniel's faithfulness, reflecting the Christian hope of eternal rest in the presence of God.

and rise
The word "rise" is a powerful promise of resurrection. In the Hebrew context, it signifies standing up or being established. This is one of the earliest references to the resurrection of the dead in the Old Testament, affirming the belief in life after death. For Christians, it is a foreshadowing of the resurrection of Christ and the promise of resurrection for all believers.

to your allotted portion
This phrase indicates a specific inheritance or reward. In ancient Israel, land was divided among tribes and families, and each person had an allotted portion. Spiritually, it signifies the rewards that await the faithful in the afterlife. It reassures believers that God has prepared a place for them, echoing Jesus' promise in the New Testament of preparing a place for His followers.

at the end of the days
This final phrase points to the culmination of history and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom. In the Hebrew context, "the end of the days" refers to the eschatological future when God's purposes are fully realized. For Christians, it is a reminder of the second coming of Christ and the final judgment, encouraging them to live in anticipation of this glorious future.

(13) In thy lot.--The reference is to the partition of Palestine by lot in the times of Joshua. Even so shall one greater than Joshua divide the heavenly Canaan among His saints who follow Daniel in faith, firmness, and consistency. (See Colossians 1:12.)

Verse 13. - But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. The Septuagint Version here differs considerably from the Massoretic, "Go thy way and rest, for there are days and hours till the fulfilment of the end; and thou shalt rest and arise to thy glory at the end of days." Theodotion closely resembles the LXX. in his rendering of this verse, "But go thou and rest, for there are yet days and hours to the fulfilment of the end, and thou shalt arise in thy lot at the end of days." The Pesbitta renders, "Go, Daniel, to the end, rest and arise at thy time at the end of days." The Vulgate agrees with the Massoretic text. As to the additional clause which appears in the version of the LXX. and in Theodotion, Origen has appended the mark which indicates that these words were only found in the LXX., or, at all events, had nothing corresponding to them in the Hebrew text of his day. Go thou thy way. Daniel is dismissed in peace, without having his question answered. Before Daniel was a course, and on that course he was to go, without occupying his thoughts with this secret thing. There is no word for "way" in the Hebrew or in any of the older versions. Till the end. The versions transpose this clause with that which follows. "The end" is not naturally the end of Daniel's life, for that ought to be "thy end;" still, the next clause seems to necessitate this. Hitzig would interpret the word qaytz as "goal" (ziel); but it is not the usual meaning of the word, and is not so used elsewhere in this passage. Professor Robertson Smith's suggestion (Bevan, 207), that the word קֵצ (qaytz) is due to a mistake of a copyist, who has inserted it wrongly, is worthy of consideration. For thou shalt rest. This is rendered by Hitzig, "und magst ruhig sein" - "and you may be at rest." The fulfilment of the prophecy was fur a time long future, and Daniel need not disturb himself. Against this interpretation is the fact that the verb נוַּה (nuah), here translated "rest," never has the subjective meaning which Hitzig here attaches to it. The natural view is that of Ewald and most interpreters - "rest" in the grave. And strand in thy lot at the end of the days. In Jeremiah 13:25 "lot" is used for what is assigned by the judgment of God. "Standing in the lot" primarily suggests one taking possession of what has been assigned by Divine judgment. It is objected by Hitzig that the verb "to stand" does not mean to rise from the dead, which is true; but the connection necessitates this meaning, and as the idea of resurrection had not received theological definition, no technical word would have the exclusive claim to be used. Even now we do not always use "resurrection," and in poetry rarely do. "The end of days" must mean the end of time after the resurrection.
