Commentary

Matthew Henry on Daniel 12:5–end

Daniel had been made to foresee the amazing revolutions of states and kingdoms, as far as the Israel of God was concerned in them; in them he foresaw troublous times to the church, suffering trying times, the prospect of which much affected him and filled him with concern. Now there were two questions proper to be asked upon this head: - When shall the end be? And, What shall the end be? These two questions are asked and answered here, in the close of the book; and though the comforts prescribed in the foregoing verses, one would think, were satisfactory enough, yet, for more abundant satisfaction, this is added. I. The question, When shall the end be? is asked by an angel, Dan 12:5, Dan 12:…

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Daniel 12:13

rest--in the grave (Job 3:17; Isa 57:2). He, like his people Israel, was to wait patiently and confidently for the blessing till 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, that he and the older Old Testament saints "without us should not be made perfect" (Heb 11:40). stand--implying justification unto life, as opposed to condemnation (Psa 1:5). thy lot--image from the allotment of the earthly Canaan. Next: Hosea Introduction

Adam Clarke on 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 favor 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 at the end of…

The Church Fathers

The words, "You shall rise at the end of the days," through the previous sentence shows him that he will not be forever tested by the afflictions of the people. Through this sentence he says to him that, at the fixed and appointed time, at the end of the world, he will receive the expected resurrection, which Christ will perform at his second coming.
— Ishodad of Merv, COMMENTARY ON DANIEL 12:12

Then Daniel also says this very thing: "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of those under the heaven, is given to the saints of the Most High God, whose kingdom is everlasting, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." And lest the promise named should be understood as referring to this time, it was declared to the prophet: "And come thou, and stand in thy lot at the consummation of the days."
— Irenaeus, Against Heresies Book V

"And as for you, rest and rise at your time"—a more correct reading would be "for your inheritance," as will become clear from the things that follow—"at the end of the days." He says in effect, "Now you must receive the end of your days; but you will rise—and not merely rise but rise for your inheritance, that is, with the company of like-minded people." And once he has shown this, he adds, "at the end of the days." So the divine archangel clearly taught the resurrection through the blessed, no, thrice-blessed Daniel.
