E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Daniel 12:12

Blessed = O the blisses! See Psalms 1:1 . The only Beatitude in this book. waiteth = is steadfast. Compare Matthew 24:13 .Mark 13:13 .Revelation 2:26 . the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days . See App-90 . The Hebrew accent suggests the rendering: "Blessed is he that expecteth and shall reach [the goal: he shall reach] to day, 1335. " read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 12:12

"Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be; for thou shalt rest, and shall stand in thy lot, at the end of the days."It is strange that the "thousand three hundred and five and thirty days" should have been identified by the definite article "the," as if this time period had already been mentioned earlier. This is the grounds upon which many hold this to be merely a variable of the "the time, and times, and... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 12:11-12

Daniel 12:11-12. From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, &c.— The days here mentioned are still prophetic days or years. The setting up the abomination of desolation appears to be a general phrase, and comprehensive of many events. It is applied, 1Ma 1:54 to the profanation of the temple by Antiochus; and by our Lord, Mat 24:15 to the destruction of the city and temple by the Romans. It may for the same reason be applied to the Roman emperor Adrian's building a temple to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 12:12

The Lord said that those people will be blessed who keep waiting, presumably for God to rescue them (Daniel 12:1), and attain to the 1,335 days. Why did he mention this particular number of days, and when will this period end?The 1,335-day period is 45 days (one and a half months) longer than the 1,290-day period just mentioned (Daniel 12:11). Evidently this period will end after the Tribulation has ended, namely, after the millennial reign of Christ has begun or at least after He has returned... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

The Final VisionThese chs, form a connected whole, with three sub-divisions. Dan 10:1 to Dan 11:1 are introductory; Dan 11:2 to Dan 12:4 contain a detailed account of future events down to the 'time of the end.' This time is further defined in the concluding section, Daniel 12:5-13.(a) Introduction (Dan 10:1 to Dan 11:1)In the third year of Cyrus, after three weeks of mourning and fasting, Daniel has a vision by the river Hiddekel of a glorious angelic being (Dan 10:1-10), who addresses him in... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12:3 I do believe the station of a popular preacher is one of the greatest trials on earth: a man in that position does not stop to soberly calculate how much, or rather how little is done when there appears a great effect, nor to consider how immense is the difference between deeply affecting the feelings and permanently changing the heart. The preacher who causes a great sensation and excited feelings is not necessarily the one who will receive the reward of shining as the stars for... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

THE EPILOGUE(Daniel 12:1-13)THE twelfth chapter of the Book of Daniel serves as a general epilogue to the Book, and is as little free from difficulties in the interpretation of the details as are the other apocalyptic chapters.The keynote, however, to their right understanding must be given in the words "At that time," with which the first verse opens. The words can only mean "the time" spoken of at the end of the last chapter, the days of that final effort of Antiochus against the holy people... read more
