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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 12:13

Daniel 12:13. Till the end be— To thy station. Rest and continue in thy lot, till the end of thy days. It is hereby signified, that Daniel should live in peace and tranquillity till the end of his days; and that the evils which had just been shewn him were yet at a great distance: and it also, probably, signifies, that Daniel should be a partaker of all the privileges of the first resurrection, and have then a glorious lot with the saints of God. See Revelation 20:5-6. REFLECTIONS.—1st, When... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 12:13

The Lord then dismissed the aged prophet. He was to go his way to the end. The Lord may have had the end of Daniel’s life in mind, or He may have meant that he should continue with his affairs, including dying, until the end of the age would come. The first option seems preferable since the Lord appears to have been viewing Daniel’s life in sequence. First he would rest, in death, then he would rise again (cf. Daniel 12:2), and then he would receive his reward from God (cf. Daniel 12:3). His... read more
