Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

End of an era (12:1-13)Having concluded his lengthy revelation concerning the arrogance, ambition and brutality of Antiochus Epiphanes, the interpreting angel gave encouragement to Daniel. He pointed out that the great angel Michael would fight on behalf of the Jews during the period of Antiochus’s persecution.

Though good and bad alike would be killed in the widespread massacre, the righteous had no need to fear.... 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.

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
