Daniel 12:13

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 12:5-13

A Final Word of Cheer v. 5. Then I, Daniel, looked, after the angel had finished his message, and, behold, there stood other two, two more angels besides the one who had spoken to him, the one on this side of the bank of the river and the other on that side of the bank of the river, on either side of the Tigris. v. 6. And one, only one of these angels being introduced as speaking, said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, occupying a position above the... read more

c. Conclusion of the vision. The Messianic deliverance and glorifying of God’s people, together with a reference to the definite determination by God of the time at which the Messiah’s coming to deliver should transpire.Chap. 121And at [in] that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which [who] standeth for [over against] the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as [which] never was1 since there was a nation even to [till] that same time: and at [in] that... read more

Daniel A NEW YEARS MESSAGE Dan_12:13 . Daniel had been receiving partial insight into the future by the visions recorded in previous chapters. He sought for clearer knowledge, and was told that the book of the future was sealed and closed, so that no further enlightenment was possible for him. But duty was clear, whatever might be dark; and there were some things in the future certain, whatever might be problematic. So he is bidden back to the common paths of life, and is enjoined to pursue... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

Resurrection and Judgment Daniel 12:1-13 Michael was the guardian spirit of the Jewish people. When the time of trouble has reached its climax, whether in national or individual life, help is near. The hope of resurrection, of the life beyond the darkness of their times, animated the hearts of the Chosen People. In the same way the Apostle Paul refers to it, 1 Corinthians 15:58 . The national resurrection of Israel is without doubt included but the resurrection at the last, when that of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

The last things are then foretold. Michael, the great prince, would stand up for the children of God's people, and there would ensue a time of trouble such as never had been. Beyond that there would be a resurrection, and the dawning of a new age. This prophecy was literally fulfilled under the Roman power. Daniel was charged to shut the book and sea1 it to-the time of the end. He heard the man clothed in linen swear in mystic language by Him that liveth that these things would be for "a... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

The Time of the End Daniel 12:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is most interesting to discover the far-flung visions of prophecy, as told by the Spirit through the Prophets. These men of old, searched diligently as to the time, or manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was upon them did signify, when He testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and of the glory that should follow. We are sure that, from Enoch down, the Prophets had more comprehension of the world conditions which would... read more

‘AT LAST IT RINGETH TO EVENSONG’‘Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.’ Daniel 12:13 God said one word to Daniel—the last word in this Book: ‘Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.’ Sweet word for the servant of God closing a life of devotedness to Him! Such shall be the word to all who cast in their lot with God. They shall have the sweet assurance, ere they pass through... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:13

‘But go your way until the end be. For you will rest and will stand in your lot at the end of the days.’ In a closing benediction the angel tells him that his task is finished. He may now go his way satisfied that he has fulfilled God’s will. ‘The end’ is probably the end of his life, for it is the point at which he will rest. Then he will sleep, taking his rest until at the end of the days he is resurrected to enjoy his destiny, and shine as the stars for ever and ever. Or ‘the end’ may... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12. follows immediately upon the preceding paragraph, and there should be no break between the two chapters. 1– 3 forms the ending of the revelation which the angel makes to Daniel, and describes the deliverance of Israel and the resurrection of the just. Daniel 12:1 . at that time: at the overthrow of Antiochus.— the great prince: the guardian angel of Israel ( cf. Daniel 10:13 ; Daniel 10:21).— in the book: i.e. the book of life ( cf.

I have revealed to thee of these things what I had in commission, that thou and thy people should be prepared for the sufferings which will come upon them, and yet not without hope of a glorious deliverance. In which hope thou shalt die, and rest from fear or feeling of trouble, till the resurrection of the just to the joys of another world: which some make to be here after all enemies are destroyed, at least to begin here, and to be consummated in heaven eternally, comparing this with... read more
