Daniel 12 12 Bonus Section
The concept of "resting" before standing at one's "lot" or "inheritance" points to an intermediate state between death and the final resurrection, where believers find peace from their earthly struggles. The final standing and receiving of one's lot are strongly indicative of the general resurrection and final judgment, where all receive what is due to them based on God's perfect justice. This verse, in its eschatological scope, connects the temporal difficulties faced by God's faithful with an eternal recompense.
Daniel 12 12 Commentary
This verse is a comforting conclusion to Daniel's prophecies, assuring him that faithfulness through difficult times will be met with eternal peace and a destined reward. It speaks of resting from present afflictions and then, at the final consummation, standing in one's appointed place, which signifies vindication and participation in God's eternal kingdom. The "lot" represents God's allocation, a justified inheritance for those who have persevered in faith. This speaks of the ultimate resurrection and the justified standing of the righteous before God. It is a promise of peace in death and a glorious reception of reward at the second coming of Christ and the final resurrection.
