Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
But go thou thy way till the end be - Here is proper advice for every man. 1. Thou hast a way - a walk in life, which God has assigned thee; walk in that way, it is thy way. 2. There will be an end to thee of all earthly things. Death is at the door, and eternity is at hand; go on to the end - be faithful unto death. 3. There is a rest provided for the people of God. Thou shalt rest; thy body, in the grave; thy soul, in the Divine favor here, and finally in paradise. 4. As in the promised land there was a lot for each of God's people, so in heaven there is a lot for thee. Do not lose it, do not sell it, do not let thy enemy rob thee of it. Be determined to stand in thy own lot at the end of the days. See that thou keep the faith; die in the Lord Jesus, that thou mayest rise and reign with him to all eternity. Amen.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
After these disclosures regarding the time of the end, the angel of the Lord dismisses the highly-favoured prophet from his life's work with the comforting assurance that he shall stand in his own lot in the end of the days. לקּץ לך evidently does not mean "go to the end, i.e., go thy way" (Hitzig), nor "go hence in relation to the end," as Kranichfeld translates it, because לקּץ with the article points back to קץ עת, Dan 12:9. For though this reference were placed beyond a doubt, yet לקּץ could only declare the end of the going: go to the end, and the meaning could then with Ewald only be: "but go thou into the grave till the end." But it is more simple, with Theodoret and most interpreters, to understand לקּץ of the end of Daniel's life: go to the end of thy life (cf. for the constr. of הלך with ל, Sa1 23:18). With this ותנוּח simply connects itself: and thou shalt rest, namely, in the grave, and rise again. תּעמוד = תּקוּם, to rise up, sc. from the rest of the grave, thus to rise again. לגורלך, in thy lot. גּורל, lot, of the inheritance divided to the Israelites by lot, referred to the inheritance of the saints in light (Col 1:12), which shall be possessed by the righteous after the resurrection from the dead, in the heavenly Jerusalem. הימים לקץ, to = at, the end of the days, i.e., not = הימים אחרית, in the Messianic time, but in the last days, when, after the judgment of the world, the kingdom of glory shall appear. Well shall it be for us if in the end of our days we too are able to depart hence with such consolation of hope!
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
rest--in the grave (Job 3:17; Isa 57:2). He, like his people Israel, was to wait patiently and confidently for the blessing till God's time. He "received not the promise," but had to wait until the Christian elect saints should be brought in, at the first resurrection, that he and the older Old Testament saints "without us should not be made perfect" (Heb 11:40). stand--implying justification unto life, as opposed to condemnation (Psa 1:5). thy lot--image from the allotment of the earthly Canaan.

John Gill Bible Commentary
But go thou thy way till the end be,.... Prepare for death and expect to be under the power of it, to lie in the grave, till the end of the world, until the resurrection morn: for thou shalt rest; from all toil and labour, from all sin and sorrow; his body in the grave, his soul in the bosom of Christ: and stand in thy lot at the end of the days; signifying that he should rise again from the dead, have his part in the first resurrection, his share of the glory of the Millennium state, and his portion in the heavenly inheritance of the saints; the antitype of Canaan, which was divided by lot to the children of Israel: and, in the faith and hope of this, it became him to be contented and satisfied; believing the accomplishment of all that had been shown him, and looking for the blessedness which was promised him. Agreeable to which is the paraphrase of Jacchiades; "but thou, O Daniel, go to the end of thy life in this world; and, after thou art dead, rest in the rest of paradise; and at the end of days thou shall stand and live in the resurrection of the dead, and shall enjoy thy good lot in the world to come''.

Tyndale Open Study Notes
12:13 Daniel died before the final end, but he knew that he would rise again! Here, the end refers to that time when even the dead rise (12:1-3) and the everlasting Kingdom of God Most High is established.
Daniel 12:13
The End Times
12Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.13But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

The Law of Moral Gravitation
By A.W. Tozer3.4K43:32Moral GravitationDAN 12:13ACT 1:15In this sermon, the preacher begins by emphasizing the concept of stealing and how it affects our lives. He then shifts to expressing gratitude towards God for creating us and making us human beings. The preacher acknowledges that while he would prefer to focus on the goodness of God, he feels compelled to address the universal law that everything finds its own place, which is currently disrupted by sin. He poses the question of where our place will be and highlights the importance of being comfortable in a company that talks about Jesus, as that will be the focus of conversation in heaven.
(Daniel) Israel's Time of Trouble
By David Guzik1.7K42:43Jacob's TroubleDAN 12:9DAN 12:13MAT 23:39JHN 21:21ACT 1:6In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the fleeting nature of worldly achievements and glory. He contrasts the temporary shine of earthly accomplishments with the everlasting shine of bringing people to Christ. The preacher also discusses the importance of sealing the book of Daniel until the time of the end, implying that its words are meant to be preserved for future generations. He highlights the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and emphasizes that it is enough for salvation. The sermon concludes with a reminder to stay focused on God's course until the end and to be about the Father's business while waiting for the return of Jesus.
Work, Rest, and Recompense.
By Horatius Bonar0Hope in ResurrectionPerseveranceGEN 15:15PSA 1:5ISA 26:19DAN 12:13MAT 25:211CO 15:582TI 4:7HEB 4:9REV 3:11REV 21:4Horatius Bonar emphasizes the importance of perseverance in our daily work as Christians, drawing from Daniel 12:13, which encourages believers to continue their journey until the end, promising rest and future glory. He outlines three key aspects for God's saints: the present work that requires diligence, the coming rest that awaits after life's toil, and the future glory that will be revealed at resurrection. Bonar reassures that while life may be filled with challenges, there is a divine promise of rest and reward for those who remain faithful. He encourages believers to remain steadfast in their duties, knowing that their labor is not in vain and that they will ultimately receive their inheritance.
What Gives Assurance.
By Andrew Bonar0Faith in ChristAssurance of SalvationISA 6:7DAN 12:13MRK 2:5LUK 7:48LUK 23:43JHN 3:16ROM 15:132CO 5:1PHP 4:31JN 3:14Andrew Bonar emphasizes the importance of assurance in the believer's life, arguing that true assurance comes not from self-examination or the evidence of sanctification, but from a direct focus on Christ and His finished work. He illustrates how many believers mistakenly seek assurance through their own actions and feelings, rather than resting in the promises of God and the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice. Bonar encourages believers to look to Christ for their assurance, highlighting that the certainty of salvation is rooted in God's unchanging grace and the believer's faith in Christ. He warns against the dangers of living in uncertainty and urges listeners to embrace the peace that comes from knowing their acceptance in Christ. Ultimately, Bonar calls for a deeper understanding of the covenant of grace, which provides a solid foundation for assurance.
