Gill's Exposition on Daniel 12:13
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;

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Daniel 12:13
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 ,21.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 12:13
Daniel 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.Ver. 13. But go thou thy way.] Here Daniel to his great comfort hath a fair and favourable dismission out of this life before those great clashings and confusions should come which had been foreshown to him. So Augustine and Pareus died a little before Hippo and Heidelberg were taken. Till the end be.] Whenever it shall be, sooner or later, thou shalt be sure to awake out of the dust of death unto everlasting life. Yea, thou shalt "shine as the stars for ever and ever." All that thou hast to do now is, to prepare for such an end, and to wait till thy change shall come, comforting thyself against death with the hope of a blessed resurrection. For thou shalt rest.] Thy soul shall rest in Abraham’ s bosom, thy body in the grave as in a bed of down, until the resurrection of the just. Mors aerumnarum requies rest from death of afliction, was Chaucer’ s motto. And stand in the lot,] i.e., In thine own order, and in that degree of heavenly glory which shall be given thee as thy lot - in allusion to the promised land, divided among the Israelites by lot - and as the reward of a faithful prophet, instrumental to the good of many, who shall bless God for thee throughout all eternity. “ Ipse quidem studui bene de pietate mereri: Sed quicquid potui, gratia, Christe, tun est. Quid sum? Nil: Quis sum?
Nullus: Sed gratia Christi Quod sum, quod vivo, quodque laboro, facit. ”
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 12:13
(13) In thy lot.—The reference is to the partition of Palestine by lot in the times of Joshua. Even so shall one greater than Joshua divide the heavenly Canaan among His saints who follow Daniel in faith, firmness, and consistency. (See Colossians 1:12.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 12:13
Verse 13. 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 favour 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. MASORETIC NOTES Number of verses in this book, 357 Middle verse, Daniel 5:30 Masoretic sections, 7 Finished correcting for the press, March 1st, 1831. - A. C.
Cambridge Bible on Daniel 12:13
13. After indicating (Daniel 12:11-12) the duration of the persecution, the angel turns to Daniel; and the book closes with a word of consolation addressed to him personally. He is to await the ‘end’ in the grave, from which, in the resurrection spoken of in Daniel 12:2, he will arise to take his appointed place, beside the other saints. But thou, go thou to the end] i.e. depart to await the end. (As in Daniel 12:9, there is nothing in the Heb. corresponding to ‘thy way.’) and thou shalt rest (in the grave, Isaiah 57:2), and stand up to thy lot] to thy appointed portion or place: ‘lot’ being used in a figurative sense, as in Judges 1:3, Psalms 125:3, and in the N.T. Acts 26:18, Colossians 1:12 (in both which passages ‘inheritance’ is properly ‘lot’ [êëῆ ?ñïò]’). at the end of the days] the extreme end of the present period,—i.e., reckoned from Daniel’s standpoint, the period ending with the fall of Antiochus,—when the resurrection of Dan 12:2 will take place, and the age of never-ending blessedness (Daniel 12:3) will begin.
Barnes' Notes on Daniel 12:13
But go thou thy way until the end be - See Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9. The meaning is, that nothing more would be communicated, and that he must wait for the disclosures of future times.
Whedon's Commentary on Daniel 12:13
13. Notwithstanding all the mysteries which he cannot even yet grasp the prophet can now be at peace, knowing that, however dark the present may be, the future shall be bright, and he shall stand with the other saints at the end.
