Daniel's Time
of the End
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."
But
go thou... But he will be resurrected (you will
rise at the end of the days), and he will receive his allotted
inheritance in the Millennium. Because of Daniel’s faith in God he
led a life of faithful service for Him, and for that faith and that
obedience he will receive a glorious reward. All who like Daniel
trust the Lord will share in the blessings of His millennial kingdom.
for
thou shalt... Soon Daniel’s own career would involve death and he
shall rest. Daniel would not live to see the fulfillment of his own
prophecies, but is here promised that he would be resurrected to
receive his reward (thou shall stand in thy lot). All who trust in
Daniel’s God will likewise be blessed.
stand
in thy... This
assures Daniel a part in these things after his resurrection. It
teaches saints shall judge the world and rule forever under the
Messiah (Dan. 2:44-45; 7:13-14, 7:18, 7:27; Luke 22:30; 1Co. 6:2-4;
2Ti. 2:12; Rev. 2:27; 5:10; 12:5; 20:4-6; 22:4-5).
Luke
21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man."
Every
individual person, who ever lived, stands before Jesus to be judged.
Those who did not receive Jesus as their Savior will be judged
guilty, and sent to everlasting torment.
Those
who are Christians will be judged to receive their rewards. They all
receive everlasting life, but some receive a reward for their work on
earth.
Salvation
is a free gift. It does not need to be earned. Rewards are extras.
