Daniel 12:13 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

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 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.
