Daniel 12:1-3
The End Times

Overview & Insights
“Go your way till the end… you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.” (Daniel 12:13)
See the unit on 10:1–11:1 for a discussion of the larger context, structure, and comparisons of chapters 10–12, including its fourfold division. Against this backdrop, 11:40–12:13 completes the last section of Daniel’s final appearance vision (chaps. 10–12), the book’s two Hebrew sections (chaps. 1 and 8–12), the book’s four apocalyptic visions (chaps. 7–12), and, of course, the book of Daniel as a whole. Daniel 11:40–12:13 divides easily into two sections: 11:40–12:4 completes the vision proper (contained in 11:2–12:4) and 12:5–13 concludes this larger vision in general, paralleling its introduction (10:1–11:1).
