Daniel 12:13

"Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred thirty-five days."

Key Reflection

Daniel 12:13 speaks of blessedness for those who patiently wait until the completion of a significant period, specifically one thousand three hundred thirty-five days. This waiting time implies a long and uncertain duration, suggesting that those who endure faithfully will have their reward at the end of this period, which may relate to the resurrection or the final judgment in the eschatological context of Daniel's prophecy.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But go thou thy way until the end be -SeeDaniel 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. When that should occur which is here called “the end,” he would understand this more fully and perfectly. The language implies, also, that he would be present at the development which is here called “the end;” and that then he would comprehend clearly what was meant by these revelations. This is such language as would be used on the supposition that the reference was to far-distant times, and to the scenes of the resurrection and the final judgment, when Daniel would be present.
