John Trapp on Daniel 12:13

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 foreſhewn to him. So Auſtin and Paraeus dyed a little before Hippo and Hidelberg 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, as ver. 2. Yea thou ſhalt ſhine as the Stars for ever and ever, ver. 3. All that thou haſt to do now, is, to prepare for ſuch an end, and to wait till thy change ſhall come, comforting thy ſelf 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 Reſurection of the Juſt. Mors aerumnarum requies, was Chaucers Motto.

And ſtand in the lot] i. e. In thine own order, 1 Cor. 15.23. and in that degree of heavenly glory which ſhall be given thee as thy lot (in alluſion to the promiſed land, divided amongſt the Iſraelites by lot) and as the reward of a faithful Prophet, inſtrumental to the good of many, who ſhall bleſſe God for thee thoroughout all eternity.
