But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and then you will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

Study note

Setting — The angel addresses Daniel directly at the conclusion of a prophetic vision concerning future tribulation and deliverance, immediately following a blessing tied to waiting for the completion of 1,335 days.

The words — לֵ֣ךְ (lekh) commands "go" toward לַ/קֵּ֑ץ (la./Ketz), the "end," while וְ/תָנ֛וּחַ (ve./ta.Nu.ach) and וְ/תַעֲמֹ֥ד (ve./ta.'a.Mod) promise sequential rest and arising to an allotted portion (לְ/גֹרָלְ/ךָ֖).

The thread — The sequence of faithful endurance yielding a future blessed state appears in Revelation 14:13 and 2 Timothy 4:7, while the conditional framework of walking in obedience to receive a divine assignment mirrors Zechariah 3:7.

Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to maintain present obedience through a prolonged waiting period, explicitly linking that continued faithfulness to a guaranteed future resurrection and inheritance.
