What does 'thou shalt rest' mean in Daniel 12:13?
"Thou shalt rest" means Daniel would rest in the grave, his soul in the Lord's presence, until the end. He would then stand in his lot—resurrected in his appointed order, not simultaneously with all the just, but at his particular time.
Les explains that in Daniel 12:13, the Lord tells Daniel, "Go thy way, till the end be," which refers to the extra 75 days after the tribulation. "Thou shalt rest," Les teaches, means Daniel would rest in the grave, his soul in the presence of the Lord, however it is. Then he will "stand" in his lot. Les points out that "lot" is almost identical with "order" in the New Testament, so all the just are resurrected in their particular lot or order, not all simultaneously, but at separate times.
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
