What will happen to Daniel at the end according to Daniel 12:13?

Daniel will rest in the grave, his soul in the Lord's presence, and then stand in his lot at the end. The word 'lot' corresponds to order, so he will be resurrected in his particular lot or order, not simultaneously with all the just, but at separate times.

Les teaches that Daniel 12:13 comes after the tribulation timeline and the extra 75 days described in verses 11–12. The Lord tells Daniel, 'Go thy way till the end be, for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot.' Les explains that Daniel's rest is in the grave, with his soul in the presence of the Lord. Then he will stand, meaning he will be resurrected in his lot. Les points out that 'lot' is almost identical with the New Testament word 'order,' so all the just are resurrected in their particular lot or order—not all simultaneously, but at separate times.
