What New Testament word is almost identical to 'lot' in Daniel 12:13?

The New Testament word almost identical to 'lot' in Daniel 12:13 is 'order.' The context explains that the just will be resurrected in their particular lot, or order, not all simultaneously, but at separate times. This shows resurrection is not a single event for everyone.

Les explains that Daniel 12:13 speaks of Daniel resting and then standing in his lot. After the tribulation and the extra 75 days, the just will be resurrected in their particular lot, or order. He points out that the word 'lot' is almost identical with the New Testament word 'order,' meaning resurrection is not all simultaneous but occurs at separate times.
