When do the Old Testament saints come into view according to Daniel 12:13?
The Old Testament saints come into view at the end of the days. The instruction is to go one’s way until the end, to rest, and then to stand in one’s company at the end of the days; that is the time when the Old Testament saint appears.
Les teaches that the passage says, “Go thy way till the end be, for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy company at the end of the days.” He explains that this is when the Old Testament saint will come into view. The promised rest and standing in company are therefore connected with the end of the days, not with an earlier time.
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
