When will Daniel and the Old Testament saints stand in their lot?
Daniel and the Old Testament saints will stand in their lot at the end of the days, which refers to the extra 75 days beyond the seven-year tribulation. This occurs after the church's rapture and the tribulation, when these believers are resurrected as a separate company.
Les teaches that Daniel and the Old Testament saints are part of a distinct company of believers, separated from all the rest. He notes that Paul uses the word 'company' concerning the church, but this group carries the same connotation of being a separated people. These are the Old Testament saints, and Daniel and his fellow believers of the Old Testament economy will stand in their lot at the end of the days. Les clarifies that the 'days' in view are the extra 75 days beyond the tribulation. The sequence he describes is that after the church has been raptured and is in the Lord's presence in a resurrected state, the seven years of tribulation unfold. During that tribulation, multitudes believe and are martyred, both Jews and many Gentiles. These tribulation believers are not members of the body of Christ; they did not miss the rapture, but they simply will not be included in the body. Les places them back with the Old Testament believer because the tribulation is the time of God dealing with Israel, the temple is operating, and it is primarily a Jewish period. Thus he puts the whole lot of tribulation believers and Old Testament believers into this particular time of resurrection of this group of just people.
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
