    “Thou Shalt Stand in Thy Lot”

    What was it that the angel stated to Daniel should occur at the time of the end? From the time he heard the saint say, “Unto two thousand and three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed,” 20Daniel 8:14. his mind was filled with anxiety as to what should be “the end of these things,” and “how long” it should be. 21Daniel 12:6-8. Finally he is given to understand that a knowledge of the time is not for his day. It is said to him, “Go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.” 22Daniel 12:13.GSAM 83.1

    Some have supposed this language referred to the final end of the world, and that at that time Daniel, with the rest of the Lord’s people, would receive his reward, and stand in his lot of inheritance. The Hebrew word for lot of inheritance, region of country, etc., is, we are told, gheh-vel. That is not the word that is translated lot in this scripture; the word here is goh rahl. Hebrew scholars tell us that this word, goh rahl, occurs seventy-six times in the Old Testament, and that it is the same word that is used in speaking of the typical cleansing of the sanctuary, where lots were cast to determine which of the two goats was to be slain. As the high priest took the blood of the Lord’s goat and went into the sanctuary to perform the work of cleansing, all Israel stood without, afflicting their souls and confessing their sins, that they might stand clear, and receive the blessing of the high priest as he should come out of the sanctuary. Thus, on that day, Israel stood in their lot.GSAM 83.2

    When the final cleansing of the sanctuary should come, at the close of the twenty-three hundred days, Daniel’s case, with the cases of all the righteous dead, was to come in review before God. So Daniel stands in his lot.GSAM 84.1
