c. The Lot of the Overcoming Saints in the Kingdom

Daniel 12 shows us certain matters concerning the lot of the overcoming saints in the kingdom.

1) The Resurrected Saints Enjoying the Eternal Life

Verse 2a indicates that the resurrected saints will enjoy the eternal life in the kingdom.

2) Those Who Have Insight Shining
like the Shining of the Heavenly Expanse

Those who have insight will shine like the shining of the heavenly expanse, and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars in the kingdom age (vv. 3, 13b). In Matthew 13:43 the Lord Jesus spoke a similar word regarding the shining of the overcomers in the kingdom: "Then the righteous will shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father."

3) Many Who Will Be Purified, Cleansed,
and Refined Participating in the Kingdom

Verse 10a says, "Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined." These purified, cleansed, and refined ones will participate in the kingdom.

4) The Resurrected Daniel
Enjoying His Lot in the Kingdom

Verse 13 says, "But you, go your way until the end, and you will rest and rise again in your lot at the end of the days." This indicates that the resurrected Daniel will enjoy his lot in the kingdom.
