This is the end of the great vision that began by the Tigris in chapter 10, and the end of the Hebrew and Aramaic book of Daniel itself. After this chapter, in the Bibles of the Jewish people and in the Hebrew text behind most of our English ones, Daniel simply stops.
And look at how it stops. Not with a whimper. Not trailing off. It stops with the single loudest note the Old Testament ever sounds about what lies on the far side of the grave.
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake.”
