Mathew 27:51-54
51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 54Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
If the 1st resurrection of the saints did happen after Christ's resurrection, its highly possible it was the OT Saints in v 52. The Centurion believed Christ was the Son of God after these miracles and all those watching. Some of the Saduccees (who never believed in the resurrection of the dead) may have have believed also.
Jesus said Abraham was in heaven Luke 16:19-31
Would these saints be the frist fruits? in James 1:18, James describes believers he's writing to as a 'type/kind' of first fruits of Christ's creatures
