Eph 4;8Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
The patriarchs are already in heaven.They were raised from the dead with Jesus.

Jesus the first fruits along with the patriarchs
Then the main harvest.
