Hello! No, I'm talking about those who came out of the tombs and went into the city after Christ had resurrected, as well as those Christ raised from the dead prior to that.
Some have been saying that the patriarchs and other OT saints have already been resurrected in their immortal and glorified bodies, which I disagree with. I have been saying that Christ alone is the only human being to be raised in His immortal and glorified body and that the church (those at His coming) is next.

Now I do agree that those who were raised prior by command but not those saints that died in faith after the crucifixion.
I consider them first fruits also in Abrahams bosom and I believe that that was a sign of proof of life of the preaching of Jesus prior.
Reason why?
Christ died and rose according to scripture. Those scriptures also follow the appointed times of God.
Jesus came to set the captives free, spiritually as well as physically and mentally.
He being the high priest had not yet presented the wheat sheath offering which he is.
This is why Mary could not touch him on the first day. Jesus had to present himself before he could present the first fruits. The wheat offering is presented on the first day of the week.
Notice 8 days later the believers could handle him but yet his physical Ascension wasn't till 40 days after the resurrection. Which gives us a broken omer count. I believe that the omer count will be fulfilled when the time of the gentiles has come to pass.
The wave offering is in-between the wheat offering and the counting of the omer which is waved in the air by the high priest before the congregation. This in my opinion is the rapture which paul was looking at.
Now untill this is all fulfilled no other harvesting is to take place.
Conclusion.
The dead that day seen were earth bound untill the Lord Jesus as the high priest and the wheat offering could present himself on the first day.
I know that's alot to consider brother as this is the first time that I disagreed with you.
