It's an interesting thought...

Interesting thought, but a weak proof text, especially when Matt 27:52 says "
many bodies of the saints which slept arose". So
many of the OT saints arose after Christ's resurrection but not ALL. It could be that some of them are still in paradise, for some reason. I think Doc mentions this in his Revelation commentary, that Ab's bosom/paradise (in the heart of the earth) could still contain inhabitants and may be used again in future dispensations?
Luke, good effort with your answers to the OP here!
