When Are the Old Testament Saints Resurrected? Part 1

In this End Times Q&A teaching, we explore a crucial but often overlooked question: When are the Old Testament saints resurrected? Are they raised at the Rapture, the Second Coming, or later during the Millennium?

We walk through the full biblical timeline, showing how Christ, after His resurrection, first relocated Paradise from the heart of the earth to Heaven (Ephesians 4.8–10; John 20.17). This private, unseen ascension spiritually took the souls of the faithful (Abraham’s Bosom) into glory. Later, in His second public ascension (Acts 1.9–11), Christ visibly departed from the Mount of Olives.

Key points in this teaching:
– The spiritual resurrection (relocation) of Old Testament saints at Christ’s first ascension
– The distinction between the Church’s Rapture (Blessed Hope) and the OT saints’ resurrection
– Understanding Christ’s two ascensions — private (relocation of Paradise) and public (departure in view of the disciples)

This session is grounded in a literal, dispensational interpretation of the Scriptures, carefully connecting Luke 23.43, Matthew 12.40, Ephesians 4.8–10, John 20.17, 2 Corinthians 12.2–4, and more.
