The bible does not specify who these saints were but we can probably exclude Moses and Elijah Matthew 17:3 and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Matthew 22:32, Joshua Zechariah 3:4what are the names of some of “God’s people who had died but were raised to life”
Please clarify your meaning here because the bible says that he was the firstborn from the dead Colossians 1:18, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep 1 Corinthians 15:20on equal terms with Jesus Christ
This might turn in to an interesting topic
Indeed! Elisha may possibly be, one of these risen saints also 2 Kings 13:21

Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Heb 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I personally do not believe that those who died before Christ, waiting on the promised redeemer are the same as those who died in Christ. The saints mentioned in Matthew 27:50-53 may be considered part of the first fruits but the bible does not indicate whether these saints went into heaven after that time. There is, however, a hint of the saints possibly being led into heaven in this verse.1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
