So they are virgins. Guileless and without fault. Firstfruits associated with Jesus.
Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Matthew 27 KJ 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
I'm pretty sure this is when they were raised from the dead along with the non virgin Old Testament saints. That is why John saw them in the very beginning of the Revelation timeline, already in Heaven before the Throne.
This is another big mistake all the churches are making. Matt 27: 52,53 occurs immediately after Jesus "gave up the ghost." So this means He was resurrected immediately (not suffering corruption) not 3 days later on Sunday. The prophecy He gave was the Son of man would be in the belly of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights, and He was, raised up and sent to preach to the prisoners in the heart of the Earth.
