"And as many of the spirits as were in prison came forth, and stood on the right
hand of God; and the remainder were reserved in chains of darkness until the
judgment of the great day".
The Church's seminary manual states "At the time of Christ’s Resurrection, all
of the righteous who had died before Christ were also resurrected. The wicked
who had died still await their resurrection (see Moses 7:53–57; Mosiah 15:20–24;
Matthew 27:52–53)".
Would this mean Stephen (the first martyr) may have been the first to enter spirit
paradise after it was emptied at Christ's resurrection?
