Who are these saints ? Pre flood ? So here we see there are saints in heaven already . Any more light on who they are ? Could be a cloud of witnesses mention as well ?
Here in Deuteronomy 33:1-3, the reference to "ten thousands of his saints" refers to God's Holy Angels. We get similar references to angels in Psalm 68:17 & Daniel 7:10.
Moses, prior to his death, related his experience at the giving of the Law at Sinai. Such was the greatness of that event, the Power & Beauty of the Law, that in its presentation, myriads of angelic beings accompanied the LORD. Now, it can't be assumed that Moses physically saw all this. But we're told in Exodus chapter 19 that prior to the giving of the Law, all the people had to stay well away from the mountain or they would die, that there would be thunderings & lightnings, fire & smoke & trumpet sounds. All these seem to indicate the moving of God from Heaven with His 'saints' for the purpose of the giving of the Law.
I have heard some say Angels rather than saints , but KJV has saints for a reason .
I can think of one and that would be Enoch that walked with God and was taken I don't find it hard to think there where many more . Angels are saintly as well to be in Gods presence .
But these saints where greatly involved with the word and appreciating it , makes me think that they where not angels but Saints .
