Satan was not cast out of heaven during the time of Job. Satan could go to heaven and walk around on earth. So 1 Peter 5:8-9 does not necessarily mean that he has been cast out of heaven whereas Eph. 6:12 puts the spiritual forces of wickedness in heaven still.
Job 1:6 KJV Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
David is mentioned in Hebrews 11:32 as someone who "obtained a good testimony through faith" (Heb. 11:39). As for his adultery and murder, 2 Samuel 12:13 says that God has put away David's sin. See also Romans 4:6-8:
Romans 4:6 KJV Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Nobody is a saint because of their good works. It is only through faith and the righteousness that God imputes to us without works.
See also Ezekiel 37:11. It says "these bones are the whole house of Israel". In other words, the resurrection in Ezekiel 37 includes the whole house of Israel, not just a handful of saints like Daniel (and Noah isn't part of the house of Israel). And I think the resurrection in Ezekiel 37 is future.
In the scenario that you described, Daniel has already been resurrected. Daniel 12:13 says that he would arise to his inheritance at the end of the days (ok, there might be different ways to interpret that).
If some exemplary OT saints were resurrected in the first resurrection, can you name some OT saints "who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands" (Rev. 20:4 NKJV)? Do you think John the Baptist qualifies?
