What Happened To Every Soul Between Adam & Eve and Jesus?

they're in heaven or hell

You apparently believe in God, otherwise you would not be asking about Hell. For those who do not believe in God, also do not believe in Hell. Almost like not having hamburgers because there is no hamburger place.

Anyway, for those who DO believe in God, they must also accept that there will be a Day of Judgment, or Judgement Day as some call it. and ON this day, God will sort things out.

But until then, God is not going to send someone to Heaven NOR Hell, because they have NOT yet been judged.

"You, mister, are going to Hell, until I can decide what I am to do with you. I am not even sure what you did., but you can remain there until I do some thinking and then judge you, probably in a few hundred thousand years or so."

I would hate to think of all the GOOD people who had to go there, because they had not yet been judged.

What is the whole POINT of having Judgment Day, if it is NOT going to be used?

-------------

No, souls will be kept out of both Heaven and the non existant Hell, until AFTER Judgment Day.

I say non existent Hell, because I don't think Hell even is real. but that is another answer, I cannot put it here.

Jesus tells a parable about the Rich Man and Lazarus, and talks about Lazarus being in peace in Abraham's Bosom, and I believe that is another name given for Heaven.

Though justification, sanctification and glorification is the process that Christians go through, I believe that those Old Testament saints went through the same process when Jesus' work on the cross was complete.

Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were Christians. All the holy prophets of the Old Testament were Christians. Before Christ's day these righteous people looked forward to His coming, and kept the law of sacrifice which pointed toward the sacrifice of the only begotten Son of God, who would atone for the sins of all mankind, and also institute the resurrection, being the first to rise with a glorified immortal body of flesh and bone. All these went into the spirit world to await Christ's visit before His own resurrection. They were resurrected following the Lord's resurrection and some went into the Holy city and appeared unto many, as described in the New Testament.

Well to start when we die we just go into a very deep sleep. with Adam and Eve they were able to live for a good while after they had got kicked out of the garden of Eden. Although when they die they just went into a very did sleep. Now with Jesus after he had died on the torture stake they bared his body and after a day he got resurrected back to Heaven with his father. But to answer your question we are all ascendants of Adam and Eve they were the first humans on earth which would along the line make them a descendant of Jesus and would make us a descendant of Jesus back during that time people were marrying their sisters and cousins etc it was okay during that time but the further away we got from perfection led to more problems and hardships we now have to face today.

Everyone goes to Heaven because of Jesus (including people who lived before Jesus, because God knew Jesus would eventually die for them.)

"We put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe." -1 Timothy 4:10

"As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God." -Romans 14:11

"And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross." -Colossians 1:20

"For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." -1 Corinthians 15:22

"Let me ask you to hold in your mind traditional Christian visions of the future, in which many, perhaps the majority of humanity, are excluded from salvation forever. Alongside that hold the universalist vision, in which God achieves his loving purpose of redeeming the whole creation. Which vision has the strongest view of divine love? Which story has the most powerful narrative of God’s victory over evil? Which picture lifts the atoning efficacy of the cross of Christ to the greatest heights? Which perspective best emphasizes the triumph of grace over sin? Which view most inspires worship and love of God bringing him honor and glory? Which has the most satisfactory understanding of divine wrath? Which narrative inspires hope in the human spirit? To my mind the answer to all these questions is clear, and that is why I am a Christian universalist." -The Evangelical Universalist

They are in hold-mode, till the Scriptures be fulfilled and the completion of all things. As God made in pairs, we have world-seen, & world unseen (spirit realm). Unseen world split between the Light & darkness, separated All waiting for conclusion of prophecy. Or judgement day? Each soul/spirit of immense importance to God! Standing by or time for improving & perfecting spiritually. Other side some time to try to make amends or credits to earned to improve status. Cause when this J. Day comes, that's it!

They are dead, in the grave. As God told Adam, from dust you are, to dust you will return. They await the coming resurrection, along with the billions who have died over the past few centuries. Revelation 20.

They went to a place called Paradise (located in hell); found in Luke 16

Let's take the example of Jonah. He was in the whale, and of course, you can't survive in a whale, so you die.

After all, Jonah said " And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice" Jonah 2:2

(Out of the belly of hell...Jonah went to hell....specifically paradise, a place in hell where the righteous were comforted, and not tormented by fire)

Here's a greater detail of it from the book of Luke Chapter 16

And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

See...we have hell, paradise, Abraham's bosom, torment, fire, all that is in this area, that nobody (except bible students) know about.

This is where every soul went between adam & eve and Jesus. This place was called Paradise, or Abrahams' Bosom, (located in hell) which is why the Lord said to the theif on the cross "this day you shall be with me...........in.........(you fill in the blank)"

Some were raised with Jesus- the rest will await judgment day in the grave.

No, not all of them. Those that believed in the promises of God were justified by faith...just like Abraham.
