The way we sometimes look at the Bible age sometimes, it seems as if only the nation of Israel, Egypt and some other few nations that sometimes battled with Israel existed then. But the truth is this, that the world has always existed, the nations and all it's inhabitants. now my question comes, what is the fate of the rest of the world outside Israel that died before Christ was born, that perhaps never had a chance to hear about the True God?

They will all be judged by their actions and intention behind their every action in their life time. As you know we all have the "voice of God" softly saying NO whenever we're about to commit that sin, they also had that voice, so that simply mean their souls will only be justified depending on how they lived their lives, treated others etc right or wrong...

I hope this helps

Jesus went to Hades and preached to the spirits there. Even the ones that did wrong. Of course they are the one there. They were give an opportunity.


What did you think he was doing in those 3 days of death

He spent 3 years on Earth, 3 days with the spirits. They know better, but some of them will still be deceived by the Devil.



I Peter 4 vs 6....For this cause was the gosi preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh but live unto God in the spirit.

I Peter 3 vs 19...By which he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.

The Bible did not record everything Jesus did or say.
Peter was a close discple.He got that info from him.

indeed, it helps to an extent, but do you think they'll have a part in the Kingdom of God when they never acknowledged the true God?

This is really helpful, but do you think that your interpretation of the above passages is what the passages really insinuates or it's just your understanding?

The answer to your question was revealed in the third chapter of the first book of your Bible.

19 You will work hard for your food, until your face is covered with sweat. You will work hard until the day you die, and then you will become dust again. I used dust to make you, and when you die, you will become dust again.”[/b]
[b]20 Adam[c] named his wife Eve.[d] He gave her this name because Eve would be the mother of everyone who ever lived.
21 The Lord God used animal skins and made some clothes for the man and his wife. Then he put the clothes on them.
22 The Lord God said, “Look, the man has become like us—he knows about good and evil. And now the man might take the fruit from the tree of life. If the man eats that fruit, he will live forever.”
23 So the Lord God forced the man out of the Garden of Eden to work the ground he was made from.
24 God forced the man to leave the garden. Then he put Cherub angels and a sword of fire at the entrance to the garden to protect it. The sword flashed around and around, guarding the way to the Tree of Life. - Genesis 3 vs 19 - 24

Adam failed to obtain Eternal Life before he was booted from the Garden of Eden, so all of his descendants are born without an afterlife(Eternal Life) from their mother's womb. So, when a man dies, the default configuration is for the man to perish — cease to exist — in the grave. Only those, particularly of the blood of Jacob, who obtain Eternal Life through following the Law of God can continue to exist beyond the grave — they sleep in their graves after death.

Those that live by conscience will be raised in the resurrection because they proved that in their hearts there is fear of God even though they don't know the true God:

For all those who sinned without law will also perish without law; but all those who sinned under law will be judged by law. For the hearers of law are not the ones righteous before God, but the doers of law will be declared righteous. For when people of the nations, who do not have law, do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves. They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them, and by their own thoughts they are being accused or even excused. This will take place in the day when God through Christ Jesus judges the secret things of mankind, according to the good news I declare" Romans 2:12-16

They will be remembered and brought back to life as unrighteous ones {Act 24:15} and they will have the opportunity to learn about Christ Jesus when Satan, demons and all their human agents promoting falsehood are no more around to deceive anyone {Revelations 20:2-3} during that time only true Christianity will exist on planet earth and if anyone wants to interrupt pure worship then God will allow such a person to live for just 100 years and he will die as a youth {Isaiah 65:20} because for 1000 years no one will grow old, get sick or die as Jesus will apply the benefit of his sacrifice globally. So when anyone die that time there will be no burial arrangements for them because only unrepentant sinners will be liable to death as for all repentant sinners God will be patient with them until after 1000 years when they would have grown up to perfection.

What about people who deliberately choose to be wicked?
Well they have shown that they have no fear of God in them so during resurrection they will not be remembered at all! Psalms 9:17

May you have PEACE!

You all have the voice of God but Jesus Christ clearly said He is the Word of God and only those who hear His Voice will be raised. So will God raise people separate from those Jesus Christ will?
