Do the people who believed in Christ before His crucifixion go to heaven?

Question:

65.5—Do the people who believed in Christ, but died before His crucifixion go to heaven or live on the new earth?



Answer:

65.1—With the background of the answer to Question 65.4, I would suggest that the answer to Question 65.1 is found in Revelation 4:4,10,11 and 5:8-14.  In these verses we see that the 24 elders (all believers to this point in time) are very active worshipping the Lamb.  What an occupation this will be for us, praising and worshipping our beloved Savior.  Chapters 4 and 5 precede the description of the Tribulation in chapters 6-19, but I would suggest that our worship of the Lord Jesus in heaven will not stop when the Tribulation is occurring on Earth.
