Well, scripture does speak of at least two different kinds of "Heaven"... One of the "Heaven" is called sky... so depends on what "Heaven" you are speaking...I assume the "Heaven" we all want... the answer is No, all souls before Christ was in the graves...After Christ ascended the Heaven, all souls followed Him. (Matthew 27:52-53) Nowadays, those who died in the flesh will return to God whom gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7)Does the bible speak of a way to heaven before Christ was born into our realm.
The fact is: the Bible says that there was no way into heaven before Jesus gave his life as a ransom sacrifice, Heb 9:8. The curtain in the Temple, separating the Holy and the MOST HOLY, was a symbol for Jesuus body, Heb 6:19,20, 10:19,20. Remember when Jesus died, we are told that the curtain split from top to bottom. Ths meant that the way to heaven was then opened, Matt 27:50,51. The Bible indicates that there would be a difference after Jesus death. Consider Matt 11:12, which says: From the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of the HEAVENS is the goal toward which men press. This indicates that before Jesus gave his life as a ransom sacrifice the way to heaven had not been opened, Luke 16:16.Does the bible speak of a way to heaven before Christ was born into our realm.
heaven as a place where God lives, and that a human might attain to after death, is strictly a construct of Christianity, and does not exist. God's will is "on earth as it is in heaven," wherein heaven is revealed as a state and not a place.Does the bible speak of a way to heaven before Christ was born into our realm.
Good question, because how would Moses, Lot, Abraham and the rest get into heaven. You know they never once confessed the name of Jesus.Does the bible speak of a way to heaven before Christ was born into our realm.

They didn't need to accept the offer of Jesus.
likely a better way to understand the Name as well imo.The way of life, through forgiving other and showing mercy, instead of offering sacrifices, has always been the way to God: Christ just clearly explained it so it wasn't hidden to one's mind.

if you read the bible you will find out that, it was their faith in the coming of Christ that saves them and now one's faith that Christ has come that saves them, and both a under God's Grace or by Grace if you will.
