Yeah! What DID the people do before the Jesus showed up? How did they get to the Heaven? I do not know!
These other answers suck.

Jesus's death was a point of demarcation between the point before when the Jews were still Gods chosen people and under Mosaic Law and the point beginning of the Christian era.
All those that have died, except those that have been subject to divine judgment, will be resurrected after Armageddon to life everlasting or judgment based upon their individual merits.
This is a very simplified answer. There is a lot more to it that can only be understood through diligent study of the Bible. As it is the answer to your second question "r they to the hell" I think you mean "are they or have they gone to hell" The answer to that is yes, but not with the contemporary understanding of "hell"
Hell is not a place where people go to suffer continual torment. Hell is the common grave of mankind. There are many scriptures that describe what the condition of the dead are once they have died. "They are conscious of nothing at all"
The article below will help you understand the wonderful gift God has provided to all mankind in the resurrection.

After Jesus died, he descended into Hell (to bring those good people to heaven), and on the third day he rose again. The "differentiating factor" before Jesus was he started a "new covenant between us and God."

Jesus when he died on the cross, He said, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,” (Luke 23:46). The spirit went up, it went into heaven. His body went to the grave or the tomb of Joseph. His soul went right down through hell but was not left there (Acts 2:27-31) but went to a place were the Old Testament’s Saints were waiting for the perfect sacrifice. There was a place called hell where all the lost people went and there was a place for the ones that did what God told them to do called parades or Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16:19-25).
Eph 2:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9: (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10: He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Jesus takes the ones that were in Abraham’s bosom to heaven because now their salvation was complete (Matt 27:52-53). God remitted sins all through the Old Testament, but they were not redeemed (Heb 10:4; Ex 34:6-7). A saved person on this side of the cross dies; he is absent from the body and present wit the Lord (II Cor 5:8). People who believe that there is no hell but believe they just go to grave, don’t believe what the apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 1:23 to depart, and to be with Christ is far better. The unsaved person this side of the cross dies, where does he go? He can’t go to heaven because he has not believed that Christ died for his sins (I Cor 15:1-4). He can’t go to Abraham’s bosom because it is empty. He can’t go to purgatory because there isn’t any purgatory. He goes straight too hell (Luke 16:23; Mark 9:44, 46, 48; Matt 25:41). He stays in hell until the great white throne judgment when death and hell is delivered up and judged and then cast into the lake of fire (Rev 20:13; 20:15).
How could the unsaved be in the grave if they were delivered up out of Hell? When hell is delivered up and they are judged they are cast into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is a place where the fire is not quenched and they are tormented day and night forever and ever (Rev 20:10).
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
The saved person that goes to be with the Lord when he dies must also be judged but not at the same place or time as the unsaved. He will be judged at the Judgment seat of Christ not for his sins but for the things done in the body where they are good or bad (I Cor 3:12-15; II Cor 5:10). After the judgment seat of Christ, rewards will be given for the good things he has done and he will receive a body fashioned like unto his glorious body (Phil 3:21).

No - Hell is imaginary. once you're lifeless, you in straight forward words stop to exist. end of tale. ok, possibly you've faith human beings have something said as a soul; it really is something to contemplate: What precisely do you imagine a soul is? What homes does it have? What part of 'you' is residing contained in the soul? If this is postulated that knowledge, or knowledge, or experience of self is residing contained in the soul, this is difficult to work out how this can be reconciled with the finished oblivion which accompanies wide-spread anaesthesia. How might want to a consumer-pleasant chemical, injected into the bloodstream, anaesthetise a soul so as that it effectively ceases to exist in this time? If knowledge, contained in the variety of a soul, were some sort of supernatural school, it may look marvelous that that is thoroughly disabled by a chemical. How about a number of the different issues which we regard as needed elements of what makes someone what they're? How about love, compassion, reason, empathy, memory, wakeful concept, personality, 'spirituality' etc? properly, there is extremely no achievable doubt that maximum of those issues are homes of the particular mind. we may be able to modify all of those homes very purely with alcohol or different drugs, and be conscious how they replace in those who've suffered major mind damage - previously placid human beings change into uncontrollably violent, smart human beings change into imbeciles, etc. Stimulate the mind artificially, and the problem comments corresponding psychological interest, e.g. 'non secular memories'. we may be able to work out from mind analyze that maximum of those issues - concept, emotion, sensation, personality characteristics etc - are correlated with interest contained in the mind, and some issues would properly be pronounced with certain elements of the mind. So, if maximum of those colleges and features of what we regard because the 'individual' live contained in the actual mind, as looks undeniably the case, and that all of them stop even as the man dies, then what's left to be attributed to a 'soul'? so a options as i am going to verify: no longer something. If there is not any section human beings that could want to proceed after lack of existence, then there is not any 'afterlife'... and if there is not any afterlife, then maximum of religion is null and void.

Before Jesus, the levitical law was in place. People recieved forgiveness through sacrifices and by following the law. That was removed with the final sacrifices, but those that served God before Jesus are still saved.

HELL COMES FROM THE HEBREW WORD SHOEL WHICH MEANS ((( THE GRAVE )))
THERE IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION FOR THOSE WHO KEEP GODS LAWS IN THIS LIFE AND A SECOND RESURRECTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE AFTER WE RIEGN ON THIS EARTH WITH CHRIST 1000 YEARS. DURING THE SECOND RESURRECTION ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT ACCEPT CHRIST IN THIS LIFE WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO THEN. AND THERE WILL BE SOME EVEN THEN THAT WILL NOT ACCEPT CHRIST AND FOR THEM IS WHAT IS CALLED THE SECOND DEATH IN GEHENNA FIRE WHICH WILL BURN YOU TO ASH ALMOST INSTANTLY AND YOU WILL BE NONEXISTENT.
Re 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Re 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

They will have an eternal life in some other world. Believing in Jesus gets you to heaven, but you they become his meals.

God is God. Before the coming of Christ, and even now in the year of the Lord, God is God. God chose a specific nation - CHILDREN OF ISRAEL (Jacob). They were God's people (eventually if they obeyed God, they will be saved). But, if you can, read about the decation of the temple build by Salomon, you will note that God did not restrict the temple only to JEWS but was OPEN TO NON-JEWS ALSO.
My grand father also once told me that when Jesus went in the abyss, he saved all souls who NEVER HEARD OF HIM. I don't know how far it's true, but I know that God is FAIR.

I think they had to pledge their loyalty to Zorgog the Nimwad.
You see, Jesus was Zorgog's replacement who was inserted into the timeline after Zorgog's untimely demise at the hands of Rangwoo the Evil.
