You are correct that Jesus had not yet entered into time, so those tethered to this earth by the restraint of Adam's dominion were in a place the Bible calls hades.
Following Christ's crucifiction, the righteous dead were seen in the streets of Jerusalem, and they rose with Christ and are now in heaven.

Followers of prophets like Moses, Abraham, and Noah will heaven because at their times, those prophets were the righteous ones and they taught the truth.

The people you mentioned were not prophets.. And the Holy Trinity always existed right after the universe was created.. God was not alone... He spoke to Jesus when creating MAN.. Study Genesis
For Christians there is no Hell. Jesus died for Man to be able to go to God after death..
Before that Sins were punished with death not hell. Death meaning Separation from God.. people at that time did not go to God

They weren't worshipping the prophets, they were worshipping God. So, yes, they did go to heaven, but there were so many rituals to go through. That was why Jesus came into the world. He bore the pain of the crucifixion so that we would not have to suffer.

They will have their chance in the resurrection that christ provided with his death. By his death, all men will be accorded a chance for eternal life.
For one thing, the scriptures speak of 4 hells.
#1. Hades
#2. Gehenna
#3. Sheol
#4. The Lake of Fire
#1 HADES
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades
The unseen world, translated hell in A.V., Matt. 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27,31; Rev. 1:18; 6:8; 20:13,14. See Hell. Eventually, came to designate the abode of the dead.
#2 GEHENNA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gehenna
Gehenna' is a word tracing to Greek, ultimately from Hebrew: גי(א)-הינום Gêhinnôm (also Gei ben-Hinnom (Hebrew: גיא בן הינום) meaning the Valley of Hinnom. The valley, which forms the southern border of ancient Jerusalem, is first mentioned in Joshua 15:8. Originally it referred to a garbage dump in a deep narrow valley right outside the walls of Jerusalem (in modern-day Israel) where fires were kept burning to consume the refuse and keep down the stench. It is also the location where bodies of executed criminals, or individuals denied a proper burial, would be dumped. Today, "Gehenna" is often used as a synonym for Hell.
#3. SHEOL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheol
Sheol (שאול) is the Hebrew language word denoting the "abode of the dead"; the "underworld", "the common grave of mankind" or "pit". It is also transliterated Sheh-ole, in Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries and Strong's Concordances. In the Hebrew Bible it is portrayed as a comfortless place beneath the earth, beyond gates, where both the bad and the good, slave and king, pious and wicked must go after death to sleep in silence and oblivion in the dust. In some sources, for example in Deuteronomy 32:22, Sheol seems to be synonymous with the "depths of the earth". Sheol is sometimes compared to the gloomy, twilight afterlife of Hades or Tartarus from Greek mythology. Sheol is the common destination of both the righteous and the unrighteous dead; the righteous Job sees it as his destination (Job 3). In the Book of Job, while Satan is portrayed as tormenting and testing the living, he does not appear to have any particular presidency over Sheol, or to dwell in Sheol.
#4 The Lake of Fire (which means the 2nd death, the lake of fire)
See (The Book of Revelation 20:14) and also Acts Ch. 5, the story of Ananias & Sapphira sinning against the Holy Spirit.
Here we see in The Book of Revelation Ch. 20:14 where "Death & Hades" or both DEATH AND HELL are thrown into the Lake of Fire, THE 2ND DEATH, to be destroyed eternally it says HERE! So, we see that the Lake of Fire is Symbolic for ETERNAL DESTRUCTION. Much the same way Gehenna was for the destruction it caused! Nothing that goes in comes out. Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 are both eternally destroyed for sinning against the "holy ghost/spirit" for lying to it. So, much like before they were born, they are now, neither knowing anything nor suffering.

What gives you the idea that these people of Old Testament could not go to Heaven? For your information God is not bound by rules you make up in your mind. God is God and He is perfect in every way. Why is it that people think God is bound by rules of this earth or any rules at all. The only thing God cannot do is sin.

There are no such things as heaven or hell. Leaders only told us these things to keep control over the masses. They did so for the same reason that they refused to allow people to learn to read and limited education to only the elite. Knowledge is power and to keep that power you must limit knowledge.
