What if Christ had not come? What would have become of Joseph and Mary (in death) What did happen to Abraham Issac and Jacob? To all the prophets? Although they believed, they did not have the chance to go to Heaven did they?

Yes they went to Heaven, Hebrews 11, says that by Faith they were saved. Which is the same how we are saved except our Faith must be in Jesus who gets us to the Father.

"Christ" is not a name, it is a designation. "Christ" means 'The annointed one'.
Those who follow the Jewish faith don't recognise Jesus as the Christ (what they would call the Messiah) and are still looking for His first comming. Ask them about Abraham, Issac, Jacob, the prophets etc. Not in hell!
The plan of salvation was devised "before the foundation of the world" and so the price of sin is paid weather 2000 years ago or whenever.
I KNOW that I have an eternal home in heaven. You can have one too. Just put your faith in the Hashem, for Abraham this was counted as righteousness. As Christians, we put our faith in Jesus as the Messiah. You can too.

says you! everybody doesn't hold with the stupid rapture idea, Some of us actually believe that when you die you go to heaven, no waiting for an imaginary event to happen. Do you know that "the rapture" was only invented in the 19th century There is nothing biblical about it at all.

No Mary ... No Christ.
No Christ ... No redemption.
No redemption ... eternal slavery to Satan, sin, and death.
No heaven ... period!
