Christians don't like to answer such questions. So what they do is to put Christ in the Old Testament. For example, they would argue that Melchizedek, the King of Salem and High Priest of God and who blessed Abraham, was Christ, without any proof whatsoever. Or, they would argue that Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus when clearly he was talking about his own times and in fact ended up having a child out of a virgin (the prophetess) to prove that the prophecy would come true. It didn't.

The Hebrew Prophet was not merely, as the word commonly implies, a man enlightened by God to foretell events; he was the interpreter and supernaturally enlightened herald sent by Yahweh to communicate His will and designs to Israel. His mission consisted in preaching as well as in foretelling. He had to maintain and develop the knowledge of the Old Law among the Chosen People, lead them back when they strayed, and gradually prepare the way for the new kingdom of God, which the messias was to establish on earth. Prophecy, in general, signifies the supernatural message of the Prophet, and more especially, from custom, the predictive element of the prophetic message.
The Day of Yahweh - The constant subjects of the great prophetic predictions of Israel, the punishment of the guilty nations, and the realization for all of the ancient promises. Directly or indirectly all the prophecies are concerned with the obstacles to be removed before the coming of the new kingdom or with the preparation of the New and final Covenant. From the days of Amos, and clearly it was not even then a new expectation, Israel was awaiting a great day of Yahweh, a day, which it deemed one of extraordinary triumph for it and its God. The Prophets do not deny, but rather declare with absolute certainty that the day must come. They dispel the illusions concerning its nature.
For Israel, faithless and burdened with crimes, the day of Yahweh will be "darkness and not light" (Amos 5:18 ).
The time is approaching when the house of Jacob will be sifted among the nations as wheat is shaken in the sieve and not a good seed drops to the ground Alas! the good seed is rare here. The bulk will perish. A remnant alone will be saved, a holy germ from which the Messianic kingdom will arise. The pagan nations will serve as sievers for Israel. But as they have wandered still further from the right path, the day of Yahweh will come for them in turn; finally the remnant of Israel and the converts of the nations will unite to form a single people under the great king, the Son of David. The remnant of Ephraem or of Juda remaining in Palestine at the time of the Exile, the remnant returning from the Captivity to form the post-Exilic community, the Messianic kingdom in its militant state and its final consummation- all these stages of the history of salvation are mingled here and there in one prophetic view. The future life looms up but little, the oracles being addressed principally to the body of the nation, for which there is no future life. However, Ezechiel alludes to the resurrection of the dead; the apocalypse of Isaias mentions it explicitly; Daniel speaks of a resurrection unto life everlasting and a resurrection unto eternal reproach. The broad daylight of the Christian Revelation is coming.

There is a lot of religions that call there's prophets they are false prophets. Though they do some amazing things there's is a spiritual realm of deception. Christ is the Truth and all who follow him will find life and find it abundantly. Though for a time we may suffer in this world of darkness/ were the evil has been cast and let to terrorize humanity for a short time. Christians shall have life eternal in Paradise with God. All the unclean and evil shall be locked up and they will harm no one any more.

Detroit is a great city. I used to live off Tireman and Southfield a block from Herman's Gardens and walk through the Gardens to work every morning. Detroit is tough, so are other places.
The thing that makes a place great is the people and Detroit is filled with Great People.
Hell, Hell is filled with Judgmental Christians, Islamic Terrorists and Atheists.
I would rather be in Detroit than Hell any day.
God has the salvation of everyone planned out. If you need to know if other people are saved, God will explain it to you, otherwise you should just enjoy life, take care of your own salvation and help others as much as you can.

The Lord (not lord) from Genesis-Malachi was theLord Jesus Christ. That is despite the addition to God's word (roughly 100 years ago) commonly referred to as the Red Letter Edition presentlyin USA.

what the jews and prophets of the old testiment understood was that God would save them, and their concept of God was that he was 3 persons in one God.
they did not have a concept of Christ per se, it was Messiah, but they did not understand how he could suffer and be a victorious king, powerful and mighty, they assumed wrongly that 2 messiahs were coming
The worshipped the LORD according to the light they had, granted it was no clear what was happening, but no, the holy prophets did not go to hell, for they looked anxiously to his appearing
the new testiment says that they longed to know what we know, but it was hidden from them.
hope this answers your question
