Why would a loving God send people into eternal punishment who never heard the gospel message?
Hebrews 2:12-16 gives us the answer
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
The truth is that they have their own standard of religiious practices that will be the judge so they will be without excuse.
The link below also talks about people who heard the gospel and reject it but that is different from people who have never heard it in their entire lives. And I believe the above text in Hebrews answers that question.
Also in Genesis 18 when Abraham pleaded for the unrighteous cites of Sodom and Gomorrah he asked the question in verse 25" Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge [g] of all the earth do right?"
God is the rigtheous judge of the earth.

you would be in an fullyyt diverse state of information. or you is rather not wakeful in any respect. those earthly fears carry no bearing interior the afterlife. And in case you're in a state of "eternal bliss", why might you difficulty interior the 1st place? this is a extensive contradiction. do not agonize over issues like this now. basically stay a sturdy life and be sturdy to those around you.

Will there be an ocean, with creatures that we can safely swim with? Unsure because the Bible does not speak of a 'new ocean' in the new Heaven and new Earth. I hope so because I've always wanted to hang out with the sea otters!

Isn't there always an end to everything? If there is an end to everything than how can the word eternity exist? When does eternity exist? After we die?

Why Yahweh chose only a small remnant to seek it in accordance with His instructions. All the others are theives and robbers, and will be destroyed.

What age will we be when we began our eternal lives..young, in our prime,,say 30...older? Since we will not age in Heaven,,, we will stay whatever age it is, for eternity.
I don't have an answer.

I don't think anyone alive understands the concept of eternity.

Nothing lasts forever. That an afterlife cheapens this life because it takes away the meaning of this life, the only one we are sure of is real.
