there are things we don't know that God does, let Him do His part and we do the possible. as they say God does move in mysterious ways.
how about you? how many times have you heard the gospel? have you accepted the Lord?
it's up to people you see, God will make a move, a miracle we don't know of, what's important is if we have heard the gospel what do we do with it? only 2 choices ignore or accept.
I for one have heard it 1984 and I accepted Him as Lord and Personal Savior.
it's easy to ignore and reject, it's not actually a famous topic for people. actually the most ashamed of topic :lol:
disrespecting me does not matter but God does matter.
it times of Moses and the law, Jesus was not physically present to be their Saviour but God did made a move by giving an anti-type of Jesus the lamb, the sacrifices and the blood all pointed forward to the Lord, He's the Perfect Lamb that was slain, by the blood of Jesus demons of hell must flee, diseases will get healed, the sacrifices done to the lamb are typical of sacrifices of the Lord on the cross.
so it's all the gospel, about the Lord, even if the Lord was not physically present all thru adam until Malachi they pointed to the 4 Gospels for salvation, "looking forward" while us in this time, we're "looking backwards" what's done on the cross of calvary is our offered salvation to all of us in these present and future times.
now which is easier looking forward or looking backward? it all depends on the people that have misused "free will" as their trap for not accepting.
im not even talking about religion it's a different thing, it's man's move to reach for God, while God has provided the way it's "relationship" that matters not "religion"

That doesn't answer what happened to all those who died in ages past that never heard of Jesus.. I'm not disrespecting you, just that I see some flawed logic here. (And certainly not to turn this into a religious thread)
