How can we possibly believe all hope is gone for those who have died in unbelief ?

Think of the countless number of people throughout history who lived and died before ever hearing about Christ.
There is No way for them to die with Christ as their Savior for they already died before learning about Jesus.
That does Not mean the ransom for many - Matthew 20:28 - does Not apply to them.- Romans 6:7
For they have Not committed the unforgivable sin of Matthew 12:32; Hebrews 6:4-6.
So, they can have a happy-and-healthy physical resurrection back to life on a beautiful paradisical Earth during Jesus' coming millennium-long judgement day. That is why the ' future tense ' is used at Acts 24:15 that ' there is going to be ' a resurrection.......

Seems as if the living humble figurative ' sheep ' on Earth of Matthew 25:31-33,37 have the best life insurance policy possible because those living 'sheep ' at the soon coming ' time of separation ' on Earth can remain alive on Earth, and continue to live on Earth, right into the start of Jesus' coming 1,000-year governmental rulership over Earth begins.
