Death before Christ??

[JohnWhaley]

I'm a new reborn Christian. I have no Bible knowledge to really speak of. My question is What became of the souls of people who died before Jesus defeated Death? I mean how were they saved? or did they all go to Hell? I tryed looking for the Anwser, but I got lost.

all repleys welcomed.
