I remember asking my pastor this in the Sunday school class you took after baptism when I was about 12. He said that was a really good question, and that he knew Abraham and Moses, and some other prophet went straight to heaven, but he'd get back to me.
The next week he said that in the Book of Hebrews it talks about how Christ took those old souls to heaven between the time of his crucifixion and the resurrection. I'm still not sure. Supposedly those that kept the Hebrew covenant with God by obeying his laws would have gone to heaven, but since Christ was the first "perfect" man, I assume all the Jews faltered at some point. Were they all in Hell until Christ went down there and rescued them? I'm still not sure, and it's still a great question.
