No-no. All the Godly who died before Christ go to a place in hell
called Abraham's Bosom. From there, they can see Hell and those
in Hell can see them. (Which is why the one Pharisee could see Lazarus)
Abraham's bosom and hell are seaparated by a chasm. When Jesus died, He
went to Hell, bridged the gap and brought those in Abraham's Bosom back
to Paradise with him.
This is the big picture I remember, but I'm fuzzy on all the details...
