who said Abraham is in Sheol?
In the Bible
The Torah, the most important Jewish text, has no clear reference to afterlife at all. It would seem that the dead go down to Sheol, a kind of Hades, where they live an ethereal, shadowy existence (Num. 16:33; Ps. 6:6; Isa. 38:18). It is also said that Enoch “walked with God, and he was not; for God took him” (Gen. 5:24); and that Elijah is carried heavenward in a chariot of fire (II Kings 2:11). Even the fullest passage on the subject, the necromantic incident concerning the dead prophet Samuel at En-Dor, where his spirit is raised from the dead by a witch at the behest of Saul, does little to throw light on the matter (1 Sam. 28:8 ff.). The one point which does emerge clearly from the above passages is that there existed a belief in an afterlife of one form or another. (For a full discussion see Pedersen, Israel, 1–2 (1926), 460 ff. A more critical view may be found in G. von Rad, Old Testament Theology, 2 vols., 1962.) Though the Talmudic rabbis claimed there were many allusions to the subject in the Bible (cf.Sanh. 90b–91a), the first explicit biblical formulation of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead occurs in the book of Daniel, in the following passage:Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence (Dan. 12:2; see also Isa. 26:19;Ezek. 37:1 ff.).
The OT does not say righteous people go to heaven. They all go down into Sheol, with few exceptions like Moses and Elijah.
You are the one that claimed all are judged immediately when they die. This is the case now because Jesus opened the gates to heaven that were barred in Sheol, allowing those trapped there like Abraham to get into heaven. Without Jesus it is not possible. People were not allowed to go to heaven before the Messiah.
