If what you say is true and if indeed all that God has said about a resurrection unto life of all those in history who have believed God's word and been justified by their faith then there is going to be a huge issue between God and Abraham and also God and David. He has made covenants and everlasting promises to them concerning the land of Palestine and an everlasting nation.
Rom 4:1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Being honest with the text, What did Abraham believe that justified him? Are we told? Can we know?
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. (in other words, Sarah was too old to have children)
The point here is that one must believe in the word of God before he can believe in Jesus Christ and be saved from sin. You are believing in Jesus Christ but you are not believing the word of God when you deny what he says. This is not what Abraham did. God was speaking to men 2500 years before he wrote a single inspired word. The things he said to Abraham are some of them.
Now he is talking about saved nations.
20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22 And therefore it (his believing God the Father) was imputed to him for righteousness.
Abraham and his experience was a snapshot in time of what God the Father was going to accomplish through Israel, the nation, and Jesus Christ, Pictured through Isaa'c the miraculous son of God. He is the promised Seed through whom all the families of the earth will be blessed. His life and experiences are prophetic.
Consider this verse:
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him (God the Father) that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
You must believe the words of the Father. If there are not nations on earth during the 7000th year of human history and then in the new heaven and the new earth, then ignoring all the promises to OT Israel will be justified and my believing they are true and sure will be proven vain.
The OT confirms the NT
There were no promises to Abraham that he would go to heaven. His promise is that he will be heir to the world.
