From what I remember, I don't think the Israelites had any definitive belief regarding the afterlife. There is certainly very little information on the matter in the O.T. books that comprise The Torah. The real emphasis is placed on what one accomplishes in this present lifetime here on earth.
It's like saying, "All those in Poland heard The Word.
Would that be Poland, the country, which has a population of 38 MILLION or Poland, Ohio, which has a population of 3 THOUSAND??
So much for, "No one held you there against your will."
edit: I was also subjected to a "locked door" situation in the mid 1970s. Just who the he!! did they think they were, anyways?
Ok-----This is off topic.
When The Stones played that song on The Ed Sullivan Show, he made them change the lyrics to "Let's spend SOME TIME together." It's hard to believe how much things have changed in 45 years.
