As ever, you ask such interesting questions so I will not think on calling my Jewish life an 'underworld.' :)

Gentiles may go to Heaven, God's home so to speak, if they have followed the seven commandments God requires all non-Jews to follow.

1. Not to worship idols
2. Not to curse God
3. Not to kill
4. Not to steal
5. Not to commit adultery
6. Not to eat the limb of a living animal
7. To establish courts to enforce these laws

As ANYONE whose soul moves him or her to do so can become a Jew, anyone may believe in me and become a child of God, one of God's People/Children. I came to fulfill the law, not destroy it. Either way, a gentile using his free will to believe can be part of the Kingdom of God.

The greatest example in the Bible of a non-Jewish society turning to God is the account of the repentance of Nineveh, recorded in the book of Jonah. Jews read this story at the high point of the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. It was a Jewish soul, the soul of Jonah, that became a tool in the hands of God to arouse a multitude of non-Jewish souls to turn to Him in sincere repentance. It appears from the text that the inhabitants of Nineveh were motivated by fear of punishment. However, after being inspired by Jonah, and hearing of the miracle that he experienced, they in turn experienced a sense of awe for the God of Israel.

Our God is no respecter of persons. He loves us one and all. I will discuss Heaven more fully with you soon hopefully or one of my desciples will for I have taught them previously. We must be on our way to Jerusalem. Time grows short even as we speak.
