We know about how many people live on the earth currently. Does anyone have any idea how many people have?

died? Question for the Christians alive today: certainly there are those who have passed away without Jesus since the beginning. Certainly there are many who passed away knowing the truth. My second question IS: am I the only one who has a problem with only the ones currently having not accepted Christ be the only ones going through the tribulation? Will God raise the dead in a so called rapture so that they can enjoy the tribulation or have they already gone to hell? The demons DO say "are you here Jesus to torment us before the time" which would suggest that there is a afterlife purgatory right? who we call demons? thanks
