According to Christian theology how did God reached out to people before sending Jesus Christ to earth?God must have communicated with gentiles, I can't imagine entire pagan empires that didn't have a single blessing from God at some point.
Pro Tip: All religions are true and all religions are false.Jesus Christ was either a magic God man or he wasn't but it doesn't really matter because his instructions work if you actually do them and don't act like a total pilpulling kike and focus on David or someone else.

>>533423428Judges them contextually probably. Gave some dreams & visions, and gauged whether or not they (and their fellow countrymen) followed His voice or resisted/rejected it. or it was decreed that they were lost
>>533423428Before the coming of Christ the covenant was affixed to the people of Israel from whom the Messiah was to come, before Abraham God had various servants such as Melchizedek and Job, though how He revealed Himself to them is not known.

The Yahweh entity is portrayed as using the pagan empires as tools with which to punish Israel when they’ve been naughty. He also sent dreams to pharaoh about the 7 cows and 7 corns, so Joseph could come and rescue him.
>>533423428God is always reaching out to everyone at all times, before and after Christ. Logos means law or logic, which refers to cause and effect. Anything and everything that happens to you in life is guiding you towards wisdom, towards God's will. Men like Socrates and Epictetus were able to learn and grow wise because God gently pulled them in that direction through living lessons, exactly in the same way that you and I learn now.
Pagan empires were used for punishment many times. Alexander the Great specifically has God's implicit blessing since his empire is prophecied. God revealed Himself to gentiles. For example, Ruth. He also literally called an entire gentile city to repentance in the story of Jonah that I highly recommend you read because it basically directly addresses your question. The three wise men were gentiles also, given prophecy from God.

>>533423428during the Old Covenant times, God was constantly sending prophets. for example, ezra, nehemiah, and malachi were there when the sacred fire in the second temple was lit. the talmud denies that the sacred fire in the second temple was approved by God, which is a further blasphemy of the talmudists, and their third temple theyre planning to build after setting the red cow on fire couldnt possibly be acceptable since aarons fire has been extinguished and so was its replacement
