If those in Christ are not under condemnation, and we are given to Christ in eternity, why can I not conclude the we are justified in eternity?
Because the Scripture says you are justified NOW> There is no condemnation when?

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him.

Romans 5:11 and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

Now does nto imply that we have not been Justified in eternity. Now can also mean the realization to our assurance.

Again, I may be wrong, but how were the OT saints justified prior to the historical even of Christs death?

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
