Do you believe that Nonbelievers are accountable to God's Law while they are living?

Yes if they are not elect and Christ didnt die for them. Now if an elect unbeliever, no they are not accountable to the Law in a salvation sense, Christ has already been accountable to the Law for them.

The Bible seems to say and, especially in Revelations, that the Earth is wicked, and it is speaking of everyone.

I hold the view that nonbelievers are indeed accountable to God's Law, even while they are living. Romans 2:14-15 reminds us that "when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law." This shows that God's moral standards are embedded in the hearts of all people, giving them an intrinsic awareness of right and wrong.

However, Ecclesiastes 12:14 states, "For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil."This speaks to the universal accountability of all individuals before God. Thus, even those who do not recognize Him are still subject to the truth of His moral law.

Of course, they are. God is their Creator and Judge, as he is with all humans. They are responsible for turning away from their Creator to trust in his creation instead of him (Romans 1:18 and following).
