Timmy, the words of Luke 16:14, as well as the opening portion of verse #15, explicitly advises us to whom Jesus was conversing - the Pharisees.

Jesus' parable here was foretelling of the circumstances which both the righteous as well as the unrighteous can expect to experience following the coming resurrection and judgment.... NOT that this is the condition of those who have and will die until these two future events occur.
