Bema Seat Rewards

Q

Since he will still have access to the Heavenlies, will Satan be watching the Bride receive our Bema Seat rewards? I can’t imagine that such an incredible event would be tainted by allowing him to be there.

A

Satan won’t be totally expelled from Heaven until the beginning of the Great Tribulation by which time the Church will have been there for several years. Therefore I suppose it’s theoretically possible that he could witness the bema seat judgment. Personally, I think the only way the Lord would permit that would be to give him a first hand demonstration of the magnitude of his defeat. But that’s just an opinion. There’s no Scripture to back me up.
