Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Accuser
Satan is styled the "accuser of the brethren" (Rev. 12:10.
Comp. Job 1:6; Zech. 3:1), as seeking to uphold his influence among men
by bringing false charges against Christians, with the view of weakening
their influence and injuring the cause with which they are identified.
He was regarded by the Jews as the accuser of men before God, laying to
their charge the violations of the law of which they were guilty, and
demanding their punishment. The same Greek word, rendered
"accuser," is found in John 8:10 (but omitted in the Revised
Version); Acts 23:30, 35; 24:8; 25:16, 18, in all of which places it is
used of one who brings a charge against another.
