Easton's Bible Dictionary
Satan is styled the "accuser of the brethren" (
Revelation 12:10. Comp.
Job 1:6;
Zechariah 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.
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
(
n.) One who accuses; one who brings a charge of crime or fault.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
ACCUSERa-kuz'-er: This word, not found in the Old Testament, is the rendering of two Greek words:
(1) kategoros, that is, a prosecutor, or plaintiff in a lawsuit, or one who speaks in a derogatory way of another (Acts 23:30, 35; Acts 25:16, 18 Revelation 12:10);
(2) diabolos, meaning adversary or enemy. This word is rendered "accuser" in the King James Version and "slanderer" in the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version (2 Timothy 3:3 Titus 2:3). According to the rabbinic teaching Satan, or the devil, was regarded as hostile to God and man, and that it was a part of his work to accuse the latter of disloyalty and sin before the tribunal of the former (see Job 1:6; Zechariah 3:1; Revelation 12:10).
