ACCUSER A legal term describing a person who claims another is guilty of a crime or a moral offense. The Hebrew word for accuser is “Satan” (compare Ps. 109:6 in various translations). See Satan. False accusation called for serious punishment (Deut. 19:15–21). The psalmist prayed for judgment against his accusers (Ps. 109:4, 20, 29 NAS, NIV, NRSV). False accusers led to Christ’s conviction and death (Matt. 27:12). Jewish accusers (Acts 22:30) finally led Paul to appeal to Rome (Acts 25:11).
The law of Moses was sufficient to accuse people of sin (John 5:45), but one day accusations will cease (Rev. 12:10).
