Revelation 12:9. “Devil” Definition

John, 

I am going through different versions of Rev 12:9, and a question come to mind.

In Verse nine, I looked top the word “devil”, and found the meaning was “false accuser”.  If Satan was a law and order kind of creature, as you have told us, why would he be referred to as a false accuser?

Hope To See You Soon,

Wendell

Hi Wendell, 

You can forget that definition.  Some Christian scholar made up that meaning to make sure his Readers would not like the Devil.​

“Diabolos” does not mean that.

Satan was a prosecutor in heaven before he was cast out, and he never falsely accused anybody in God’s court.
