· Translation: KJV

Revelation 12:10I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.

The setting

Patmos Island, Greece, ~95 AD. A thunderous voice announces the end of Satan's role as prosecuting attorney in heaven's courtroom...

The emotion here: stunned by the cosmic celebration erupting around heaven's throne

The original word

katēgōr (κατήγωρ) — the accuser, literally 'one who speaks against' in a legal setting

Why it matters

In ancient courts, the accuser stood to the right of the defendant to bring charges

Read with care

What most readers miss in Revelation 12:10

The word 'brothers' includes both men and women - all believers are family

Common misconceptionPeople think Satan can still accuse them before God, but this passage declares his prosecuting days are finished - Christ is now our only advocate.
