“Synagogue of Satan” might be the most abused phrase in Revelation—and the irony is brutal: the moment Christians weaponize it, they start doing the very work Revelation calls satanic: accusation. In this episode, we slow down and do the unglamorous work most people skip—definitions, context, Jewish frame, and the Bible’s own courtroom language for “the accuser.” We look at how replacement instincts turn “synagogue” into an enemy-word, how history trained those reflexes, and why covenant faithfulness forms witnesses while accusation-culture forms prosecutors. Then we close with a mirror you can’t easily dodge: what is your church actually forming in you—covenant people, or accusers?
