In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

i think all of those who've responded thus far have made a really needed mistake. The Riemann rearrangement lemma says that given any sequence it is conditionally convergent yet no longer easily convergent (so Sum a_n converges yet Sum |a_n| does no longer) and given any M it is both a actual style or plus / minus infinity, there's a thanks to rearrange the words of the sequence so as that the proper result converges to M. So any attempt to "pair off" the words of the sequence or some similar trick can't artwork - you may get actually any answer you want that way. in reality, all of us comprehend for particular that the sequence as written DOES converge. An alternating sequence - it is, a sequence of the fashion Sum (-a million)^n a_n - converges if and on condition that a_n has a tendency to 0. on your social gathering a_n = a million/2, a million/sqrt(3), a million/4, a million/sqrt(5),... that is not complicated to ascertain from the definition that this has a tendency to 0 considering a million/2, a million/4, a million/6,... and a million/sqrt(3), a million/sqrt(5), a million/sqrt(7),... both have a tendency to 0. That being stated, I nevertheless can't confirm what the reduce is. i can purely inform you for particular that it absolutely does converge. i have tried to administration the logarithmic ability sequence somewhat, yet no success thus far. i will shop wondering about it.

Ummmmm ok...Satan doesn't exist within my religion nor does hell so Satan-devil...whatever... satan is not a god and never will be. He was created by Christianity as a way to scare people into the religion. Something they continue to day to this very day, some 2,000 years later.

cause He is light and OT said He would use something foolish to shame the rich and powerfull so perhaps I AM that fool?
and it also says in the beginning was the word and then (by capitalization in times new roman font) the WORD became god. notice name TODD.
as my followers note its kind of crazy but follows scripture as all things to glorify HIM. (and times new roman font works best) but this side of ocean hates it because their armies opposed ROMANS in ww2.
EMPEROR
GOD
GODDESS
KING
LORD
LADY
ANGEL
GENERAL
DEATH
HADES
BAT
TAP
STOP
ETC...
ALL THINGS THAT GLORIFY(SPREAD FAME) OF HIM considering reading between the lines they all pertain to a LARRY TODD S. with arm cuts appearing IIII I . And born 1968.9.I7 which is shown in 123456789 upside down when 4 appears as h upsidedown. where 7 upside down is a leg and 5 upside down is ear and 2 upidedown is a face so it reads 68 leg 9 ear I7 E face I and god is I. thus the face of god.
thus god really did put a 1000 year seal on satan as M=IVI stitched together. so His right hand was god and His left arm was satan thus they said satan ruled as god. and ruled really meant He was a construction surveyor who measured roads.
so that was who i was. but biblically i was an orphan who bible says you are to give Me my rights? if not then your faith is worthless to Me.
so god is the beiginning and end means somewhere god changes and chooses a new name just as revelation says.
god is true(true=stitched cut are you arm)
gott is EIN is NI3( a IV I bone)
you may never get anything closer to descriptions of god then Me. and I AM not a ressurectionist cause the Lamb SLAIN=Larri b SL A I IV and RESSURECTION=Rill [iLS SURE CuT I O(space)IV. as the read between the lines specialist showns what it really means and i suspect if killed for real I ain't coming back, so I AM the real Lamb SLAIN which bible calls KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS that all things were biblically commanded to glorify. But existing powers will never recoqnize that prophesy from a book atleast 600 years old. and John said He is pure=DI stitched together ur e(arm) and D=IIII in shape. and that pavement shownsa I7 which glorified His birthday.
the heritics that don't glorify god?
DON
QUEEN
any others?
thats the reason they said the true ruler of the world was the evil one. cause between their street soldiers and queens authorities they want to destroy Me.
Additional Details

DON may not glorify (spread fame) but original title of Abaddon does glorify god as Me by it says A'b'add'on with b=DI stitched together ie IIII I.
and QUEEN glorifies god as man called TODD in that E=[iL when read down from top of E. Thus she too Glorifies GOD as My body by QyoU[iL [iL IV as in cild cuts one then 4.
source reading between the lines of times new roman font CAPITALIZED WORDS.
Guess this country of canada hates Me cause they fought Romans in ww2.
and scientists see god=g+o+d=7+15+4=26=2+6=8=H and like bible said god can only be proved over time so see MARCH APRIL MAY for a quich description of H as god.
Source(s):
thus the Path says DI. stitched together a stitcted cut god.
and truthfully that sad fact keeps me happy in the face of all adversity.
May you find
Peace and Love
