Satan is an anglicized version of a hebrew word that translates to "adversary"

Having faith in god also means having faith that humanity can put aside their selfish inclinations and work toward creating a better world and one day maybe paradise. Thats why the idea of the messianic age has become so important in Judaism, And Maimonides acctually considered Beleif in a coming Messiah to be essential to Judaism despite the Torah not talking about the messiah. And of course in Christianity the belif that jesus was the messiah is central.

In the book of Job, God is convening with his heavenly assembly of sorts and one of the heavenly beings, the satan, essentially argues that humanity cant overcome their selfishness, implying that they are incapeabke of ushering in a messianic age. Again, satan means adversary or one who opposes.

The message of the story if the fall from eden is basicslly that if it werent for humanity's fatal tendency to create and rationalize their own ideas about right and wrong we would be able to bring about paradise. If we lived according to God's will and not our own selfish desires we could have a better world.

God has made covenants with humanity because God beleives we can do it, The satan argues otherwise Its just biblical narriative (and from the writings not even the torah) that is used to get a point accross and while I think its an important point satan has certainly taken on way more meaning than it originally had in the public mind.

Emphatically no.
