Satan per the book of Job and other encounters between himself and God, satan is a servant. Albeit one in rebellion he yields to God never the less.
So he's performing Mr God's will?
yes
Satan plays a role in the will of God, even through his rebellion.
Just like the people here who hate God play a role. their's is to become the obstacles that test and try the faith full they become the storms of life that help proof and sharpen the faith of those who believe.
Or did you think an omnipotent God was powerless to control a lessor being a slave a servant? God simply let Him Go and let Satan do Satan within a set of boundaries again as per Job and the temptations of Christ.
As it is Satan is the ruler of this world. this world this realm is the closest thing to a satan run hell as he is allowed to make. which means all the non God morals, right and wrong that does not come from/contradicts God's righteousness comes from satan in opposition to God. in an attempt to switch the 'roles satan and God have. (or so says the book of Revelation concerning the last days.) You can't tell me that is not how things are shaping up now.
