Christian View

God created angels. Satan was one of God's angels but rebelled against God. He was not called Satan at that time.

Jewish View

Yes, Judaism holds that God explicitly created the Satan as he created all of the angels. However, unlike Christianity, Judaism asserts that the Satan never rebelled against God nor does he direct or control evil in the world. The Satan is God's loyal opposition, whose job it is to cross-examine God, His actions, and advocate against humanity. This leads to him generally having the responsibility for arguing that humans should not receive mercy when they arrive in the Afterlife (in contrast to God who wishes to provide mercy).

The Satan is one of the few angels in The Bible whose name is never explicitly stated; the Satan is his title, i.e. the Opposer, just as the Healer is Raphael's title.

Where did Satan get his powers from if God never gave it to Satan?

In Isaiah 45:7 it says that God created evil. But it doesn't say that God does evil in anywhere I looked . God could create evil things but it doesn't say that God makes you do evil. It's like God created the choices to do good or to do evil . It does say that God makes you do evil things. But you can say I'm looking for it. You could say that God created the powers of evil that Satan choose to use but God never forced Satan to use those evil powers.
