Best Answer

Yes. The Satan is mentioned in the Book of Job as the primary antagonist of the story.

However, it is worth noting Satan is actually incredibly loyal to God and like other angels, performs his duty without question or issue. 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. 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.

How was Satanism created?

There is no mention of Satan (the 'adversary') in any Old Testament scripture written before the Babylonian Exile.
