Satan was the chief archangel, who apparently administrated all of God's creation. When he rebelled, all creation suffered.

Today, he is indeed a tool used by God to test and perfect His people.

A Jew (that is, someone who actually understands the Old Testament) would disagree with you, it doesn't say Satan in those verses.
