I've been thinking about the direction of the series lately and I feel like there is some metaphorical stuff going on with the MoM and the Foretellers. With the Foretellers being named after a deadly sin, it made me think of other biblical references. The MoM describes a traitor, kind of like the Judas situation with Jesus. I'm not saying it's an exact replica of the Christian stories in the bible, it just seems like there are Christian references/inspiration being used for the new saga.
Another factor that really makes me think that is the introduction of The Final World and Shibuya. The World Ends With You featured angels and a lot of spiritual elements. KH also seems to actually acknowledge real death now and there's even a special heartless to usher hearts to the darkest depths (The Lich).
So I don't think the MoM is actually Satan, but I think his role in the saga will be similar to Satan's role in biblical stories -- an agent of chaos. We see the MoM manipulating Young Xehanort, the Foretellers, and he may even end up trying to use Sora. He also seems to have an agenda specifically relating to Kingdom Hearts that isn't "take over the world". Maybe there is something beyond Kingdom Hearts that he has an issue with (like the "creator"/God type character?)
