According to the Bible,
God is a Triune God - He was speaking about the Trinity.... God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), God the Holy Spirit.....
In Genesis chapter 1 verse 2 it says ..'the Spirit of God hovered above the waters' - so God the Holy Spirit was there
In the Gospel according to John chapter 1 vs. 1-3, (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.) - we see evidence that 'the Word of God' which is one of the names for Jesus... was also there in the beginning...
So, it refers to the Triune God, The Trinity...

Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:"
God was talking about himself and the angels, including Lucifer who had no yet been cast out of heaven.
I see that many of the people responding to your question do not know who God is, I will also answer this.
God is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, and these three are one, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost
John 1:1 In the BEGININNING was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...
1 Timothy 3:16 ...God was manifest in the flesh...
Isaiah 45:5 I am the Lord (Jehovah), and there is none else, there is no God beside me:
Isaiah 48:12 ...I am he; I am the first, I also am the last
Isaiah 48:17 ...I am the Lord thy God...
John 3:3 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
God said you must be born again, or you will not see the kingdom of God.
Notice he didn't say be a Johovah witness. He didn't say be baptisted. He didn't say speak in touges. He didn't say praise allah.
The God of the Bible said ye must be born again or you will not see the kingdom of God.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already...
You must be born again. Find an Independent Baptist Church or a Bible Church if you have questions of how to be born again.

There are so many answers to this one people believe that at the time God was alone but if that were so then why did Satan tempt Adam and eve in the garden? study would allow one to know that Satan was once a second only to God and when he found out about the downfall of man and Jesus taken his place at the right hand of God he started trying to take over the heavens and failed. a person could write books and through studying bible and enlightenment one gets answers that even the world at large does not have.
I could go on and on but to make the answer easy for all - Jesus, Satan, and legends of angels were there to assist with making the population of this world, look in Genesis everything is just a copy of its pred. in heaven.

Personally, I think He was talking to the Angels since He had already created the Heavens and the Earth. I believe in the Trinity but I dont think this is a verse that supports it because no other time is Father, Son and Holy Spirit spoken of in plural like "we, us, our"
I believe we are in the image of God, that we are body mind and spirit like He is... and so are the angels.

Proverbs 8: 22-31 gives the answer to this question. Some claim it's talking about wisdom and it's true that the chapter starts out that way, but those verses describe a person.

The Lord is of the God head, He was talking to the Holy Spirit.

tell me this who is god? no one can answer this; but yet all religions claim to know the answer. does one way of thinking have a better answer then the next...........NO. We are all accustomed to what we grew up with Catholic, Muslim, Hindi, or morman; whatever. If you grew up in the middle east you would replace god with Allah; because you say a western words does that make you better than over a billion people who say Allah. whoever made us, or set forth the motion of evolution, it gave us free thought. it is necessary to answer this without being held back by religion. we are all the same we all want the same safety, peace, and happiness. Why is this so difficult.

You guys do realize that the trinity was a creation at the Concil of Nicea? I can show many proofs on this if necessary.
The bible is allegorical. However if you want a different prospective, gnostics believed that the God was a false god and had many archons with him when he tried to bound man to a carnality. HOWEVER!!!! That is all allegorical.

He was talking to himself in the trinity....the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
The Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Gen 1:2
Speaking of Jesus "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3
The three were all involved in the creation when God was talking to himself in the trinity.

Poor Christians.
It was not God that made the world, it was the Elohim (manifestations of God) that made the world.
the Kabbalah teaches there are 10 dimensions, and there is a manifestation of God in each dimension. These 10 Elohim made the world, animals, plants and man.
