Rev chapter 4 describes the throne of THE LORD GOD and HIS 24 Kings-Prophets and 4 king-saints and angels. Thus, the word our refers to their spiritual likeness which we mankind will become per divine plan. Pls read on-But the truth is only the Prophets and Saints and their disciples called the chosen ones among natural men are the only ones given the knowledge of this mystery of the Kingdom inluding the THRONE of THE LORD GOD. It is so as the natural men whose spirits were created from the dust of the earth will not understand it yet and not today but in the soon coming Kingdom of Heaven. On one hand, the spirits of the Prophets and Saints called the chosen of GOD, were created from the precious stones from THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM; while the spirits of the chosen ones among natural men were created from gold dust and silver dust and that the spirits of satan was created from the mud of the earth and the demons from the clay of the earth. Thus, I believe in the next life and even the eternal life that will never end. Paradise is where THE LORD JESUS CHRIST ASCENDED IN A PLACE CALLED CELESTIAL HEAVEN. In the center is THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM (Rev 21:10-21) and surrounded by the countless puregold planets and on their grounds are the garden of paradise. This celestial heaven is in an infinite space without end but filled up to the brim of puregold planets in a way it ends is beyond imaginations. The City of GOD made of precious stones ( on one hand, imagine the City of New York) and on top of MT ZION is the ivory palace of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is THE LORD AND GOD OVER THIS UNIVERSE AND ITS INFINITE SIZE CALLED OMEGA-THE UNENDING WORLD. And all of these were already written in the BOOK OF THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA-the unending world before time began. These are revealed to the Prophets who are given by THE LORD GOD the revelations of the future which is the directions of all our lives. However, the present Prophets like the Prophets of old, the majority peoples do not believe them.But our lives are not our choice and it is called destiny to an unending future in the Kingdom of GOD. It is so because mankind are destined to become gods or like-GOD in the omega-the unending world of paradise prepared by THE LORD GOD for us. But the devil and his demons who will incarnate as human beings like fake-Christ, false Prophet or the demons as druglords, warlords, gambling lords, wealth lords, etc are destined for perdition. In Revelations 21:6 THE LORD GOD said It is done! I AM THE ALFA AND THE OMEGA. This means that the STORYBOOK OF OUR BEGINNING UP TO THE UNENDING WORLD OF OMEGA-from eternity to eternity have been written. This is in the power of THE LORD GOD which we understand only through our faith in GOD. Thus, by this written will of THE LORD GOD everthing is bounded by the WILL OF GOD. For your sake, I wll show you the essence of the messages of the OLD TESTAMENT and present Prophets who were present when the HOUSE OF THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WAS BEING BUILT IN CELESTIAL HEAVEN (Zech 8:9). The Prophets messages have three corners of space-real spaces. The first space of history that they talk and prophesied about is our universe. Everyone understand the message of the prophets on this space as this is based on our simple logic of one plus one equals two. The second space of history is the future earth that will start in the year 3500 under THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN where their planets grounds are called the garden of eden. This future earth, based from the Alfa and the Omega exists, and the logic here is not a simple logic, as this world is a semi-perfect world where its inhabitants are men born in the spirit called angel-like. Thus, as we do not understand this world yet, the logic here is faith in GOD whose all power and might belong to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is the GOOD SHEPHERD who leads you into green pasture-the garden of eden. The 3rd space history is the coming KINGDOM OF GOD after 15 billion years of the Kingdom of Heaven of the old earth and the old heaven; in here in the new earth and the new heaven, the angel-like men will be born of GOD and will become gods or LIKE-GOD. This space or kingdom where the garden of paradise are located is perfect in contrast to the earth's space which is imperfect whose garden are of disasters. The Kingdom of GOD in a celestial heaven is a higher dimension such that the LORD JESUS CHRIST said I AM from above and you are from below -referring to our physical universe. When the Prophets talk about this celestial heaven, our current simple logic can not understand the Prophet's message as the logic here is faith in GOD. And the garden of paradise is further describe as glorious, with the living water that flows and the trees are the trees of life and the grounds are made of puregold planets. The City of GOD, THE HOLY CITY JERUSALEM at the center of all the countless puregold planets is described in Rev 21:10-21. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD. Pls refer to my website-http://groups.yahoo.com/group/THEGOODNEWSOFTHEKINGDOM/

Yes, Jehovah was talking to his son, Jesus Christ, and in John 1:1-3 tells us that Jesus is along side of his heavenly father Jehovah creating all things. Colossians 1:16 tells us that Jesus has the power and authority to create.
Proverbs 8:30, 31 describe Jesus as a master worker, a co creator.
Look at Jehovah's cardinal qualities, Love, Justice, Power, and Wisdom. Image means "shadow or semblance,"
We were created with these qualities and more, reason, spirituality, courage, strength, compassion, the list goes on.
This is the "Image" of Jehovah God, our creator, and when we apply these things in our daily lives, reflecting on Him, His purposes, His will, and treat our fellow man with dignity and respect, then we are exercising those Godly qualities.

The word used in the Hebrew is "Elohim," which is a masculine plural of a feminine singular noun. Therefore both number and gender are confused. It's been argued that this may refer to a tradition, long since abandoned in the main line of Judaic tradition, that God had a feminine component. "In the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Gen. 1:27.) This would seem to imply that the "image" of God is both male and female.
The word "Elohim" itself probably derives from the Canaanite "Ilhm," which was a plural form of the name of the father god El, and referred generally to the pantheon of gods associated with him.
It certainly does NOT refer to the Christian concept of the Trinity - that piece of silliness came centuries later. Nothing is much more disingenuous than reading Christian dogma into the books of the "Old Testament." (Of course, that's what the whole religion is based upon - spurious "fulfillments" of the ancient prophecies and so forth.)
As for the "Royal We" excuse, it's true that at the time of the King James translation, it was a standard convention for royal personages to speak of themselves in the first person plural; but the anomaly here is in the original Hebrew, as explained above.

It was Jesus as God's only son God personally created. All things were created afterward through him. Col. 1:15-17; John 8:23, 17:5

The Trinity-Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Here is my understanding of the verse, "Let US make man in OUR image - in OUR likeness." Such a verse would seem to suggest a trinity or Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I often use that verse when speaking with Jehovah's Witnesses.

The common answer: Hes talking to Jesus silly!
Un-common answer: Hes talking to the OTHER gods!
LSD influenced answer: Hes talking to the other Aliens who created us!
My Answer: God is infinite and impersonal, thus can be a we or an I.
This pretty much shows all sides of the argument.

God is a Triune God, meaning He is in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
