Scripture points are shared, today, on the full participation of divinity in putting forth Creation. Many aspects of eternal being remain holy, sanctified and separated from created beings and living creatures. Those that have been made known are like shadows that outline and suggest a full material substance, and should be regarded as “the tip of the iceberg,” not the complete presentation of all there is. Thus, without going beyond the holy writings, many believers also consider the idea that those of heaven who may have been present at the creation of earth were the Father, the Son, the holy angels, the 24 elders (e.g., Revelation 5: 14, 11: 16 and 19: 4, King James Version), various sacred beasts, and the seven Spirits of GOD (see Revelation 3: 1, 4: 5 and 5: 6, KJV). One of the fighters at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Anonymous” (the usual profile information withheld) posted the following:
Why does God take counsel with Himself, when he finally creates mankind.?
“God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness’” (Genesis 1:26).
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
LET THERE BE ANIMALS
LET THERE BE VEGETATION
LET US MAKE MANKIND IN OUR IMAGE
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: (Colossians 1: 12-22, KJV)

“Anonymous”, the Creation is understood among mature Christian believers as a complete expression to reveal the authority, character, makeup, nature, eternal purpose, and sovereignty of divinity. Consider again the following:
(1.) Genesis 1: 1-3, King James Version (KJV): 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
(2.) John 1: 1-3, KJV: 1 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.
(3.) Romans 1: 18-20, KJV: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
(4.) Colossians 2: 8-12, KJV: 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
(5.) Ephesians 1: 10-12, KJV: 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(6.) Acts 17: 28-30, KJV: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:)
Again, there is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually taken into account. (For example, (7.) Proverbs 15: 21-22, KJV: 21 Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly. 22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
