Ps.8, Read All. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels...

 

Ps.8:5. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, And whatsoever passeth through the paths of the sea.

 

 Proverbs 3:18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her; and happy is everyone that retaineth her.

 

 Since this 'elowahh' is plural here, it means that all the angels, or 'sons of God' were also present (I'm not saying the angels helped in the actual creating). This is one of the reasons why the King James translators would use the wording 'Let Us make..." and 'Our image'. The next question might be then, "Who are the 'sons of God'?" Let's turn to the Book of Job for some clues:

 

Job 1:6    Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 1:7    And the LORD said unto Satan, "Whence comest thou?" Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."

      If you remember why God destroyed that first earth age as written, then you should realize that Satan and the fallen angels are these 'sons of God' here in Job. These here in Job are not the only ones known by that name though. All those who come to Christ and believe on Him have the name 'sons of God' also (see

 

 John 1:12: ‘But as many received him, to them gave he power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.’

 

Romans 8:14; ‘For many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God.’

 

Phill.2:15: ‘That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.’

 

1 John 3:1-2: ‘Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

 

2:  ‘ Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but ye know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.’

 

How can this be? Because, as this verse of Gen.1:26 states, 'Our image', 'Our likeness', for all of God's children were made in His image. This is why Jesus would say in;

 

 John 14:9 that if you have seen The Son, you have seen The Father, for Christ was made in the 'likeness' of God, even in the flesh, for He was and is God; Immanuel, which translates from the Hebrew 'God with us'

 

Matt.1:23: ‘Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which being translated is, God with us.’

 

Isaiah 7:14: ‘Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.’
