When speaking of the image man was made in, who is the "our" representing?
Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 1 Notes For Genesis: In Genesis 1:26 it says "our image". Some have speculated the "our" is referring to the Creator and the dust, since man is made from the dust. However, I believe "our" is exclusively referring to Elohiym because in verse 27 it states, "in the image of Elohiym He created him". This shows that the "our" is exclusively referring to Elohiym and therefore not referring at all to the dust. It does not say "in the image of Elohiym and dust" but just "in the image of Elohiym". Therefore the "our" must be the Father Yahweh and, I believe, His Son Yahushua, as He is "The Word" (Revelation 19:13), and the Word was in the beginning (John 1:1). This reminds me of John 1:15 and Colossians 1:15-17.
