At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure his indignation. 11Thus shall you say to them: "The gods (Elahhs) who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens."
Jer 10:12-13,” It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens. 13 When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
Isa 45:12, I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host."-
B.W. I'm in total agreement on all of this. It is God alone who created all. God, the most powerful entity beyond our wildest imagination. What my original point was, and I may have been wrong and the plural may well have been God talking amongst the Trinity, was that God was conferring with those in his heavenly court. God acting alone in creation doesn't rule out this heavenly court as existent.

To my knowledge, it doesn't. It's a description I've heard before and am willing to use for the angels and others who I believe surround God and have surrounded him from the beginning (and beyond). But I guess I'm just putting my thoughts down here, not trying to make a set-in-stone theological assumption.
Nehemiah 9: 6: "You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."

Absolutely agree. And I'll butt out of the rest of your post as I'm in complete agreement with you, and am beginning to think God probably is conferring with the Trinity (as in the author of the thread's original question). But I still believe there is some sort of "heavenly court". But I accept I'm wrong on this being the answer to the question.
Godbless.
