Who else is god referring to when he says "Let us make man in our image" in Gen 1:26?

The Bible tells us that God said: “Let us make man.” (Genesis 1:26) Do you know whom God was talking to?— He was talking to his Son. He was talking to the one who later came to earth and became Jesus.

At Revelation 3:14 he speaks of himself as “the beginning of the creation by God.” Not only is he “the firstborn of all creation” but as the “only begotten Son” he is the only one who was directly created by Jehovah God. (Colossians 1:15; John 3:16) In addition, “all things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.” (John 1:3) Therefore, when we read at Genesis 1:26 that God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness,” that “us” includes the Logos, or Word. Surely, the fact that Jesus in his prehuman existence had the marvelous privilege of sharing with Jehovah God in creation makes him worthy of great honor.

Edit....

The holy spirit, is Gods power, it's not God or his son Jesus Christ.

God’s Active Force; Holy Spirit. By far the majority of occurrences of ru?ach and pneu?ma relate to God’s spirit, his active force, his holy spirit.

Not a person. Not until the fourth century*C.E. did the teaching that the holy spirit was a person and part of the “Godhead” become official church dogma. Early church “fathers” did not so teach; Justin Martyr of the second century*C.E. taught that the holy spirit was an ‘influence or mode of operation of the Deity’; Hippolytus likewise ascribed no personality to the holy spirit. The Scriptures themselves unite to show that God’s holy spirit is not a person but is God’s active force by which he accomplishes his purpose and executes his will.
 
Gen 1:26:

"Then God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, ...."

Is god acknowledging other gods?
So the holy spirit looks like a person?
 
The Heavenly Court, his assembly of angels/divine manifestations.

Christians have a bad tendency to read everything in the Torah as a reference to Jesus or Satan. That's like thinking lines in the original Star Wars refer to Jar Jar Binks.
