What did the three persons of the Trinity agree to do in their counsel?
The three persons of the Trinity agreed in their counsel to create the universe and to place one small planet within it, like a speck in the midst of creation. This counseled agreement set everything in motion, reflecting the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God mentioned in Acts 2:23.
Les explains that in eternity past, before anything was called into being, when it was still nothing, the triune God had a counsel. They counseled with one another. They didn't have to deliberate for a half hour, but the Trinity came together and in a counseled agreement set everything in motion. They agreed to create the universe and to put one little planet down there, just like a speck in the midst of it. This counsel is linked to Acts 2:23, where Peter says Christ was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, and by wicked hands was crucified and slain.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
