Satan doesn't hate humans,

I can tell you from first hand experience that he hates followers of Jesus.

I don't think he understands that yet.  He is still looking for a way out.

I wholehearted agree with both of these statements.

Hi guys. I have really been pondering about this question for long, but couldn't find any satisfactory answer. Does any of you guys know the answer to this question?

Thanks in advance

Because they are created in the image of God, and the devil hates that..

But the verse says lets create man in OUR image. Who is the ''our''? Obviously, then its not only in the Lords image that we have been created.

That is an interesting question, and I'm not sure I've ever heard an answer that satisfies my personal thoughts about it.  I've actually had some rather interesting discussions with myself on the subject.

Could it be that the most high and the angels were the ones saying that ''let us create man in our image?''

There is a whole realm of heavenly beings that very little is talked about.  If we understand the numbers there are at least 100 million angels (whatever those are).   I have my own ideas, but they are generally a bit too far out to put here.

Here's mine, but it's not too far out, it's too close in

And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

13  And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

I think you are totally right. It wouldn't surprise me if the number of angels were more than 100 million. Lucifer used to be one of them before his or her fall. But that shows that the most high already had a heavenly family. ''Let us create man in our image'' might be the heavenly family and the most high saying it. The Hebrew bible use the word ''elohim'' (gods) which might include the angels. From a human standpoint, the heavenly beings would seem like gods because of their supernatural nature and overwhelming power over humans, hence the word ''elohim''.
