The first thing we have in Genesis 1 is God alone creating all that is not God: 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth'.

Thus we have not many gods, ranked in order and responsible for various parts of creation, but one God who is the maker of heaven and earth and everything in them (compare Psalm 33.6, Acts 4.24, 14.15, 17.25) including all spiritual beings (Colossians 1.16).

He is the God who says: 'I am the Lord, and there is no other' (Isaiah 45.18). All things exist by his will and for his glory (Revelation 4.11).
