Angels created the heavens and the Earth and God is their king

 Angels are there in Genesis 1:1, Elohim are the top angels. In the beginning the top angels created the heavens and the earth. That is the meaning we find from other scriptures which mention Elohim. Jews have not taught it that way. They teach it means majestic plurality of God. Yet that translation of Elohim is contradicted  by their own scriptures. Maybe the Jews who translate it this way are Sadducee tradition Jews who disregard these other scriptures but I think even Exodus shows that it means angels or gods. Exodus uses Elohim to say that Elohim could not save Egypt from the plagues of Yahweh. Yahweh is king over the Elohim, over all of them. The Father over the holiest of the Elohim and king over all of them. Genesis says this too. So Genesis 1:1 is not polytheistic because it later calls these angels who created everything ‘sons of God’ in Genesis 6. So God is over those who created everything. Therefore God is the over all creator. But angels had a huge part in creating. I think the modern Jewish traditions have battled against this. Obviously this contrary thinking from Judaism has found its way into Christianity too.
