我们确信神具有主权，没有人能改变他那隐而未现的旨意。

However, we can know with certainty that God is sovereign and no one can change his unrevealed plan for us.

从某种意义上讲，他是说，可以，你们可以有你们需要的那种实体，你们也可以把它称作一个国家，但是，那样的国家并不具有主权的任何成分，也不在我们自己的真正控制之下。

In a sense, he's saying, 'Okay, you can have whatever entity you want. You can call it a state, but it will have none of the attributes of sovereignty or your own genuine control.'
