Satan's saying that before the war in heaven, God's power just seemed like any other king's power, as if God sat on the throne of heaven merely because of those humanly constructed reasons of tradition, or of old repute or consent or custom.

撒旦是说在这场天上的大战之前，上帝的力量就和其他国王的力量一样，他坐在天堂的宝座上似乎仅仅是因为,人们自己营造的原因和传统，或者说是他过期的声望，他制定的法规以及约定俗成的规矩。
