I think they're still going to trap him, and Jack will keep the balance in his stead. They can't replace God outright (i.e.: kill him and have someone take his place in the Natural Order) because the Natural Order probably isn't fond of that kind of acrobatics, they can't kill him, and they can't trap him without someone else keeping the balance. Jack offers a solution to the trapping problem.
