Deuteronomy 28:10 -
Thou art called by the name of the Lord ; rather, the Name of Jehovah called upon thee. The Name of God is God himself as revealed; and this Name is called or named upon men when they are adopted by him, made wholly his, and transformed into his likeness. This blessing Israel enjoyed as a nation—"Theirs was the adoption and the glory" ( Romans 9:4 )—but it was theirs only in symbol and in shadow ( Hebrews 10:1 ); the reality belongs only to the spiritual Israel, and this came to men in all its fullness when he who is "the image of the invisible God" appeared and set up his tent among men, full of grace and truth ( John 1:12 , John 1:14 ).
