Deuteronomy 28:10 Summary

Deuteronomy 28:10 tells us that when we are called by the name of the LORD, the whole world will see it and be in awe of us. This means that when we follow God and obey His commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:9, He will bless us and make us a blessing to others, and people will take notice. As believers, we are called to reflect the name of the LORD to the world, as seen in Matthew 5:16, where Jesus says that we should let our light shine before men, so that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. By living according to God's ways, we can demonstrate our commitment to being called by His name and bring glory to Him.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be called by the name of the LORD?

To be called by the name of the LORD means to be identified as belonging to Him, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:10, and to be set apart for His purposes, as stated in 1 Peter 2:9-10, where believers are called to proclaim the praises of Him who called them out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Why will the peoples of the earth stand in awe of those called by the name of the LORD?

The peoples of the earth will stand in awe of those called by the name of the LORD because they will witness the blessings and favor that God bestows upon them, as promised in Deuteronomy 28:10, which is a result of their obedience to God's commandments, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 28:9.

Is this verse only applicable to the Israelites, or does it apply to believers today?

While Deuteronomy 28:10 was initially spoken to the Israelites, the principle of being called by the name of the LORD and being a witness to the nations applies to believers today, as seen in Acts 11:26, where the disciples were first called Christians, and in Revelation 21:12, where the names of the twelve tribes of Israel are written on the gates of the New Jerusalem.

How can we, as believers, reflect the name of the LORD to the world?

As believers, we can reflect the name of the LORD by living according to His commandments, as stated in John 14:15, and by being salt and light in the world, as mentioned in Matthew 5:13-16, so that others may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some ways that I can demonstrate my commitment to being called by the name of the LORD in my daily life?
  2. How can I balance the desire for the world to stand in awe of me with the humility that comes from recognizing that it is God who deserves the glory?
  3. What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God more fully, so that His blessings and favor can be evident to those around me?
  4. In what ways can I be a witness to the nations, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 28:10, in my own community and sphere of influence?

Gill's Exposition on Deuteronomy 28:10

And all the people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord,.... Called his children, his people, his portion, and his inheritance; and that they are his, and he is theirs,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 28:10

And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. Called by the name of the Lord - i:e., are really and actually His people (Deuteronomy 14:1; Deuteronomy 26:18).

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:10

i.e. That you are in deed and truth his people and children: see 26:18. For to be called ofttimes signifies to be, as ,5 56:7 ,19 21:13.

Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:10

Deuteronomy 28:10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.Ver. 10. And they shall be afraid of thee.] Natural conscience cannot but do homage to the image of God stamped upon the natures and works of the godly. When they see in them that which is above the ordinary nature of men, or their expectation, they are afraid of the name of God, whereby they are called; their very hearts ache and quake within them; as is to be seen in Nebuchadnezzar, Darius, Herod, Dioclesian, who was so amazed at the singular piety and invincible patience of the primitive Christians, that he laid down the empire in a humour, Quod Christi nomen se deleturum, uti cupiverat, desperasset, because that when he sought to root out religion, he saw he could do no good on it. Bucholcer.

Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 28:10

(10) That thou art called.—Literally, that the name of Jehovah has been called upon thee.And they shall be afraid of thee.—Comp. Jeremiah 33:9 : “And they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity, that I procure unto it” (Jerusalem).

Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 28:10

10. thou art called by the name of the Lord] Lit. the name of Jehovah is called over thee, as that of thine owner. Other instances of the figure in 2 Samuel 12:28, Amos 9:12, Jeremiah 7:10 f., Deuteronomy 14:9, Deuteronomy 15:16, etc., Isaiah 13:19.
