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, {a} because that when he sought to root out religion, he saw he could do no good on it.

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 was the adoption and the glory" (Rom_9:4) but it was theirs only in symbol and in shadow; (Heb_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. (Joh_1:12, Joh_1:14)
The world afraid of the godly.

I GOD"S PEOPLE CALLED BY HIS NAME. God calls or names his Name upon them, i.e. distinguishes, owns, chooses, recognizes them as his, by dwelling among them, (2Co_3:16) by causing his blessing to rest upon them, by answering their prayers, by favoring their cause, by establishing their work. (Psa_90:13-17) "God is love". (1Jn_4:8) His "Name" expresses pre-eminently that attribute of his character. (Exo_34:6, Exo_34:7) It can, therefore, be revealed only upon or in relation to his own people.
II NOMINAL AND REAL CALLING. "They are not all Israel which are of Israel". (Rom_9:6) Real, as distinguished from nominal, saints are marked:
1. By obedience to the Divine commands. . ((ver. 9; Mat_7:22)
2. By separation from the world. (2Co 7:17, 2Co 7:18)
3. By the power of holiness dwelling in them.
4. By manifold tokens of the Divine favor.
Thus the world "sees" them to be what they are. (Act_4:13)
III THOSE KNOWN TO BE CALLED BY GOD"S NAME ARE FEARED. Worldly men fear them. They fear the holiness that resides in them. They fear their prayers. They fear their power with God. They feel that there dwells in them a Presence whom they have every reason to dread. J.O. (Act_2:43)
