  Curt Chanda denotes in his article very clearly and well-founded that it was God's intention that His glorious Name יהוה (YHWH / IAUA / YaHUaH) would become known and called upon by all people on the entire earth, and that the enthusiasm of His people about Him and His Name would be contagious to other peoples. This was the intention of His ways with the pariarchs and the people of Israel, so that all nations would know and praise His glorious Name.
