What Does Deuteronomy 28:58 Mean?
Observing all the law's words—written in the book—is meant to produce fear of God's glorious and fearful name. If the law is not kept, this reverential fear fails. Without it, the disobedient lose the foundation of covenant relationship: awe and respect before God.
The name of God represents His character, power, and authority. Covenant-keeping produces fear; breaking it produces presumption and loss of reverence.
