Thanks much. I'd caution against reading 2 Chronicles 7:14 to mean "the people who are named the same as God." The phrase "the Name" is used in some funny ways in the OT. I learned about this in Michael Heiser's "The Unseen Realm," which has a chapter on it. The angel of the Lord is called "The Name of Yahweh," etc. I read the line "my people who are called by My Name" to mean something like "my people who were summoned by My authority."
