Matthew Lee Anderson dissents from my case about nonpronunciation of the Name; he doesn’t persuade me, but this is a very strong paragraph on the question:
The OT is replete with prayers that the Name of the Lord would be glorified, but this is not simply a matter of praise and renown but an expression of the desire that God would make His glory immanent among His people, that He would be with Israel by dwelling again in the Temple. The time between the prophets is the most pronounced period of withdrawal of the immediate disclosure of divine glory in Israel’s history (as I think even Catholics who affirm the inspiration of the Apocryphal literature produced then can affirm). In that light, the reverence for the Name that develops might be construed as a kind of expression of piety for the return of that glory: as the Lord goes silent, the Name becomes more weighty.
