There are those for whom the word 'miracle' is associated in their imagination with supernatural occurrences, such as the parting of the Red Sea, the sun stopping in the sky, fire falling from the sky, etc. Human, earthly actions that can be explained - do not constitute a miracle in their eyes.
However, our sources say that God performs great miracles even within natural and earthly systems. In certain ways, these miracles are greater than the miracles that rob natural systems.
Because when a miracle breaks nature, it shows that God is stronger than nature and has the power to change it; whereas when a miracle passes within the systems of nature, it teaches that nature too is nothing but a tool in the hands of the Creator, and at His will the systems of nature move 'like material in the hands of the Creator.'.

The purpose – final destruction
We don't always get to see the hand of providence that drives the moves. Sometimes the processes unfold over many years, and it is difficult to connect the dots and see the overall process and its purpose. Sometimes we watch a painter's work and don't understand his actions. He draws a line here and a line there, applies a stain here and a stain there. Only in the end do all the pieces of the puzzle come together and the complete picture is revealed.
This is written in the psalm that is recited every Sabbath: "A foolish man does not know, and a fool does not understand this.".
What is it that is difficult to know and understand? The psalm continues: "When the wicked flourish like grass, all the workers of iniquity flourish." You see evil rising and flourishing, spreading its arms to every corner, and great wonder fills you: Is there no justice and no judge?! And this is precisely what you do not understand, that there is a divine move here whose purpose is "to destroy them forever"; to eradicate this evil once and for all.
This divine process passes through thousands of human actions and decisions. Various commentators can give various explanations for each action and decision. But this is only an external covering for the hidden hand of the Creator, which directs all events. Only in retrospect, in the perspective of time, do you see with amazement what a sublime picture is being woven before our eyes.
A journey to redemption
Take yourself back two years. We knew full well what a noose Iran had built around us, pouring enormous resources into building vast underground infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, and more. If you had asked all the experts and commentators back then whether we had the power to collapse and destroy this axis of evil, they would have told you that it was a hallucination.
Now connect the dots and see what a miraculous divine move is taking place here. Indeed, it began with a terrible and painful bloody event, on Simchat Torah last year, but from there it progressed step by step, layer by layer, and now we are witnessing a decisive war at the head of the serpent. Into this move enter the changes in the United States, the Russia-Ukraine war and more – all to rescue the people of Israel from the death trap that our enemies have set for us.
For these great miracles, we must thank the Creator of the world, along with gratitude to all those who were messengers of providence during this sublime process, both at the political and military levels.
We are certain that this process will not stop here, but will continue and intensify until true and complete redemption by our righteous Messiah.
