The Rarity and Purpose of Miracles
Miracles are often perceived as frequent occurrences in biblical times, yet in reality, they are relatively rare. For instance, even someone as significant as Moses experienced a miraculous revelation only after 80 years of his life. This rarity serves a divine purpose, as God reveals Himself through nature before supernaturally intervening. The existence of something rather than nothing is in itself considered a miracle, highlighting the intricate balance between natural and supernatural experiences.
