Question

According to your view, in the past there were miracles and individual providence. As far as I remember, it was written here on the site that in your opinion, during the First Temple period there were probably still miracles and providential interventions.
In the description of Sennacherib’s siege of Hezekiah’s Jerusalem, we are told about a clear miracle (not a private miracle or anything like that) that was visible to everyone — the enormous Assyrian army was destroyed in one night by an angel of God.
According to the historical documentation, we know that Sennacherib did indeed withdraw from the siege (which seems very puzzling), but not because his entire army was destroyed in one night, but probably because he received a bribe or for some other political reason.
So the fact that Sennacherib’s siege was lifted is a historical fact — the question is what caused it:
a crazy miracle (as it says in the Hebrew Bible, and according to Michi’s approach he probably took it seriously), or a completely natural and normal reason.
Logically, it seems there is no reason to think there was a “crazy miracle.” I’ll explain in a few lines why:
The explanation: if such a large part of the Assyrian army (maybe even the whole army) was simply wiped out, you can bet there is no way Assyria would have continued to exist as the strongest world empire for many decades afterward (we know it continued to exist as the world’s superpower for almost another hundred years after the story, until the rise of the Babylonians).

What do you think, Michi? Shouldn’t the historical facts presented above cause you to back away from the thesis that “there were open miracles in the past”?

I’ll note in passing that your thesis violates Occam’s razor, and in my opinion that’s enough to show it’s clearly incorrect (why not go with a completely natural faith-based approach, and instead assume that there really were miracles in the past?).
