Question

The Rabbi said that it makes sense to conclude that God changed His policy regarding hidden miracles because it is clear to us that He changed His policy regarding open miracles (there are no open miracles today, unlike in the past), and therefore there are no difficulties from the Bible regarding the view that God does not intervene in any way, because He simply changed His policy from the one described in the Bible. My question is that in the Bible there is a difference between the description of the policy regarding open miracles and hidden miracles. In the Shema it is explicitly described that if we worship God, rain will fall and there will be abundance (a hidden miracle), whereas descriptions of open miracles are not accompanied by any condition based on our behavior. Therefore, perhaps it is not correct to infer that because God no longer performs open miracles, He also no longer performs hidden miracles. We see that there is a difference in wording between the types of miracles. It also makes sense to think that God intervenes less in the world through open miracles because we are like a child who has grown up and matured and no longer needs that assistance, but a hidden miracle like the one described in the Shema is simply God's permanent mode of action in the world (or at least until proven otherwise). The proof for this, as I said, is that in the Torah God's policy regarding a hidden miracle is written explicitly, while God's policy regarding an open miracle is not written explicitly, and one cannot infer a change in one policy regarding the other policy.
