43. Miracles Today

From a talk in 1991:

The fall of the communist dictatorships of the Eastern Bloc was a kind of miracle that has no historical precedent. Never before were so many people affected by such radical change with so little violence.

The miracles of the Gulf War were open miracles. The same scud missiles that took countless lives in Iran were impotent when they struck their target in Israel. The soldiers and officers of the Allied Forces saw inexplicable miracles in their victory.

Other miracles took some thought to realize that they were miracles, that the laws of nature were not the only thing at play here. But anyone who saw what occurred in the Gulf War saw openly that this was miraculous.

And yet people ask, “Where are the miracles today?”

Those who fired those missiles are the ones who took lives. In the case of the senseless, disastrous war between Iraq and Iran, those were tens if not hundreds of thousands of lives. In Israel, however, G‑d's miracles protected us.

"The same scud missiles that tookcountless lives in Iran were impotent when they struck their target in Israel. "
I felt a pain in my heart when I read these words. I do not understand how one can use the words - God, miracle, and loss of countless lives - in one sentence and feel anything positive. Can it be so that God would be proud of one set of people taking countless lives of others?

Miracles today
The greatest miracle that happens every moment of every day is that there is an existance at all. For each and every moment since the time of creation, G-d chooses that everything exists having come from "nothing", and infuses creation with His energy to allow it to be.

Are you saying when they hit their targets in Israel, for some unknown reason they did not explode?

Miracles are Real!
I agree that miracles are still in progress. We only need to look around like failure of Scud Missiles in Israel and many other matters.
