Divine intervention

Event that occurs when a deity becomes actively involved in changing some situation

Divine intervention is an event that occurs when a deity (i.e. God, gods, goddesses etc.) becomes actively involved in changing some situation in human affairs. In contrast to other kinds of divine action, the expression "divine intervention" implies that there is some kind of identifiable situation or state of affairs that a god chooses to get involved with, to intervene in, in order to change, end, or preserve the situation.
