Why Did Eru Intervene With Númenor But Not With Melkor? Middle-earth Explained

Eru Ilúvatar seldom intervened in the affairs of Middle-earth directly, but while he did with Númenor, he did not do so with the war against Melkor. Here are my thoughts as to why this was the case! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on this topic in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
