לזכות א"מ ר' יצחק יונה בן חנה
וא"מ מרת הענא מרים בת חנה
Chazal say that Hashem made a condition with the sea at the time of creation that it would split before the Jewish people. The medrash mentions other miracles that were included in the conditions with creation.
Apparently this is explained by the idea that after the primordial sin everything has both good and bad which is the way that man has free choice and it is therefore impossible for a revealed miracle to take place in this world because it is above the point of free choice between good and evil. When there are miracles there is no hiding of Hashem's Hand and thus erases man's capacity to choose freely. That is what Chazal mean when they say that a maidservant saw at the sea what even the prophets didn't see, meaning that we were above the point of free choice of this world. Therefore it is necessary to make a condition for these miracles to occur at the original point of creation for they are above the level of this world where there is no hiding of Hashem's presence in our world.
So the condition had to be made outside of the framework of our known world of free choice. This was before the sin at the point of creation.
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!:-):-)
