“because it must be made clear to the world that it is God Himself who intervened”
But will it be made clear to the world or just to the elect? The world is coming under delusion and I can see the supernatural occurences as being “explained away”!

You are correct... the setup of the delusion appears to be already underway, but it relates to the acceptance or rejection of the gospel.
Prior to the rapture, there are other prophecies which suggest that a great out-pouring of the Spirit will occur, in conjuction with signs in the heavens, and something which happens in the mideast that clears the way for the temple to be rebuilt. Whether that is the rapture, or a pre-rapture war against Israel is not clear to me.
What is obvious to me is that God wishes to do as much as he can to win more souls before He ends the Age of Grace.
Up until now, the church has been given every opportunity to do as much as it can. Before it is taken away, I believe God will become more outwardly involved with the effort (miracles) to include signs that cannot be explained away by natural or man-made phenomenon.
