Job suffered, but in the end God awarded him during his life time on earth.
The apostels saw the miracles of Jesus first hand. Moses parted the red sea with the help of God for everyone to see, even the egyptians saw this. God help the Jews win battles again neighboring enemies. Abraham, Lot and many others saw God energy first hand.
Why is it that God has not appeared to us since the Bible was finished? What proof is there the God of the Bible really exists??

I see Him Act in my life like this every day. You just need to open your eyes to see the miracles that are happening all around you.
I have a friend who was just completely healed from Stage 4 cancer-she is cancer free-no evidence that she ever had it. I have another friend whose 17 year old son was healed with broken knee cap.
One young couple in my prayer group was in a very deadly car accident a couple weeks ago at a high rate of speed with their 2 Young children-they had just left for vacation and had prayed for God's protection on their trip-their car and the other car were totaled but no one was hurt in either car. Even the police were shocked.
There are a few Red Seas that have parted just this year.

God stopped intervening after John wrote the book of Apocalypse, the last book of the Bible. Everything that we needed to know to continue our life until Armageddon is already written in the Bible. What holds us together is the love for our Father in heaven. The good news is that we already left the Dark Ages and the light of the truth is getting brighter and brighter as we approach the end of iniquity.
Proof that the God of the Bible really exist, I see it everyday. The fact that I am experiencing existence, that I see in colors as supposed to black and white, that I am able to taste to enjoy food while eating, that I not only breath but I am able to capture scents. These are just some proof that a loving creator, who most people call God, really exist and we are not here just by chance.

Before Jesus, God interacted directly with His people. If He didn't, how would they believe and obey? After Jesus, we can have the Holy Spirit as our personal guide. He is with us always and guides or steps. We know God is real because He is with us day in and day out. In the OT, they just had those big encounters to remind them that He as real, and if you read Exodus, even the biggest most obvious miracles got forgotten pretty quickly.
God does still intervene all the time, just not usually in such big obvious blatant ways. Because, as I said, we have the Holy Spirit now to remind us who God is. The principles of rewarding faithfulness are still in full effect. I have been the recipient of a large chunk of miracle money when I really needed it. I've seen how being obedient with my tithe has blessed my finances regularly. And I've seen the opposite when I don't tithe.

He does. Try visiting a hospital or nursing home. How about visiting victims where their homes have gotten burned down or flooded and see first hand how the Red Cross and other Churches step in to help these families out. You see we are here to help each other and when you step back or get involved in others lives, then you will see God move. Out of something bad, something good usually comes out of it. That's how God works. Satan will make something bad happen but God will turn it around for good. Miracles happen everyday you just have to open the eyes of your heart to see and be a part of them. How many homeless people have you helped in the past week. Or how many of the elderly have you volunteered to visit and just sit and talk or read to with them? Don't blame God for you choosing to close your eyes to great deeds. He puts it on a mans heart to help others and when you choose not too, you can't blame God. You can't!!

Once I was visiting the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland and got really close to the edge and the earth loosened and I plummted down to the sea. Out of nowhere a strong gust of wind scooped me up and I landed safely. As far as I'm concerned this was divine intervention. I requested the Vatican to update the Bible but have not heard back from them since.

Let me ask you a question in response: How seriously have you sought out God?
God (Jesus) will not force Himself on anyone.
Job, Moses, the apostles and yes even Israel at one time all sought out God first (though Israel frequently turned away). After they did this, God "intervened," and quite substantially
He still intervenes and saves those that (genuinely) seek Him out today (as opposed to following what you are told to believe or choose on your own). And yes, He intervenes 100% supernaturally as in miracles as well and first hand as well.

God DOES inteverne today like in Bible times. I'll give you a short example and make a long stroy short. My wife and I were both agnostic/atheist in our early twenties. She came from a Jewish background and I camd from Protesteant/Catholic. After our marriage my wife came down with a horrible disease that eventually turned to pre-cancerous cells. The doctor gave her 6 months to live. One day while sitting on the toilet and passing pure blood, she reasonsed that if their really was a God he could heal her since he created everthing. She called upon the name of the Lord and suddenly the ceiling in the bathroom opened and angels descened with a strong wind. She felt pressure against her stomack. When it was over she was healed of her disease. She came out of the bathroom and told me what had happened. I was full of doubt and begged her not to tell anyone else of this experience because I felt ashamed. I told her that she was hallucination because of her sickness and very weak condition. She weighed only 90 pounds at the time. But the reality of her healing was confirmed by the doctor during her monthly protoscope. This has been over thirty years ago and she remains healed. God still intervenes in the name of his son Jesus the Lord and Messiah.

In fact, there is no proof. The whole matter is that God must be taken on faith. I personally don't believe because I cannot take things on faith, but other's can and do. There will never be proof and it can be explained away by the fact that we now have a 'New Testament' God who is more reserved and kinder.
In a word, there is no proof, and that's enough for the Christians.

The Bible shows that miraculous spiritual gifts passed out of existence after they had identified the newly established Christian congregation as God’s instrument for spreading true worship. (1 Cor. 13:8-11)

Because of this great illusion they call "logic" that has blocked people like you from connecting to the divinity within. Of course you can't see God if you don't believe that God exists... But I've witnessed plenty of miracles because that can exist in my reality.
Your question alludes that your innermost being cries out for guidance, for proof of a greater existence. To that I answer, all you have to do is look at the beauty and perfection of the natural world, and realize that same virtue exists within yourself.
Good luck in dispelling the illusion that has been put over you and so many, including both worshipers of religion and non-believers.
