This, Eru was/is entirely not willing to involve himself in the world's issues, and created the Valar for that general purpose.

Only time I can think of Eru taking direct action is the sinking of Numenor, am I forgetting any?

He dealt with Melkor after the shit got annoying and out of hand, since Tolkien was a catholic and middle earth was supposed to be real earth, Jesus and the End of Days are without question

Wasn't that the Valar during the War of Wrath? They cast him into the void themselves and obliterated Beleriand during the conflict?

No, Eru straight up just said ‘fuck it’ and dealt with it

Instances of Eru's direct intervention were:

>Sanctified the creation of the Dwarves by Aulë, giving them life and sapience, and were his 'adopted' Children.
>At the behest of Yavanna, he allowed the Ents into being.
>The creation of his Children, the Awakening of the Elves and Men.
>The Changing of the World something that the Valar themselves could not have done.
>Several coincidences and signs of higher providence throughout history, such as Bilbo Baggins finding the One Ring.
>The resurrection of Gandalf after he was killed by Durin's Bane, something that could only be done by an Authority higher than the Valar.
>The fall of Gollum into the fires of Mount Doom, thus indirectly causing the destruction of The One Ring and dissipation of Sauron.
