Did you read Gedeon in scripture?
Yes. Fascinating story, read it last night. However , why do you think I dont understand how God works his miracles? Or more to your point that God wants EVERYONE to know that a miracle has occurred.. The Miracle of the Sun was witnessed by thousands and widely reported in the press. Thats a pretty clear sign that God would provide a miracle "so that all may believe."
You think the consecration of Russia is going to provide another immediate miracle . You said, The conversion "happening over a long time line" (1984 to 2010++++) will not convince anyone that it was caused by a "consecration" in 1984.
It has already been pointed out on this thread that since the consecration in 1984 there have been a series of events that would confirm what Sr. Lucia wrote. The consecration has been accomplished and God will keep His word.
The errors of Russia will not go away overnight. As I mentioned, this will be accomplished in Gods time, not yours. As an example of Gods time Ill point out the second apparition which took place on June 13, 1917
In the second apparition Lucia asked the Lady, "Will you take us to heaven?" The Virgin responded,
"Yes, I shall take Jacinta and Francisco soon, but you will remain a little longer, since Jesus wishes you to make me known and loved on earth. He wishes also for you to establish devotion in the world to my Immaculate Heart."
That little longer turned out to be 88 years. You need to be more patient my friend. God is in control, not you.
