 :''...a vision come down and said, "You will have a son, and you shall call his name Joseph." And so, I begin to announce it to all the people.
-If this was a prophecy, it appears to be the only one that was actually recorded on tape prior to it's fulfillment.
+If this was a prophecy, it appears to be the one of the very few that were actually recorded on tape prior to its fulfillment.
+But did he really have a vision telling him that Joseph would be born?
+The only place that this "prophecy" is recorded in advance of Joseph's birth is on May 6, 1951 when William Branham stated:
+:''And I got down on my knees, and I asked our Lord if He would give us another child: possible, give us a little boy. And I would name him Joseph, if He would give me another little boy.''
+:''...And I--I believe it's just ahead of me. I-- what I've ask for is, I believe that God has it just ahead. I believe I'll live to see it. And that's what I pray for.''
+Then of Billy Paul, he said:
+:''My Joseph was right with me when--and I didn't know it.
+Is this a clear prophecy?  Or is it simply a man asking God for something?  Certainly if Joseph had never been born, we could not have pointed back as with the [[The Brown Bear Vision|vision of the Brown Bear]] or [[The Vision of the Meetings in South Africa|the vision of the meetings in South Africa]] and state that the vision was not fulfilled.  William Branham does not mention a vision at this time.  It is only mentioned after the fact.
+Therefore, this cannot be considered to have been a clear prophecy given publicly before the fact that was later clearly fulfilled.
