 :''And some of them said, "Well, didn't you say that you seen a vision of this?" You know how people get things mixed up.
 :''I said, "I got the tapes on it. See? Come, listen. I never said it was Joseph." I said, "The Lord has put in my heart that I'm going to have a son by the name of Joseph." See? I said, "I don't know how, when, or what, but it's going to be." So I didn't know. "I may have--may have six girls before we have him, but he will be here." Well, that just never left my heart. And we went on.

+:''I was just talking to my little boy, Joseph. Oh, my. He's quite a boy. You know, I... How many ever remembered being in my meetings that I saw a vision of him coming six years before he got here, told the people about it, and his name would be Joseph?
+:''Doctor said, "She can't have another baby."
+:''I said, "Yes, she can."
+:''So the next one come; it was a girl. So then did I get a razzing. Ministers wrote me letters from everywhere, said, "You meant Josephine, Brother Branham."
+:''I said, "No, I meant Joseph."
+:''The doctor said, "She can never have another child."
+:''I said, "Oh, yes, she can: going to have one more anyhow." So when she got... We know four years later, that she was going to be mother again, and poor little thing, I went up to the--to the, my place and was praying for her. I come back, and she didn't how things was going to go. And I said, "Honey, don't worry. The Lord just said it's 'THUS SAITH THE LORD.' Everything's running just right."
+:''So she went in, and you know how the waiting fathers walk all the paint off the floor. We were waiting, and I was wondering what was happening. A nurse come down, she said, "Reverend Branham?"
+:''And I said, "Yes, ma'am."
+:''She said, "You got a fine seven pound, three ounce boy."
+:''I said, "Joseph, you been a long time getting here, but daddy's glad to see you."
+:''She said, "You called him Joseph."
+:''I said, "That's his name." Certainly. So then...
+:''You know when he was little, just a little baby, he had a little sister four years old, and one eight: Sarah and Rebekah. And they used to love to bite him to make him cry, just to show he didn't have any teeth, you know, just his gums. They thought that was something. He didn't have any teeth, just his gums showing.

+:''You know, I remember, little Joseph about six years before he was born. I was over at Minneapolis a praying. I was just reading the life of Joseph, what a wonderful person he was. And then there was... I went into a little closet where I had my clothes hanging, and I pulled the door together. And I was just a weeping and--and thanking the Lord for this Joseph.
+:''And Something just said to me, not a vision, but Something just said to me, "You'll have a boy, and you'll call his name Joseph."
+:''So I thought, "Well now, that's fine. I thank You, Lord." So I begin to tell the people about it. Well, immediately, about, oh, about a year later, there was a little baby born in our house. When it was coming on, some of them said, "Is this Joseph?"
+:''I said, "I don't know." I said, "Can't say that." For our other one had been a girl, four years since. And so then when the little baby was born, it was a little girl. Then you talk about razzing me, especially my brothers, you know, brothers in flesh that said, "I thought it was right every time, Billy?"
+:''I said, "It is. Just don't worry. He will be here."
+Said, "Oh, yeah. Meda, thirty-five years old, and sectional birth each time. Said, "I know it'll be here."
+:''I said, "Sure."
+:''Said, "You sure of that?"
+:''I said, "I'm positive of it." I said, "God always tells the truth. I'll have a baby and his name will be Joseph."
+:''And so they said, "It can't be."
+:''Two years, one year passed, two, three, four, going into the fifth year. No, no Joseph yet.
+After while when Joseph come along, why, I was down at the hospital, and wife was up in the room. :''And here come the nurse down. And some of them said, "Is this Joseph?"
+:''I said, "I don't know." I said, "I know Joseph is coming. I don't when." I said, "He will be here."
+:''Nurse come down the steps, she said, "Reverend Branham."
+:''I said, "Yeah."
+:''Said, "You got a fine seven-pound boy."
+:''I said, "Joseph, you're a long time getting here. But I'm sure glad you arrived."

+:''Many of you has heard of Joseph, haven't you? The African people recently sent him a little coat of several colors. I saw him six years before he came, when the doctor said we'd never have another baby, we could not have. Our children had to be caesarean. My mother, my wife's people is that way; they--their babies are all caesarean. And the Lord told me I was going to have this baby, when the doctor said it could not be done, said it just could not be done. I said, "It'll be anyhow." And we waited four years after a vision come that I'd have a boy, and I should call his name Joseph.
+And after that, there was another girl born. Everybody laughed at me and said, "You meant Josephine."
+:''I said, "No. I meant Joseph, as a boy." He'll perhaps take my place when I'm gone, if Jesus tarries. And four more years, then the doctor was positive there'd never be another one; four more years Joseph arrived.
