a fruitful tree among the tribes

Genesis 49

1 And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.

22 Joseph is a fruitful branch; A fruitful tree by a well; his branches shoot over the wall.

This morning when I came to my phone there was a text from one of the Levites of Israel. It started thus,"a good name is better than precious onintment." What a good name you have O, Saint Joseph, Missouri. What a precious thing in my sight today,is the name of Joseph upon this ground. This name is incorporated into this ground by the word of the oath. The boundaries are legally set. A line is drawn, inside it is Saint Joseph. The name of Holy Joseph is the strong reality and destiny of this spot. All the world recognizes this piece of land as Saint Joseph! Someone in a far off land, can write a letter and put a name and address in saint Joseph, Missouri, then pay a little price and that letter will come to this great spot on the Missouri river.

The picture above is taken inside the Buchannan CountyCourt House, This is the center of the authority of the name of Joseph on this ground. The native tribes said this was holy ground. Some said it is the holiest on earth. And it has now come to be called Holy Joseph! The Word came to America and to this place and agrees with the tribes. The Word has brought the name of Joseph to rest upon this spot. The Branch of Joseph has come to this place! I thank the heavenly Father for Saint Joseph, Missouri. Anyone who stands right with the Word of the oath in Saint Joseph has an open heaven above and all the reality of the name at hand.

When Joseph Robidoux was planted in his fur business here, it was not a part of the State of Missouri. This land by writing belonged to the tribes. Possession of land by the authority that is written was a foreign thought to the tribes here. They were learning,as again and again they wrote with those much more skilled in the legal matters that writing is. The French Joseph did not stay within the boundries, but true to his name, he branched over the wall, as is written in the Book. He entered out into the tribal land and established himself as a fruitful tree, in the midst of the tribes. From this little seed a city rapidly grew. Truly the west would be tamed from here!
