The Messenger




Horses are not native to America. They were brought here by Spanish explorers. They became crucial to the Westward movement. In 1861 they took up where the Iron Horse(train) ended. They made a link between the east and the west coast.

All things are a shadow of the reality. As the time of the coming of Jesus Christ in his kingdom drew near the signs have multiplied. The discovery of America and then the great discoveries here have shadowed His coming. such things as electric lights, combustion engine, flight and space flight and now even the computer world are all shadow of His coming. The Messengers going out on Horse back from Saint Joseph to the west were also a sign of His coming.

The Hannibal-Saint Joseph railroad placed Saint Joseph as the farthest west point in the Union. As the war broke out it became crucial to link to the west and the Pony Express did the job for a year and a half until telegraph lines were established. This made saint Joseph crucial to the Union.
