A review of biblical history shows that it is not unusual for the Omnipotent God to anoint a personal representative on earth and to invest His authority in that representative.

Abraham was the “friend of God.” (2 Chronicles 20:7)  Moses was told that while Aaron would speak on his behalf, Moses himself would stand in the stead of God. (Exodus 4:16)  Jeremiah was chosen of God before being formed in the womb.  (Jeremiah 1:5)  And, Yeshua told his disciples that “whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He shall give it to you.” (John 16:23)

Yet, there will be those who look upon Ben Ammi Ben-Israel, Messianic Leader of the Kingdom of God, and ask, “On what authority does he receive this mantle of messianic leadership?  

Any sincere review of his works will certainly lead one to the obvious conclusions:

-    In 1966, he received a vision revealing that the time had come for the descendants of the biblical Israelites, among African Americans, to return to the Promised Land and establish the Kingdom of God!  A year later, he led 350 African Americans from inner-city Chicago on a journey to the bush of Liberia, West Africa.

-    In 1969, members of that community entered Israel and laid the foundation for God’s Kingdom on earth – a government of men and women governed by the laws of God.

-    By 1990, their courageousness and diligence was rewarded and the community became renowned as an oasis of social harmony, free of crime, drug abuse and immorality.  Israeli media declared the community “an island of sanity,” and extolled Ben Ammi’s inspired leadership. Even the U.S. Congress took notice, labeling the accomplishments, “the miracle in the desert.”

Viewed through the prism of his achievements, we are compelled to know that he is much more than an author.  For those who have been watchers of time, searching for the messenger sent from God, we implore you to take heart, and be of good courage.

Behold the man of God…
