“I believe this brother to be the new spiritual, “elevated” John Henrick Clarke. His harmonious fusion of historiography, spirituality and geo-politics gives him an acute sense of the ancient past, the historical present and the prophetic future. The spiritual and intellectual symmetry of his presentation whether on-site or in the classroom, inspires and enlightens”

“Dr. Avimelek Ben Israel cast a light so pristine on the true history of the indigenous people of the Bible that he causes the blind to see, the deaf to hear and has given hope within the African Diaspora. I recommend him to any serious student of biblical history, anthropology, or sociology as well as those who simply want to know the truth”

“As biblical scholar, historian, and one who loves the word of God, I appreciated and reveled at brother AviMelech’s ability to cause the Bible to open up in such colorful, vivid and detailed terms; more than enlightenment, it was a great joy!”

“His presence was reminiscent of the princely brothers in the movie `Coming to America`. Dr. Ben Israel’s royal African continence, his insightful observations and overwhelming collection of facts brought new life to years of research into the African presence in the Bible….I just can’t stop talking about my encounter with this brother who lead me to see the original face of Israel and the paradise called The Village of Peace”
