Israelite Millennial Faith Stationed in Benton Harbor
Benton Harbor hosts Benjamin and Mary leading the House of Israel sect called the Israelites, who expect 1916 to inaugurate Christ's thousand year reign. They practice celibacy, vegetarianism, hair traditions, and claim to be the 144,000 elect with immortal bodies. They travel in prairie schooners preaching, anticipate miracles, and expect a new world capital led by Benjamin.
