Appointed leader in each age needed for religion to be true.

I was thinking about this issue. If a religion is from God, there should never cease to be a link between God and humans in a form of a leader appointed by him. That leader would be chosen by God, not by the people, and would be able to do miracles. It's only in this instance can we know for sure the following :
1) What are the commands of morality and what morality generally encompasses objectively.
2) The true interpretation of the holy texts
3) The will of God regarding a new issue or dispute
4) That the religion has not be corrupted or is not man made
If he can perform miracles and is a purified holy person, I see that as a proof from God upon the people. In every age, such a leader would lead in all aspects of society and be looked unto as the light of God and representative of God.
Now the only thing is only no such leader exists. The ones claiming to be appointed guides have no proof, no miracles, and we are back to square 1. Or the religion claims to have one who can do miracles but is now hidden from the masses. So again, back to square 1.
If God wanted us to follow a religion from him he could of easily done so by appointed representatives in all places, in all times, with proofs of miracles.
The fact that he only does so in a specific time in a specific place for such brief period, shows, all in all, it's most likely is a man made religion.
