South Africa's Modern-day Nostradamus eyewittness account of 3rd World War

Seer van Rensburg

During the last quarter of the previous century and the first quarter of this century, no one was better known in South Africa than the Seer, Nicolaas van Rensburg. He was a legend during his lifetime and not only did well-known generals of the Anglo-Boer War, believe that he was a prophet, but even scholars from Cambridge University, England.

Genls Louis Botha and J.C. Smuts on more than one occasion bore witness, even in Parliament, that Nicolaas van Rensburg’s prophecies had come true during their lifetime.

Nicolaas van Rensburg did not only see death, spilling of blood, war and destruction. He also made many predictions regarding world events, which have contributed to him being recognised as a true prophet.

Nicolaas Pieter Johannes Janse van Rensburg was born on the 30th of August 1864, near the town called Wolmaransstad, South Africa, on the family farm, Rietkuil, where he spent his childhood. Like most children of his day, he grew up in difficult and turbulent times.

Seer Astonishes Cambridge Scholars

At the age of seven he started his schooling that lasted a mere 20 days, for his father needed his help on their farm, and since then he never had any formal education again.

By means of the Bible, his mother, Annie, was able to teach him, with difficulty, to read by spelling and deciphering the words one at a time. Until his death the Bible was the only book he ever read, yet his knowledge and wisdom not only astonished his own family and friends, but even scholars from Cambridge University, England (who had perused his visions). They could not believe that he never had any formal education and that he was just an ordinary and illiterate farmer without any knowledge of world affairs.

Just like his mother, he disliked violence to such an extent that he could not even stand seeing an animal being slaughtered. It is therefore, an enigma why he took part in two wars and stayed throughout, until the end, even though he foresaw the disastrous outcome.

He is also the only soldier in known history who was always in the front lines, but never shot at or killed any of his enemies, for he never carried a gun.

According to the English author, Lawrence G. Green, “Nicolaas van Rensburg was a small man with hunched shoulders, a bushy beard and amazing eyes which seemed to behold an extra dimension beyond the sight of ordinary men. He was a tormented creature, for he had visions which gave him no peace.

Life was a double torment to Van Rensburg, for he went through it twice: in his visions as well as actively.”

How heavily this burden of prophet or seer rested on his shoulders, nobody would know, but in his early twenties he had already started greying and was chosen as an elder in his church.

He predicted the destruction of the twin towers of the Trade Centre in New York. The outbreak of the Arabian Spring. Devastating earthquakes in Japan. The beheading of a British citizen (with connections to the Royal House) in the streets of London. A 100 years ago (1914) he saw millions of blacks, Coloureds and Muslims flooding the gates of Europe and England and eventually this will lead to Europe’s total collapse. Black on white violence, particularly in the USA and Europe. A ‘massive civil’ war in Ukraine (Russia). In the same year he saw South Africa would have a black government in the future.

And lastly a financial crisis in America and the Europe will lead to a collapse of economies worldwide.

Less than six months before his death in March 1926, the Seer not only foresaw the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela, the end of apartheid and Mandela’s release (March 11, 1990), but also his rise to power and his alliances with Russia, Eastern

communist nations and certain Arab states.

Some of his Major Prophecies

• World War I an the Great Flu Epidemic: In July 1914 he said to Genl. Koos de la Rey: “During the past week, I often saw darkness descending over the world. It is a darkness in which many nations will be ruined. War is going to destroy millions. But in the aftermath of the war I see a mourning-cloth descending over the world; darkness when all nations will lament and pray; I see the sickle of death mowing down millions. It is a terrible disease which will cause more deaths than the battles of the war.” Then he told him of the other strange vision: “After that, I saw a sharp sickle on the eastern side of Europe. I do not know what it means. (I have never seen such a sickle or such red flags).
• The Great Depression: The Seer had a very interesting vision which makes one think of the dream that Pharaoh of Egypt had concerning the seven fat cows and seven emaciated cows. The Seer’s vision: In the morning I see two shite horses that come to graze in the marsh. They graze with their heads facing towards each other and in the afternoon they turn away from each other. They are thin and emaciated. Then another one appears and he looks like the other two, and they were three. In this vision he foresaw the economic collapse and three-year Depression and abject poverty of 1933.
• World War II: Concerning the Seer’s vision regarding the outbreak and progress
• of WW 2 and what the outcome would be, Die Burger (a local newspaper) of 8th July 1940 reported: “In conclusion there is Nicolaas’ prediction about the second Great War between England and Germany. The first part of the prediction is remarkable in that it was already made in 1926, months before his death, by Van Rensburg. It was typed from the original on 2nd February 1940 and in my possession long before Hitler’s offensive in the West, and reads: ‘France and Poland will fight on the side of England. However, Poland will not go far in the war. There will be two great campaigns in France that will determine the war, but not end it. France will pull out.”
• In the future France will experience major racial problems and there will be severe rioting in the streets before civil war breaks out.
• The atomic disaster on April 26 1986 at Chernobyl.
• The divorce and death of a beautiful English Lady, in a car accident that would be mourned by the whole world. Not only did Nicolaas van Rensburg predict the divorce and death of Princess Diana correctly, but also said that the British monarchy would end with Queen Elizabeth. In other words, she would be the last British occupier of the throne. He saw in a vision that the royal house is going to disappear and that there will be no successor to the throne.
• The Rise of Islam.
• Asia devastated by Tsunami.
• England will also suffer terribly when World War III starts. When England’s problems begin, the civil war will erupt in France.
• In 1919, shortly after the end of WW I he said that in the distant future rising tension between America and Russia will result in Turkey, Syria and Iran be drawn into the conflict. The violence and chaos in this area will escalate to such a degree that World War III will be inevitable. This war will start over a dispute about territory and Russia will be involved.
• In a vision he saw Japan will be completely destroyed by earthquakes.

Seer’s Eyewitness Account of WW 3

He said it will start in Europe. Vision: 13th May 1917: “The grass is set alight in Europe with a massive smoke cloud and the fire moves South-west. In the north of Europe a large dam is full of water, but suddenly dries up.and Europe becomes black. War breaks out.

The large dam full of water (financial prosperity or financial aid) dries up and they will no longer be in a position to render assistance to the poorer countries. It also indicates drought and possible causes of the riots will be the critical economic conditions and famine.

“I see the earth is pitch black … Then the earth burst into flames and I see a vision of a terrible war; of horses with blood running from their bridles…”

This vision correlates with John’s description in Revelation 14:20:  “And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles…”

According to the Seer “Russia will rush through Turkey in one day and then onwards to Europe. And he will work with Germany at some time during the war. England will be destroyed.

“The worst will be ‘electric (laser?) beams’ sowing death and destruction above and below; even the soil will be destroyed and few people will remain alive. The Russians storm through Hungary, Yugoslavia, through Austria to Italy to occupy these countries, then through France which supports them en route to Spain where the Spanish put up a fierce resistance before the USA comes to their aid…”
