Born to wonderful, loving, inspiring, Christian parents belonging
to the Dutch Reform Church. Reborn at the age of 16 and received a

with the Jews in Israel after going through a spiritual renewal in
1982 and was baptized in the Spirit and in water early in 1983. |

SA: 1960 - 70

Physiological research on sheep for the SA Dept. of Agriculture
- mostly in semi-desert areas. |
|
SA: 1970 - 72
|
Physiological research on mine workers at the SA Chamber
of Mines |
|
SA: 1973 - 83
|
Senior Scientist at the laboratory animal unit of the SA
Bureau of Standards, testing pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other products
In July 1982 my wife and I were spiritually set on fire during a revival
in the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ in our city, Pretoria. It led
to my discovery that I had a calling on my life. In December that year we
learned that we were called to serve in Israel. |
|
Israel: 1983 - 84
|
In June 1983 we left for Israel with the family, having sold
our house and other possessions since we knew our calling
was open ended. We did volunteer work, mostly at the ICEJ. See Photos
of the trip at Zionsake
Blog |
|
VISION:
|
To
help with the restoration of Israel in line with scriptures that state that
our Elohim was returning his people to their land and that gentiles will
help them - shepherding their sheep, etc. |
|
SA: 1984 - 86
|
Section head of the S.A. Bureau of Standards laboratory animal
unit where I used to work. |
Israel: June -
Aug. 1986
|
We returned to Israel as a family with the plan to stay there
indefinitely, but couldn't find ways to support ourselves, and had to return
to SA after two months. The Lord showed me in a dream that we would spend
four years in the desert before we would be able to return to Israel - vs.
40 of Israel for not making it. |
|
SA: 1986 - 90
|
Technical advisor at the SA Meat Board (animal welfare, meat
condemnations and statistics thereof, etc.- here I became computer literate
by means of hands-on self-study). In 1989 we we bought our
first computer for family use. It was a frustrating time of exile
from Israel for me (not for Marie or the kids, but I
received a word about ample rewards I would eventually receive in Israel
in May 1987, that kept me going. On 10 December 1987 disaster struck
when Ockie was killed at age 17 when he was hit by a car at an
intersection. |
|
Israel: 1990 - 91
|
The four years had passed and we were invited to work
at the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ), that provided
us with funding to develop and manage an interior design company, Dream
Collections, that manufactured custom designed curtains, quilted bedspreads,
etc. Marie was the interior designer. The aim of the project was
to employ new immigrants from the former Soviet Union - we employed 3 immigrants.
The Financial Director of the ICEJ promised me that the
company would become ours when it became profitable.
See a photo of the
Quilting Machine.
Unfortunately, Marie lost interest in our calling and in our marriage,
that caused us to have to return to South Africa (in shame) where she
filed for divorce. It fulfilled a word the Lord had given me: "You have
been set aside." True to this word, no doors to work were opened
to me in SA because my calling was to Israel |
|
Israel: 1992 - 95
|
Soon after the divorce I managed to
return to Israel and found volunteer work on a sheep &
goat dairy farm at Tzipori near Nazareth. My tasks included feeding, machine
milking, cleaning and maintenance, especially welding. See
Farmwork for pictures.
It was a time of immense emotional strain due to the loss of
my wife and the destruction of my life and the opportunity
the Lord had given us to establish ourselves in Israel. I therefore
tried desperately to fulfill the Lord's promise of a rewarding life
in Israel. It was a big mistake, since the promises had to do with the
fulfillment of prophecies in the distant future - as I only
discovered years later. |
|
VISION:
|
To
establish a career in publishing on the internet. |
|
Israel: 1995 - 96
|
I moved from the farm to try to do something
for myself, but had to opt for working at a hostel
- at first as a night watchman and later in reception.
I Developed a bed/cash receipt spreadsheet system for my own use. All that
I could manage to advance my own plans was to set up an account with an Internet
Service Provider (ISP). However, my old portable computer didn't
have enough memory to run a Windows web browser. |
|
Israel: 1996 - 97
|
After a brief spell back in SA, I returned to Israel
in Oct. '96 and found work in computing at
The
Galilee Experience in Tiberias. My main task was to set up
a database of contacts in MS Access. In March '97, however, the Lord took
me back to SA. |
|
SA: 1997 - 98
|
I lived as before with my childhood friend and brother
Freek Tomlinson. The reason for my return turned out to be to
enable me to learn how to create websites. I had to do
it the hard way, though, due to a lack of funds, namely by studying
a 400 page. When that was done, I was nevertheless able to attend
an one and a half hour workshop. It enabled me fulfil my dream to publish
online on my own websites. |
|
Israel Nov. 98
|
Soon after I had arrived back in Israel, equipped to do web
and computer work for ministries, the Lord changed my ministry to
OBSERVE (fulfillment of prophecy) from serving and helping with
restoration in the past. |

Israel: Jan. 1999 - May 2001

VISION:
|
To
create wealth and progress in Israel by means of projects hosted by Holy
Land Inc. as a means to prepare a refuge for Jewish and Christian refugees
from the nations. |
|
Israel: July 2001
|
Work for Biblical Resources (BR), Ein Kerem , Jerusalem;
at first as a handyman, eventually "the cook" (of "Biblical meals" for tourists)
plus eventually, re-doing and maintaining their website, including setting
up a shopping cart system via PayPal that earned them thousands of US dollars
- not functioning anymore, The website does not exist anymore, but
I did an online tour of their biblical garden that I have posted to my
Scripture Keywords site.
(All the time also keeping up with my political and spiritual observations
and publishing information.) |
|
VISION:
|
That
the destruction of Damascus, as in Isaiah 17, that many prophecy watchers
had been saying was still to happen, was at hand. My whole perspective
became based on the fulfillment of Isaiah 17 - because it
was going to enable Israel to recapture the east bank of the Jordan River
since it would also include Aroer, that is located in Jordan. I realized
that it would enable the Lord to bring back all the Jews in the world,
plus "Others," probably Christian Zionists. It would also lead to the restoration
of the Dynasty of king David in preparation for the return of the
ultimate David, Yeshua HaMashiach. |
USA: Aug.
- Nov. 2003
|
I visited my son Jorik in America after not seeing him for
5 years, to meet his wife, Catherine and their two children, Leah & Ethan.
During this time I received a vision to resettle recaptured Israeli land
and accommodate Christian refugees from the nations by means of setting
up campsites |
|
VISION:
|
Renewable energy became a central part of my vision for Israel and
I decided to incorporate it in my camping project; campsites and communities
run on other forms of energy than fossil fuel. |
Israel: Dec.
2003 -
Nov. 2004
|
My cooking job had been taken and I had to live in faith
most of the year, doing websites for people at times for a bed. It was
nevertheless a very meaningful time in that I could develop a business
plan for the camping vision. See
http://holyland-camping.
In another project with fellow South African, Koos Huizer,
the concept and website "Highways to Jerusalem" was established
(setting up tabernacles on the way to Jerusalem and connecting them to form
routes that could facilitate immigration and even escape of Zionist refugees
from the nations to Israel - See
http://highways-to-jlm.)
I could also live with my friend George Grispos for some months, that enabled
me to do a lot of web work. |
Israel: Dec. 2004
- June 2005
|
I got my job back at the Biblical Garden in Ein Kerem and
again cooked the biblical meal, while also keeping up my own assignment of
"observing" and reporting. |
Israel: July 2005
- Nov. 2006
|
The Biblical Garden in Ein Kerem closed and I moved to a
little room in a Muslim Arab hostel with my computer working 14 - 16 hours
a day updating websites, publishing articles and importantly, publshed a
summary of the book,
Mystery
Babylon the Great. In November the money from my last job ran out.
From then I needed to live in faith, camping (3 months), living with my friend
George Grispos (5 months, still able to work on websites and expand
my presence on the internet because I was online all the time), living in
hostels with financial help from my son Jorik (a
professional
photographer) and my friend Vince Stuker (a
freelance guide in Jerusalem).
Being a biological scientist the advances in organic living and renewable
energy greatly interested me and I decided to combine the camping project
with especially renewable energy.
I was led to find a storeroom that could serve as an office, workshop
and living quarters at a semi-industrial agricultural center at Moshav Kfar
Rut. When I tried to raise capital to be able to rent it, however, the Lord
said, "Not before the bubble bursts." That was of the lifestyles of
family, friends, contacts and about 60,000 people who had visited my websites
at that time. It caused me to keep on living at different streams like Elijah,
mostly camping. |
Israel: Dec.2006
- Aug. 2008
|
I camped in free secret places (for my safety) for most of
the second half of 2006. While I was doing that, my friend Harry Wilsenach
managed to track me down in December 2006. He and his wife, Ida, started
helping me financially to enable me to rent living quarters at a cost slightly
more than that of a paid camping site. They helped me
to buy a second hand computer as well. I was online all the
time and could keep up with news about Israel and the world,
developments in renewable energy, build networks and publish on blogs, etc.
In June 2008 I started helping my cousin Jean, a psychiatrist in Canada to
set up his practice online. |
|
VISION:
|
I
became convinced that there are millions more Jews in the world than what
we know of. This includes millions of people, like my family, who had lost
their Jewishness due to the Roman Catholic Inquisition in Spain & Portugal
and persecution of Protestants in England, France, etc. |
|
Israel: Sept. 2008>
|
The Lord's word was fulfilled that I would be able to
get funding to rent a place in the Kfar Rut hothouse semi-industrial
area "when the bubble bursts" - to serve as an office
and living quarters. There was also an area where I could
erect a shelter to serve as a workshop and experiment
with renewable energy. The bubble that had burst, was
the crashing of the US and European banks. It wasn't for the
reason I was waiting for, namely a
war between Israel, Syria, Hizballah and Jordan that would
cause the Muslims in the nations to erupt in violence when
they see that their brothers in the ME had been defeated.
That was still to come on top of the economic collapse. I was
able to pay for the more expensive place from payment I
had received from my cousin Jean for my web mastering
work for him. |
ULTIMATE VISION: |
Noah's
word, "Japheth will live in the tents of Shem" - a 180º turn
around from the present situation , plus the word in Jer. 30:11
that all the Jews will be sifted from the nations and that nations are
going to be destroyed, became central in my vision. Nations are going to
be destroyed completely as in the time of Noah, but Israel not altogether.
Consequently Israel is going to be an ARK to save a remnant of Jews
and OTHERS from the nations who manage to reach it.
It has become my URGENT message to whoever
would listen! |
| To the glory of the God of Israel.
