My experience skydiving with Sydney Skydivers
September 3, 2018
I’ve always wanted to try skydiving, so when presented the chance, I jumped at it (along with my family!) We chose Sydney Skydivers because it was the nearest skydive spot (only an hour from the city), plus it promised views of the coast, Blue Mountains and Sydney City Skyline. To be honest though, they all looked the same to me from way up there!
PRO TIPS:
#1 Do the morning trip – that way, you’ll be back in the city by noon time!
#2 Get the video package, it’s worth it! The freefall itself lasts for <1 minute, and the rest is just you calmly parachuting downwards. Everything happens very very quickly, and I realized once I landed… I could barely remember a thing! Good thing I had the video as a reminder…
#3 Try to get an instructor who’s good at handling the camera. Essentially what happened was – in my family of five, my dad and brother’s video and photos were ALL AMAZING. Their instructor knew just where to position their hands to ensure they got the best shots, while the video and photos of me, my mom, and my sister were just so-so. We got maybe 1-2 good shots, and the rest were meh.
Best way to determine if the guy knows his stuff? Ask him how many times he’s done this jump before!
#4 if you’re booking for less than 6, book online – as they provide pretty good discounts! If you’re a group of 6 and above (and willing to risk not getting a slot), you can head on over to their office at Elizabeth Street to ask for a group discount!
NOTE: My family paid AUD 378 per person (group of 5). If we were 6, we could’ve gotten it for AUD 328 per person! Huhu AUD 50 discount per person – such a shame!
At the end of the day, I probably wouldn’t pay that much money to skydive again. I have to admit though – it was a great once-in-a-lifetime experience!!! Woo, what an adrenaline rush! Hope this helps you decide whether you want to go on a skydiving adventure of your own!

Hey, how’s it going?
I want to pass along some very important news that everyone needs to hear!
In December of 2017, Donald Trump made history by recognizing Jerusalem as the captial of Israel. Why is this big news? Because by this the Jewish people of Israel are now able to press forward in bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible.
Jewish Rabbis have publicly announced that their Messiah will be revealed in the coming years who will be a leader and spiritual guide to all nations, gathering all religions under the worship of one God. They deny Jesus as their Messiah, and the Bible tells us this Jewish Messiah will be the counterfiet that will bring about a false peace, and ultimatley the great tribulation.
They even printed a coin to raise money for the Temple with Donald Trumps face on the front and with king Cyrus'(who built the second Temple) behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the third Temple.
More importantly, the power that runs the world wants to put a RFID microchip in our body making us total slaves to them. This chip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically in Revelation 13:16-18:
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. This Mark couldn’t be spiritual because the word references two different physical locations. If it was spiritual it would just say in the forehead. RFID microchip implant technology will be the future of a one world cashless society containing digital currency. It will be implanted in the right-hand or the forehead, and we cannot buy or sell without it! We must grow strong in Jesus. AT ALL COSTS, DO NOT TAKE IT!
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).
People have been saying the end is coming for many years, but we needed two key things. One, the Third Temple, and two, the technology for a cashless society to fulfill the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.

If you haven’t already, it is time to seek God with all your heart. Jesus loves you more than you could imagine. He wants to have a relationship with you and redeem you from your sins. Turn to Him and repent while there is still hope! God bless!
