A man who jumped out of taxi on the Sydney Harbour bridge and climbed up one of the arches says he did so to deliver a message from God.

Holding a silver bible in his hand, Adrian Manouel Karibian, 41, stood outside a Sydney court and said the reason he climbed to the top of the bridge last month was to draw attention to a "great tribulation".

Mr Karibian appeared briefly before the Sydney Downing Centre Local Court on Friday after police charged him with enter enclosed lands and climb on any part of bridge.

The court heard he wanted his matter adjourned for four weeks so that he could travel to Nepal.
