On 1980 while building his "City of Faith" Oral ran into funding shortfalls. He claimed to see a 900 foot Jesus. Did you Pentacostals really find that plausable? A direct quote from the time and verifiable I may add.
May 25, 1980, while overlooking his religious center which was in
financial difficulty:
"`I felt an overwhelming holy presence all around me. When I opened my
eyes, there He stood ... some 900 feet tall, looking at me ... He stood a
full 300 feet taller than the 600-foot-tall City of Faith. There I was
face to face with Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. I have only
seen Jesus once before, but here I was face to face with the King of
kings. He reached down, put his Hands under the City of Faith, lifted it,
and said to me, "See how easy it is for Me to lift it!"'"
"Oral recalled that his eyes filled with tears, and Jesus assured him that
He would speak to the ministry's partners and that the City of Faith
would be finished"
You really buy into this stuff?

Read the bible. King David when he sinned by counting the fighting men, He saw the angel of the Lord standing over Jerusalem with a sword stretched out over the city. Which would have been about 900 ft tall. Also, when 911 happen, there were Christians who saw an angel take his fist and hit the top of the world trade buildings and they crumbled. And you know how tall those buildings were. You missing the point of what what the height means. The height of Christ which Oral Roberts saw represents the greatness, hugeness, and exaltedness of God. Remeber God is not limited to anything. He can be any size He chooses to be. That's why He says nothing is impossible for Him.

maybe it was a 900 millimeter Jesus that was actually a lot closer than he thought.

If he says he saw it then he saw it. I have not reason to believe he lifed.
That does not mean what he saw was real.
