Man Who Claims He Spent 18 Days in Heaven Says Jesus Was 6ft Tall and Had 'Testosterone Like a Mustang'

A man who claims he spent 18 days in heaven after what he describes as a near-fatal electric skateboard accident has offered an unusually vivid description of Jesus — right down to his height, eyes and apparent testosterone levels.

Gabe Poirot, a Christian pastor and YouTuber,previously made headlines after claiming he encountered Jesus while unconscious following a serious electric skateboard accident in his early twenties. Now, his description of exactly what Jesus supposedly looked like has drawn fresh attention online.

During an interview with Fox News, Poirot said Jesus stood around 5 ft 11 in to 6 ft tall, but somehow appeared 'as tall as eternity.' He also described him as 'pure fire,' with eyes that appeared to burn white and red at the same time.

Then came perhaps his most memorable description: 'Talk about testosterone, like a Mustang.'

But what exactly did Poirot mean — and what else does he claim he experienced during those 18 days?

Why Does He Say Jesus Had 'Testosterone Like a Mustang'?

Poirot's remark came as he argued that popular culture has misrepresented Jesus as a soft or passive figure.

'Jesus is a man,' he said, before describing the figure he claims to have encountered as a lion who was not angry at him, but 'angry for' him and 'a Mustang on my behalf.'

Asked what Jesus looked like, Poirot described the 5 ft 11 in to 6 ft figure as an 'ocean of love,' despite his fiery eyes.

The Mustang comparison then returned. Poirot said Jesus had 'testosterone, like a Mustang' and called him the 'Lion of Judah,' adding that there was a 'roar within his voice.'

he description appears intended to convey masculinity, strength and intensity, rather than a literal claim about Jesus' hormone levels.

What Does Poirot Mean by '18 Days in Heaven'?

The '18 days' in Poirot's story refers to the period he says he spent unconscious following a serious electric skateboard accident when he was 20.

Poirot suffered a traumatic brain injury and was placed in a medically induced coma. He has since claimed that while his body remained unconscious, he left it and eventually encountered Jesus in what he describes as the 'third heaven.'

However, Poirot has said the encounter itself did not feel anything close to 18 days.

In another interview, he estimated his experience in heaven felt like around 'a minute and a half,' explaining that he believes time does not operate there as it does on Earth.

What Else Does Poirot Claim He Saw in Heaven?

A 6 ft Jesus is far from the only striking detail in Poirot's account.

He has described heaven as a living city rather than simply a physical destination, with Jesus at its centre. Mountains, trees, rivers and even grains of sand, he claimed, joined in singing 'Worthy is the Lamb.'

Poirot also claims he witnessed the prayers being made for him back on Earth.

He has described seeing those prayers form bridges and go 'right into the heart of Christ,' and believes they ultimately played a role in sending him back to his body.

In another telling of the experience, Poirot said Jesus showed him prayers being gathered and presented to God before telling him: 'Gabriel, your time is not up.'

What Are People Saying About His Claims?

Not everyone is convinced.

One X user who identified themselves as Christian questioned Poirot's story, joking about God realising he had misread Poirot's 'death date' before sending him back. Another simply alleged: 'His stories change constantly.'

Others found humour in the Mustang description, with one joking: 'Ssoo ...Jesus is a 6-foot mustang?'

On Reddit, sceptics questioned whether the experience could instead have been related to his medical condition. One commenter asked why people could not simply accept that comas can produce 'wild dreams.'

Poirot's descriptions of heaven and Jesus remain personal religious testimony that cannot be independently verified.

For Poirot, however, the experience has continued to shape how he speaks about his faith, even as his extraordinary claims draw both fascination and scepticism online.
