Chabd,

“it says Yilchom- as in present ongoing tense”

Yes. I know that is how all Meshichists try to imply the pshat as to fit into their agenda.

However, אם עשה והצליח ובנה מקדש במקומו וקבץ נדחי ישראל הרי זה משיח בודאי applies to the last conditions of bes Hamikdash as Vadai” – NOT on the above “chezkas” Chezkas needs to be accomplished in fully as in ולחזק בדקה.

What amazes me is how a highly sensitive issue like Mosheach can be decided by a few individuals and “kvetches/twists” in a Rambam!

An issue like this should have been decided by the true Gadolei V’Poskie Hador.

Just to illustrate how twisted the Pshat is I will quote the MABI”T on Rambam how he understands the Rambam:

קרית ספר of the Mabit:

אין מלך המשיח צריך לעשות אותות ומופתים אלא כשיעמוד מלך מבית דוד הוגה בתורה ועוסק במצותיה וכופה את ישראל לעשות כן ולוחם מלחמות ה׳ -ועושה ומצליח– הרי זה בחזקת משיח

It says clearly ועושה ומצליח– הרי זה בחזקת משיח i.e. that ONLY IF it has been fully accomplished. Case Closed!
