Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

Finally to get to YR (and by extension RSo) post1:

Instead of posting and replying directly to your latest post, YR, I will share what I have learned and feel free to explore that. If there is anything after you feel has not been addressed, then ask and I’ll do my best if I can.

Here goes:

The Bartenura writes on Megillas Rus, “In every generation, someone is born of the descendants of Yehuda who is worthy of being the Moshiach of Yisrael.”

Similarly, the Chasam Sofer writes (shu”t chas”S cho”m chelek 6, towards the end siman 98) “There is one who is fitting due to his righteousness to be the goel, and when the time comes, Hashem will reveal Himself to him and send him.”

Truth to be told, this could be learned from the halachos of the Rambam himself when he defines who we can consider to be a candidate for Moshiach, ie bchezkas Moshiach, and who we should consider to be certainly Moshiach, MOshiach Vadai.

The fact this is halacha shows us that we should be looking out to identify such a person and that it is normal and a good thing to do so, This has in fact been the case throughout history where various students claimed their teachers were worthy of being Moshiach.
