“See Sefer Meiras Einayim 23:1 ”
Can you please be more specific? I don’t know which Sefer Meiras Einayim you mean – there are many with that name – and I couldn’t find 23:1 in any of them.
Re being chosen.
I suppose it’s true that once someone is “chosen” there’s no point in seeing who is a better candidate, but who gives us the right to decide someone is chosen? Didn’t the Rambam set out his criteria precisely for that reason, i.e. so that we can know who is bechezkas Mashiach and supposedly chosen?
I have what to say on some of the stuff you wrote, but I don’t have time now. Hope to get to it later b’ezras Hashem.
