Reply To: The final word on Moshiach from the meisim (hopefully!)

@ARSo can people on this thread speak to the lamdus of the sefer as it relates to Chazal, rishonim, acharonim and Rambam without speaking about Lubavitch?

As was stated already while the Rebbe was alive they thought Moshiach would come that day. Being they thought the Rebbe is Moshiach they believed Moshiach will be coming from the living. Once the Rebbe died being they still think he is Moshiach they think Moshiach will be coming from the meisim.

That is exactly what is shown in the sefer the yeshivos of Rebbi shiloi Yanai and chanina did. When their rosh yeshiva was alive they said it’s him and obviously Moshiach would be coming from the living. Once their rosh yeshiva died it appears they still said he is the Moshiach therefore they bow believe Moshiach will be coming from the meisim….

Again, can you just speak to the lamdus and state if you agree Moshiach can come from the meisim as long as the candidate spoken of the fit to be Moshiach. Ie a tzadik from bais dovid ( and not a rasha)

@yankel berel in the introduction he speak in detail about rambaN and points out that rambaN rejection of Yoshkela is simply because he claimed to be the Goel Tzedek the Videi Moshiach but died without fulfilling any of the messianic prophecies…. ie the claim about Yoshkela wasn’t that he is fit to be Moshiach. Rather he is already the Ultimate Redeemer. As he explains in introduction.

His book is an indepth analysis into this topic. Just the facts. Ie no manipulations unless of course you are trying to “air your concerns” about chabad without actually mentioning the word chabad.

Again is there anyone who read the sefer that disagrees with the fact Moshiach can come from the meisim?

If there is please be factual and refer to sources.

Otherwise please acknowledge that this sefer is the final word on the topic ( albeit not as it relates to chabad if that makes you happy)
