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

“Rav Aharon Feldman has written* that even if it’s not problematic to consider a dead
person to be Moshiach who will return, it cannot be considered sensible to believe
that out of all the niftarim of Klal Yisrael, Moshiach will be the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

*in The Eye of the Storm”

I completely understand that. And I don’t think it’s necessarily worth rebutting even though I know for myself why that’s not the case.

To give you an example: I have a yid I’m in contact with who unfortunately doesn’t yet keep shabbos. Once I broached the topic with her and she explained to me that she needs her job because she needs to pay her rent and bills, and if she quits her job who will pay her rent?! It doesn’t make sense.

Is her logic sound? Yes. Do I agree with her? No. But that’s because I have a different mindframe which includes living above nature, Hashem’s abilities etc. But she’s not there. So all I can do (aside for offering to fundraise around for her rent if she takes the step) is draw her closer until she gets there…
