One point that no one seems to have brought up is that if tzaddikim, and in particular the lubavicher rebbe, runs the world, why is it that mashiach has not come?
The fact is that a while before he had his first stroke he said that he had done everything in his power to bring mashiach, and that now it was up to the chassidim. If he “ran the world” then literally EVERYTHING would have been in his power and mashiach would have been here. But I believe that unfortunately he isn’t, even according to all lubavichers.
Also I notice that hml has not replied to my asking for a source that says that “it is incumbent of (sic) every generation to search for Moshiach of their time. Ze hu.”
It’s not as important as my first point above, but it is important to me to know whether we are once again dealing with a lubavicher who can’t admit that he is wrong.
