Reply To: Moshiach is coming this year!

” After his passing the probability of his being Moshiach is obviously lower”
Why, may I ask? Perhaps you are not aware of the Gemara in Sanhedrin 98b or Yerushalmi Brachos halachah 5
Or the sefer Yeshuos Meshicho, where the Abarbanel paskens that moshiach is just as likely to come from the dead as if he is to come from the living. Perhaps I should also remind you that, in the sefer Kerem Yisroel, it is written by R’ Yisroel of Ruzhin’s son that we should continue to believe his father to be Moshiach even after his passing.

Perhaps I should also refer you Sdei Chemed maareches 1, os 70
