Reply To: The Five Most Likeliest Candidates to be Moshiach

I have one observation.
If moshiach can be from the dead I would defenitley choose Moshe Rabbeinu or Ezrah or one of the many tannoim over the Rebbe. Even his predecessors the Baal Hatanya or Tzemach Tzedek would come in first. Not to mention the Vilna Gaon.
Why the Rebbe???
This question always mistified me
