I think by “this thread is getting stupid,” you mean that you don’t have an answer to the taanos posted here.

There are different opinions among baalei machshava and mekubalim about when techias hamaysim happens; some hold it can – but not necessarily will – happen before, as the abarbanel writes, but most hold it happens after, including the rambam, who says that the entire point of techias hamaysim is that the maysim get to see moshiach. The ramban also agrees that it is after, but argues about what will actually happen; the ramban holds that the body which returns(for all tzadikim) will be very spiritual, like adam kodem hachait, and will live forever. The rambam holds it will live and die like a regular human.

If we don’t know the sugya, please explain it, because all I’ve seen so far is likutei sichos, which I’m not interested to read, snd misquotes from chabad seforim, and a zohar which can be understood many ways, as evidenced by the machlokes among mekubalim.
