>>>Nevuah stopped with chaggai zecharya and malachi – Sanhedrin 11a. It means it’s gone. It will return when moshiach comes.

This is a beautiful example of the ridiculous derech halimmud that people are using to attack the Rebbe.

Do you really think that the Rebbe gave a ten page pilpul on nevuah nowadays without mentioning this Gemara? Of course not! The entire sicha surrounds diyukim on this gemara and the Rambam etc.

You have no time to learn the Torah of those who you “don’t hold of”, but you have plenty of time to bash random lines from their pilpulim without looking into their basis and proofs.
This is even worse than learning lekanter, because then at least you’re learning what he has to say in order to shlog it up. Over here however, you completely ignore his entire shakla v’tarya!

Imagine opening a Reb Chaim, taking out a line from his chiddush, and claiming that it “goes against a b’feirusheh Gemara”, when that very gemara is the subject of his entire pilpul!

As I wrote earlier, there is no point of answering every single “taana” on the Rebbe’s sichos, because that would be like answering every question on Reb Chaim to someone who never opened a Reb Chaim.

Regarding nevua, see what the Rebbe explains AT LENGTH in Likkutei Sichos vol. 14 pg. 72 and on. Sefer Hasichos 5751 vol. 2 pg. 787 and on.

P.S. In addition to misunderstanding the Rebbe, you misquoted the Rambam as well (if that’s who you were quoting when writing “It will return when Moshiach comes.”)
The Rambam writes in Iggeres Teiman: ואין ספק שחזרת הנבואה היא הקדמת משיח – the return of nevuah is a PREPARATION for Moshiach.
