I want to explain why the Lubavitcher can’t be moshiach and to answer some questions Lubavitchers asked earlier. someone asked what’s the problem to say he’s moshiach if in the גמ׳ we find that תלמידים darshined פסוקים about משיח to be talking about their rebbes The difference is that they Said that their rebbe was the משיח שבדור that if the דור would be ראוי then their rebbe will become משיח Chabad however says their “rebbe” is already בחזקת מלך המשיח and that’s אפיקרסות because he doesn’t have the סימנים of משיח as brought down in the rambam. Another thing is that even someone who was בחזקת משיח the רמב״ם says that if he fails at one point his חזקה is בטול ומבוטל and we know for certain that he’s not משיח. the “rebbe” failed obviously to bring the גאולה because he is dead if that doesn’t count for ״לא הצליח״ then what does. And the רמב״ן also said in his ויכוחים that you can’t say משיח came and then died. This that their is a גמ׳ that says משיח could come from the dead and it could be דניאל is not a סתירה ח״ו because it’s not talking about a “second coming” rather a ״first coming״ and it’s not saying that דניאל is בחזקת משיח and will come back to finish the job it’s just Saying that all tough he doesn’t fit the סימנים for משיח and he wasn’t yet crowned and as of now he is not משיח but if the דור is ראוי he is one of the potential people who could become משיח
