Reply To: The final word on Moshiach from the meisim (hopefully!)

@5783 the Gemara in Sukah daf 52 says no such thing about a Chezkas Moshiach that dies.

If you read the Sefer you will see in the introduction that a Chezkas Moshiach is the same as a “fit to be moshiach” except he now has halachic recognition and status that he WILL be the one to be the Goel Tzedek. Chexkas Moshiach hasnt even begun to fulfill the messianic prophecies.

The Gemara you quote about requesting LIFE (and many other) are all talking about the Goel Tzedek when he is going about his messianic mission to fulfill all the Yiudim.

When Rav said Moshiach can come from the dead no one, in the gemara (nor Mefarshim) argued as noted in the Kuntres Shmoi Shel Moshiach. As the gemara above in Sukah and other such maamarie Chazal are talking about a different Geder. Rav and the Gemara in Sanhedrin 98b are talking about the Geder of Fit to be moshiach ALL hold Moshiach can come from the living and ALL hold he can come from the meisim. The other places are talking about the Goel Tzedek so there is no contradiction. as exlplained in the intorduction and throughout the sefer. you might do well to actually read it.
