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

@querty613. What did the chofetz chaim posken? Please quote source.

Being all of Chazal hold Moshiach can come from living or deceased. It’s not possible to rule Moshiach can come only one way and not the other way. Similar to zochu and loi zachu. It’s not possible to rule only zachu etc….

Lubavitch in essence is saying the exact same as dbei rebbi shiloi Yanai and chanina. That their Rav will be the one to bring the Geula.

Moshiach from the dead is not a second coming. Second coming is not a Jewish concept. Chazal said Moshiach can come from the dead and bring the Geula.

Don’t mix non Jewish philosophy here otherwise some zealot lunatic might start talking about how Rambam said going around clean shaven is the practice of avoda Zara preists etc….

Ie would you like sources and truth or hucking a chinig?

As to why lubavitchers think the Rebbe is Moshiach as posted many times. The rebbe hinted he will be the one to bring the Geula. See sichos of shmois nun bais and mishpatim nun bais where the Rebbe acknowledged we have bchezkas Moshiach. Google rosh Chodesh koslev 5753 when the Rebbe vigorously encouraged the singing of yechi….. So these are just a few reasons why lots of people think the Rebbe is Moshiach…. If you read the sefer u will see such a belief has a strong foundation in Judaism.
