ujm > Now never mind how R. Teichtel decided he can judge the world and decide whether they deserve Moshiach or not;

thanks for extend quotes from the book as well as your commentary. I think you under-estimating impact of the tragic events that were happening at the time – you dismiss them as irrelevant to halakha. Instead, maybe give credit to someone who was responding to events in real time, whether he was always correct or not, in your opinion.

From what you quote, obviously, he is talking from the position of these events that Munkachever, and many others, did not fully foresee. For an example, when R Yochanan b Zakai establishes Yavne – is he contradicting his teachers who upheld Yerushalaim, just because of a little fact that Romans destroyed the latter? same here, he is trying to interpret his Rebbe in light of the events.
