CS, neither you nor anyone else has responded to the following “problem” that I have mentioned at least twice:

“…the explicit Rambam that says that whoever claims that Mashiach will not descend from Shlomo Hamelech is a kofer Bashem c”v, and the yichus of the Maharal (once again, there is no proof that the L rebbe was ben achar ben to him) was through the Nesi’im in E”Y who were descended, the gemoro tells us, from Shefatya, Shlomo Hamelech’s brother.”

Another thing. You wrote: “Also the Zohar says there’s an extension of Moshe in every generation.”

Many seforim quote the Zohar as saying that there is an ispahstusa deMoshe in each generation “בכל נפשא ונפשא”, i.e. in every Yid in every generation. Sure I believe that in tzaddikim the ispashtusa is either stronger or “closer to the surface”, but we all have it in us, not just one person in each generation.
