CS: “The Rebbe told everyone who asked there’s nothing to fear and you should not leave EY, and indeed the war turned out the way the Rebbe said.”
That is not true for two reasons that even I know of.
1. R Chaim Kanievsky also said nothing will happen, and he had a note on his door “I did not seal a room”. There were also others who predicted that no great damage will be done.
2. The Lubavicher rebbe clearly said that NOT ONE YID will be killed (maybe he said harmed, but let’s leave it at killed) and one Yid was R”L killed due to a scud missile attack. Actually, I just looked it up and I discovered that the official Israeli tally is TWO people killed by missiles and another at least 11 others through various side issues, such as gas masks being incorrectly worn, heart attacks and incorrect use of atropine (which was to be used in cases of poison gas). So not only was it not nevuah, it was not even correct. Unless you want to say that when he said that not one Yid will be killed, he mean that there will be more than one 🙂
If you look in the last perek of Hilchos Yesodei Hatorah in the Rambam – the favorite sefer used by Lubavich to “prove” that their rebbe is Mashiach – you will find the following:
אומרים לו אם נביא אתה אמור דברים העתידים להיות והוא אומר ואנו מחכים לראות היבואו דבריו אם לא יבואו, ואפילו נפל דבר קטן בידוע שהוא נביא שקר, ואם באו דבריו כולן יהיה בעינינו נאמן
So even if “a small matter” – I personally do not consider Yidden being killed R”L a small matter – he is a false novi!
Furthermore, in the next halacha the Rambam writes:
אומרים לו אם נביא אתה אמור דברים העתידים להיות והוא אומר ואנו מחכים לראות היבואו דבריו אם לא יבואו, ואפילו נפל דבר קטן בידוע שהוא נביא שקר, ואם באו דבריו כולן יהיה בעינינו נאמן
So even had his prediction re the Gulf War been correct (which, I reiterate, it wasn’t) that is not enough to consider him a navi.
