Btw regarding Rav Kanievsky, it’s well known he claimed to have met Moshiach. Having heard that he was a serious Talmid Chacham, Gaon etc I take that at face value. I’m curious if all the scoffers here scoff at their own Rabbi too? And say he must be arrogant and delusional cvs to say such a thing? Or they only scoff when it comes to lubavitch? I don’t think anyone demanded proof or outside sources to prove he want some sort of delusional rasha etc as a few here insinuate.
He said what he said and is up to you to believe him. You believe him if you know him to be a legit person. Same here
Rav Chaim saying he met moshiach is not ‘same here’ to claiming he is moshiach.
