Smag says clearly that there is no nevu’a untill elyahu hanavi.
He talks about nevu’a as chazal call it such.
That hazal type of nevu’a does not exist anymore .
That hazal type of nevu’a [again] has clear and dramatic halachik ramifications.
For example –
1] a navi needs to tested .
if he fails the test , even by a hairsbreath , he is halachically considered a navi sheker .
And hayav be mitat beit din .
2] if he is a navi emet , any jew not listening to him is hayav mitah biyedei shamayim,
not something to be trifled with.

Now lets face it – what type of navi did the late leader of habad claim to be , in his sicha of shoftim [5751] ?
The hazal type of navi ?
or the imitation of the hazal type of navi ?
I am under the impression that habad would answer this last question always differently .
Depending on the audience …..
For themselves , for their pnimi chinuch and own adherents they would say – this is the hazal type of nevu’a
But when confronted with ‘outsiders’ posing this very same question , the answer is , no this not the the real hazal type of nevu’a
