Shraga18:
First, I appreciate your kind words.
Second, while it may be true that what I wrote is “only sevaras”, trying to extrapolate halacha liMaaseh from “pashut pshat” in Navi doesn’t seem like the correct approach.
Here are some more sevaras.
1. We have the Koach HaTefillah, which is above almost all else.
2. “Pashut Pshat in Navi”, without a guaranteed context, seems difficult to apply liMaaseh, unless one has Ruach HaKodesh. Maybe the Holocaust was all that and more, and Mashiach will actually come tomorrow? Who knows?
Given those 2 points, aren’t the “sevaras” at least as persuasive liMaaseh than “pashut pshat in Navi” that is literally wide open to interpretation?
But I do agree that “It would be nice if someone here who has access to a boki beTanach could ask him about this…”
