Episode Eighteen In previous Episodes we illustrated Rambam's inherent definition of Moshiach as the restorer of the Davidic Dynasty in the fullness of the Torah and Mitzvot. This led us to appreciate why he chose to omit other descriptive terms employed by our Sages. In this Episode we will highlight a seeming discrepancy within disparate Maimonidean statements. To achieve satisfying reconciliation, the Rebbe introduces us to a previously established innovation that can naturally clarifies the Rambam's ruling. Ultimately, the fresh application of an old idea further strengthens our thesis, under-girding its veracity and further elucidation the subject! This is the Eighteenth episode in an ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption generally referred to as the Coming of The Messiah (Moshiach).

Episode Thirteen In the previous two episodes we clarified expectation of this anticipated Messianic Redeemer. The legal ruling of Maimonides (Rambam) on is clear: He will not have to make miracles to proves his bona fides. Further addressing this matter, the Rambam seems to overreach, or even conflate disparate issues.

To bolster the question, copious cross-references are introduced to highlight the apparently superfluous nature of Maimonides's surprising conclusion. Here you'll discover how the Non-Miracle method of describing the way we should positively I.D. the real Moshiach, is actually Rambam's way of defining His truest Essence, Purpose and Persona! This is the Thirteenth episode in an ongoing study series on The Geula, our final Redemption generally referred to as the Coming of The Messiah (Moshiach).
