Does the Rebbe want us to identify him as the final Moshiach?

This is from Sichos In English; Many people use the event of chassidim singing Chaeiley Adonenu Moshiach Zidkeinu to prove that the Rebbe did not want us to identify him as the Moshiach. This beautiful analysis shows that quite the opposite is rally true.

What is the Rebbe's position on identifying him as Moshiach?

         Rabbi Even Yisroel on p. 197-98 cites a  farbrengen from 1991 when the chassidim sang a song identifying the Rebbe as Moshiach, to support his assertion that the Rebbe 'tried to quash all speculation' about his 'Messianic role.'  The author writes that the Rebbe “stopped them quickly and said 'I cannot leave here now, but after hearing such a claim I should leave this room as a protest.'”  (It should be noted that the word ‘protest’ as translated by the author does not appear in the original Yiddish and is an error.) The author neglected to mention that at a 1984 farbrengen when a similar song was song, the Rebbe said that the focus on the identify of Moshiach detracts from the work of bringing Moshiach. To understand the error of Rabbi Even Yisroel, it is necessary to explore these 2 farbrengens.  The 1991 sicha was completely different than the one in 1984. In 1984, the Rebbe was screaming that the publicizing of the Rebbe as Moshiach goes against and stands in the way of spreading Chassidus and pushes people away.  He spoke with a lot of pain and harshness.  Conversely, in the sicha of 1991, the Rebbe did not utter one word in that vein. In fact, the Rebbe was smiling and spoke just a few words in a quiet voice when he said  'you sing this song with these words while I sit here by the table.  . .   I should have walked out. But I won't. . ' There are 2 reasons which were given by the Rebbe which were  left out of the book. The first reason is that 'it is not going to help anyway. The Chassidim are going to continue saying what they are saying.'   The Rebbe smiled when he said that.   Unlike in 1984, there was no anger or talk about  destruction. And the second reason the Rebbe gives is 'I don't want to disturb the sheves achim gam yachad.' It is a farbrengen, there is unity among chassidim. He didn't want to do anything that is going to disturb that unity.   The book did not point out that he most certainly did not say it is wrong, terrible,  or destructive to identify the Rebbe as Moshiach. There was not one word of that nature. All he said is he should have walked out. Because if he is remaining to sit at a public farbrengen while a song identifies him as Moshiach, he is  publicly admitting he agrees with its content. At that time, the Rebbe did not publicly acknowledge this. In other words, it wasn't the time yet for the Rebbe to be publicly acknowledge this.

assessment what would happen if we did that I know some in Washington would
0:24
like to start leaving
0:25
iraq now begin withdrawing before commanders tell us we're ready
0:30
would be dangerous for iraq
0:34
for the region and for the United States
0:38
with me surrender in the future about a rack to al Qaeda
0:42
it mean that we be risking mass killings on a horrific scale
0:47
it would mean we allow the tears to establish a safe haven in Iraq to
0:52
replace
0:53
the when they lost in Afghanistan mean the increasing the probability that
0:58
american troops would have to return at some later date
1:00
to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous while
1:05
mark teason is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and he was
1:08
president bush's chief speechwriter at the time
1:10
he wrote that statement you just heard how
1:14
Erie I mean its point by point
1:18
by point what we are seeing today Mark every single thing
1:22
that President Bush said there in that statement is happening today
1:25
Obama did withdraw our troops before the commanders on the ground said that we
1:29
were ready to do so general awesome want to keep twenty four thousand troops in
1:32
Iraq
1:32
Obama 120 President Bush said that if we did that they will be mass killings on a
1:36
horrific scale what are we seeing
1:37
mass killings on a horrific scale executions women and children being
1:41
buried alive
1:42
crucifixion beheadings an American journalist President Bush said that if
1:46
we
1:46
withdrew before before I we did that we were ready than they would be okay with
1:50
this applique
1:51
al Qaeda in Iraq which is now I says would establish a safe haven
1:54
they now control a swath of territory the size of Belgium
1:58
all these predictions come true and of course we're back there right now all
2:01
that was enough
2:02
strikes that was the one that american troops that that that they would
2:04
increase the probability that american troops would have to return at some
2:07
later date
2:08
to confront an enemy that is even more
2:11
dangerous that it was never you know
2:14
the defenders the administration said look it's it's not that they enjoy a war
2:18
or that they want to keep shedding American blood
2:21
on on at in a bit this soil in Iraq it's that
2:24
we don't have to come back here we've done a lot and we wanna hold onto the
2:28
gains we've had
2:28
that's exactly right and let's keep in mind
2:32
that president but this was during the course of the 2007 surge
2:35
when everyone was saying the search can work we have to withdraw now and he
2:38
really upset about working at the Iraq war was lost
2:41
absolutely and a hillary clinton opposed it because she didn't want to lose the
2:44
presidential primary in Iowa
2:45
so everyone was out there for political purposes saying let's but draw now and
2:49
accept defeat and president bush laid out the consequences a defeat and he
2:53
stuck with it
2:53
the surge worked against a against Ivory protection the experts and al Qaeda in
2:58
Iraq
2:58
ices was defeated they were defeated militarily they were driven from their
3:02
safe havens and they were defeated
3:03
ideologically because the SUNY masses joined American to drive them out when
3:07
they were trying to light grey listening masses to drive us on a Saturday because
3:10
President Obama just yesterday in addressing
3:12
this mess that we're looking at over there seem to put the blame
3:16
on the bush administration here yet because what's happened
3:21
in the vacuum other Syria as well as
3:25
the battle-hardened elements
3:29
and my sis that grew out of al Qaeda in Iraq during the course of the Iraq war
3:33
it's gonna take time for us to be able to roll them back
3:37
about that I he needs to have a little discussion Hillary Clinton
3:41
hillary clinton's the one who said that the back in Syria was caused by him
3:44
doing nothing
3:45
which allowed the hottest the filler and look he I'll Qaeda in Iraq
3:49
I sis was defeated when he took office we had our booth on their necks
3:53
they added that they had been defeated and what he did is he withdrew
3:56
all of our forces which allowed them to regroup and reconstitute itself they
4:00
moved into Syria member present busch said that the chaos it spread to other
4:03
parts the world
4:04
and that's exactly what happened they use that as a recruiting area from which
4:07
you get she had a small over the world and they entered into a rock again
4:10
and that he was being brief for a year on this threat he saw it coming and did
4:14
nothing
4:15
so he's got nobody to blame but himself for this in for the castle were saying
4:17
iraq to
4:18
it's unbelievable to listen to that that sound bite from George W Bush market to
4:22
see tonight

In case you needed a reason to dislike the New York Times




I guess besides the fact that they are anti God and anti Jewish.
