I thought we aren’t supposed to predict. But he is a tremendous gadol and Talmid chacham so how do we make sense of his words

Well he says techiyas hameisim is going to be in 2030 and moshaich has to come before that

They’re all saying Moshiach is in the streets
Rav Kook a major mekubal and many others.

We’re ready!

Daven and try our best to do teshuva while we can,

That’s amazing, and we are so ready. But again, it didn’t answer my question

Does he give sources to how he calculated it?
Best ask the question directly

I don’t know I didn’t listen to all the speeches, only one where said. As we already discussed we know techiyas hameisim is in 2030.

But again, aren’t we not supposed to predict?

Just... Ask him?

Curious, why do you think us imas will be able to give you an answer to this?

How do I ask him?

And because I think maybe some people are more Knowledgeable than me, or have heard from other Rabbanim.

Good point!
Idk who he is, but sometimes you can find the rov's contact info if they're involved in a yeshiva. Or if their office number is listed in the local. Phone book. Or you can ask around if anyone knows.

Curious if anyone on here has any ideas on how to reach him (or is able to explain what he meant)

You can’t really ask this question if you only heard second hand. You have to listen to the full context and exactly what he said. Was he saying techiyas hameisim could be in 2030? Was he saying it probably will be? Was he saying there are some sources that say this? None of these statements are absolute.

Moshiach is always in the streets waiting to be revealed.

There's no nevuah nowadays & absolutely no one can predict that.

There is a long history of great people confidently making wrong predictions.

So how do I reconcile this with the fact that he is a tremendous Talmid Chacham and a tzadik.
