== The Lubavitcher Rebbe as King Moshiach ==
''Extended article - [[The Rebbe as Melech HaMoshiach|The Lubavitcher Rebbe as King Moshiach]]''

The Lubavitcher Rebbe is King Moshiach about whom the Torah has promised. This determination is based, among other things, on the Rebbe's own holy talks, for example: 'Moshiach is the successor of [[the Rebbe Rayatz]].' 'King Moshiach operates in the world and we see his actions.' 'The Rebbe is the leader of the generation and the prophet of the generation, and the words about redemption that have descended to the world are words of prophecy that he himself prophesied.' Similarly, there are various expressions by the Rebbe about his father-in-law (whose place the Rebbe filled) that in our generation, the one fit to be Moshiach is "the leader of our generation."

The Rebbe is defined as King Moshiach who will redeem the Jewish people. The recognition of the Rebbe as King Moshiach was published by Chabad rabbis and others in a halachic ruling based on halachic decisions and on the Rebbe's own references to the subject, when he hinted to his chassidim that he is Moshiach and encouraged them to publicize this in various ways.

With the beginning of the revelation of Moshiach, which the Rebbe announced in 5751 (1991), this belief received public expression and the Rebbe even allowed its publication, while encouraging the chassidim's singing: "Yechi Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabbeinu Melech HaMoshiach L'olam Vo'ed" (Long live our master, teacher, and Rebbe, King Moshiach, forever).
