According to his student Rabbi Meir Plotkin, it was clear to him that the Rebbe is King Moshiach. When he asked his teacher: What did you see in the Rebbe that you didn't see in anyone else? Rabbi Hirschprung replied: There are two things that make the Rebbe unique, and there is no one like him. 1) His Torah study. 2) Leader of the generation. And I tell you that there is no one like him, not only in our generation but also in previous generations. I was with Rabbi Meir Shapiro in Lublin, with Rabbi Menachem Zemba, and all the geniuses of the previous generation, and I didn't find one who resembles the Rebbe's greatness in all areas of Torah. And it's unnecessary to elaborate on his leadership... He is the only one about whom it can be said that he is presumed to be Moshiach. | According to his student [[Rabbi Meir Plotkin]], it was clear to him that the Rebbe is King Moshiach.

In his Shabbat HaGadol sermon after the 27th of Adar 1992, almost half of his sermon revolved around the fact that the head of the Jewish people was ill. He expanded on the topic of the head of the Jewish people, and said that every Jew needs the Rebbe healthy, because he and only he is the leader of the generation. With tears in his eyes, the scholar cried to heaven and aroused the congregation, which was mostly composed of Lithuanian Jews, to pray for the Rebbe's recovery. | In his Shabbat HaGadol sermon after the 27th of Adar 1992, almost half of his sermon revolved around the fact that the head of the Jewish people was ill.
