Regarding the doubts that will be aroused in the time of Moshiach, we have found in the Gemara (Nidda 70b) that people will ask Moshe and Aharon. The specific point here is thatpeople will ask Moshe and Aharon regarding “matters learned by tradition,” “words of kabbala,” received according to oral transmission, dating back to Moshe Rabbeinu, “halacha to Moshe from Sinai” – whether they were received from Sinai or not. However, that which is learned from Torah law, “by one of the
rules through which the Torah is derived,” since this depends upon the majority ruling of the Great Rabbinical Court – “after the majority” – clarifying the matter with Moshe Rabbeinu won’t help, nor with Moshe and Aharon, as they are only two. Rather, there is a need for a majority decision by the Great Rabbinical Court of seventy-one judges.
