The Rambam write in his Igeres Teiman writing (based on a prophecy of Bilam) that prophecy will return to Israel in the year 4976 (=1216). And also that nevuah will return, and he said that without a doubt this will be the preface to coming of Mashiach, I don't think he conditioned it on who will be in Israel at the time

He also describes 11 degrees of prophecy, so it's not so simple - Nevuah is different than Ruach HaKodes, for instance.

But the Rambam was not a navi, this was only his opinion, not a prophecy.

Also if things are going to be the way they were, we can't have nevuah without a Sanhedrin, which was the body which certified someone claiming to be a navi, after testing him.

Shoshanna



Probably Rambam (Maimonides), although I'd have to look it up. If anyone has
any references, go ahead and answer, but please let's NOT let this turn into
a theological debate.
