Bava Basra 012: Nevu'ah

df asked:

http://www.dafyomi.co.il/bbasra/insites/bb-dt-012.htm

Regarding Nevuah being taken away -- the insites begins by talking about Nevuah 
but ends talking about Ruach HaKodesh. We know from the Gemara in Megilah and 
the inyan of Sfarim Mtameh Es HaYadayim, that there is a difference.  Which one 
is it?  Thanks, 

DF, bklyn

The Kollel replies:

Good Diyuk. The Insights to which you refer state:
 
(b) The RAMBAN therefore gives a different explanation for the Gemara. He 
asserts that all Nevi'im certainly were Chachamim, as the Gemara in Nedarim 
says. When the Gemara here says that Nevu'ah was taken away from the prophets 
but not from the Chachamim, it means that the Nevu'ah of the sort that comes to 
a person in a prophetic vision was taken away, but not the type of Nevu'ah that 
a person has through Chochmah, wisdom. Even though they no longer are able to 
have prophetic visions, the Chachamim are still able to achieve knowledge of 
the truth through the Ru'ach ha'Kodesh that rests upon them. (See also CHASAM 
SOFER and YA'AVETZ here.) (I. Alsheich)

The last line of that paragraph, which mentions "Ru'ach ha'Kodesh," is a 
translation of the words of the Ramban. The Ramban apparently uses the term 
"Ru'ach ha'Kodesh" in order to distinguish between the type of Nevu'ah which a 
Navi receives, and the type of "knowledge of the truth" which the Chachamim 
have. See the Ramban inside.
