342. Prophet Isa will return to earth in the final days.

Verse (43:61) says Prophet Esa is a sign of the end days.

Some people argue Prophet Isa who lived 2000 years ago is dead and gone. This argument is proved by this verse.

The truth is when the enemies tried to kill Prophet Isa, Allah raised him up unto Him, and the enemies killed a different person mistaking him to be the prophet.

To know more, please refer to explanation points 93, 101,133, 134, 151, 278, 456.

The fact Prophet Isa thus raised unto the Almighty will be returned to earth in the ultimate days and die here can be found in several hadiths.

This verse serves as a confirmation of the hadiths in this context. When we say something or someone as a sign of doomsday, it needs to expose itself in close proximity to that day.

This verse is a rebuttal of the argument that Prophet Isa was already dead two thousand years ago.
