The question

Do verses 33 of Surah Maryam, 46 of Al Imran, and 110 of Al-Ma'idah indicate glad tidings of the return of the Messiah, peace be upon him, based on the fact that he did not reach old age in his first life, and that the speech of an ordinary old man is not considered a miracle, and that the peace of his birth and his salvation from death were miracles?

The answer

The descent of Jesus (peace be upon him) is one of the major signs of the Hour. The verse: "And peace be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I am resurrected alive" refers to his resurrection alive in the Hereafter. As for the verse: "And he will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity," some scholars have used it as evidence for his descent, as he spoke to them in the cradle, and his speaking in maturity will be when Allah Almighty sends him down from heaven in the form of a man thirty-three years old. The questioner's statement about his death after his salvation from being killed—if he means death—contradicts the preponderant opinion of the scholars regarding the ascension of Jesus (peace be upon him) alive.
