THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
Presence of Allah, however, Christian belief was corrupted and
Christians turned away from the true faith preached by the
Prophet Jesus (as). When the Prophet Jesus (as) returns he will
purify Christianity of those elements that have been corrupted

Jesus (as) at a later date, emphasizing that neither the coming of
the Prophet Jesus (as), nor that of Hazrat Mahdi (as) who would
be contemporaneous with him, had yet taken place in his own
day.

not as "a meaning, a spirit or representative entity."
Bediuzzaman is saying that the dajjal's denial-based efforts
