وَقَوْلِهِمْ إِنَّا قَتَلْنَا الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ وَمَا صَلَبُوهُ وَلَٰكِن شُبِّهَ لَهُمْ وَإِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِلَّا اتِّبَاعَ الظَّنِّ وَمَا قَتَلُوهُ يَقِينًا
بَل رَّفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا
وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا
And for their saying, "Indeed, we killed the Messiah, Isa, son (of) Maryam, (the) Messenger (of) Allah." And not they killed him and not they crucified him but it was made to appear (so) to them. And indeed, those who differ in it (are) surely in doubt about it. Not for them about it [of] (any) knowledge except (the) following (of) assumption. And not they killed him, certainly. Nay, Allah raised him towards Him. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. And (there is) not from (the) People (of) the Book but surely he believes in him before his death. And (on the) Day (of) the Resurrection he will be against them a witness.
The Quran 4:157 is clear that they neither killed nor crucified Jesus.
The Quran 3:33
The Quran 3:33
إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَىٰ آدَمَ وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Nuh, and (the) family (of) Ibrahim and (the) family (of) Imran over the worlds.
Since, according to the Quran 3:33, the Family of Imran is the chosen one, then it is only logical to expect the son of the Virgin Mary to return as the saviour. For my understanding of virgin birth, please read: http://signsandscience.blogspot.com/2015/10/virgin-birth.html
وَإِذَا وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَابَّةً مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا بِآيَاتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ
And when (is) fulfilled the word against them, We will bring forth for them a creature from the earth speaking to them, that the people were, of Our Signs, not certain.
As the Quran 27:82 warns of the emergence of the Beast as a result of the disbelief of the people, the extra-Quranic expectation of the arrival of Imam Mahdi and Jesus seems the more plausible.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا أَنْ أَخْرِجْ قَوْمَكَ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَذَكِّرْهُم بِأَيَّامِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ
And verily We sent Musa with Our Signs, that "Bring out your people from the darkness[es] to the light. And remind them of the days (of) Allah." Indeed, in that surely (are) the signs for everyone patient and thankful.
The Quran 14:5 refers to Days of Allah, and mentions that in it is a sign for all patient and grateful. I think it refers to the arrival of Imam Mahdi and Jesus, so that just as the Bani Israel were rescued from the terrible crimes and corruptions of Pharaoh and his people, similarly the believers will be rescued from the evil of the Beast and all who follow him.
إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انشَقَّتْ
When the sky is split asunder,
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
You will surely embark (to) stage from stage.
The Quran 84:1 informs of when the 'as-samaa' (singular) is split, and verse 19 of the same chapter informs us that we will surely travel from stage to stage, or experience state after state.
يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ
وَلَقَدْ كَتَبْنَا فِي الزَّبُورِ مِن بَعْدِ الذِّكْرِ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ يَرِثُهَا عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحُونَ
(The) Day We will fold the heaven like (the) folding (of) a scroll for records. As We began (the) first creation We will repeat it, a promise upon Us. Indeed, We - We are (the) Doers. And verily, We have written in the Scripture after the mention, that the earth - will inherit it My slaves, the righteous.
The Quran 21:105 informs us that the 'salaiheen' will inherit the Earth. However, the preceding verse, 21:104, mentions the folding of 'as-samaa' (singular) and recreation of Earth and Sky. Perhaps the popular Christian faith of to be 'born again and saved' was actually referring to this event which is yet to happen.
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
So he smiled - laughing at her speech and said, "My Lord! Grant me (the) power that I may thank You (for) Your Favor which You have bestowed on me and on my parents and that I may do righteous (deeds), that will please You. And admit me by Your Mercy among Your slaves righteous."
The Quran 27:19 quotes Solomon's prayer of gratitude and the request to be included, by Allah's mercy, among the 'salaiheen' - perhaps he also was praying for the event referred to in 21:105.
If my understanding of the consequence of Adam's disobedience is correct, that is corruption of the genetic code of bani Adam, then it is only Allah's mercy which will repair and restore our genetic code to as Allah originally designed Adam.

Perhaps, if Allah wills, we will someday be able to connect the dots, so that the gaps in our knowledge are filled, and we understand clearly. I hope and pray that, in sha Allah, we recognise the signs as they are revealed, believe in them, side with the truth, and are included, by Allah's mercy, among the 'salaiheen'.
May Allah guide us and bless us.
