In Holy Quran Allah(swt) says "When in doubt go to the books that have been revealed before the Quran"
i.e. to refer the previous scriptures, like Torah & Injeel to understand the previous prophecies & the history of those to whom they were revealed i.e. the "Jewish People"

Jews of the time of Isa(as) believed that a previous Israelite prophet, Elijah (Elias(as)) had ascended to heaven in a chariot of fire & before advent of the Jewish Messiah, he would descend from heaven & prepare grounds for advent of Messiah; & then the Messiah would appear

So when Isa(as) made a claim to Messiahship, the Jews asked for Elijah
When Isa(as) told them that John the Baptist (Yahya(as)) was the SAME Promised Elijah, Jews insisted that if he was Elijah, he should have descended from heavens. So they rejected both Isa(as) & Yahya(as)

There are references in New Testament in which resemblance of John to Prophet Elijah(as) has been mentioned
Here Isa(as) confirmed the fact that Elijah would not return, & that the appearance of Yahya(as) was nothing but the fulfillment of the prophesied coming of Elijah(as)

Clearly One Particular Prophet was expected to RETURN – whereas another individual appears in the place of that same Prophet, but similar in spirit & qualities. But, he is rejected by the majority!
The Jews are still awaiting the same Elijah(as) to return from the heavens.

"METAPHORS"
So, the coming of an individual bearing the qualities and attributes of a person from the past is called by the earlier person's NAME, it is a METAPHOR.

Example:
In a local football match, when a player tackles the opponents, the commentator screams "Here comes Maradona !"
Does it mean, the legend from Argentina has come to play this local match?
The commentator speaks volumes about his qualities, by calling him Maradona.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
Similarly, today majority of MUSLIMS believe Isa(as) has been taken up to the Heavens Alive with his physical body & has been living there for 2000+ yrs
They are waiting for him to fly down physically with help of 2 angels & to land on a white minaret
