This is as stupid as the mockery that christians have made of their religion. One false belief of Issa (as) being alive has led you to make more and more illogical reasoning, in order to prove your initial flawed concept.
Psyah, you are saying that Issa (as) will be under the leadership of Imam Mahdi (a non prophet).
Please provide an example where a prophet of Allah has been under the command of a non-prophet. No matter how pious and noble a person might be, a prophet's status is higher. Just how many rules do we have to bend to fulfill your irrational belief. First you had to reject/postpone the verse of Quran "Kullu Nafsin Zaiqatul Maut" for Issa. Then you had to bring Issa out of heaven and into earth when clearly heaven is an eternal place. Then you had to break the rule of Khatam Un Nabiyeen and allow for Jesus to come after Muhammad (saw) (naozobillah as if he was retired-hurt in a game of cricket) and finally you placed a prophet of Allah under the command of a non-prophet. See the pattern .......
I will ask again that you provide an evidence from Quran that Issa (as) is in-fact alive and living in heaven. If you have already "proven" it in some other thread, would you be kind enough to provide me a link since I am new here.
"That they say (in boast): 'We killed the
Messiah Isa, son of Maryam, the Messenger of
Allah, but they killed him not, nor crucified
him, but the resemblance of Isa was put over
another man (and they killed that man), and
those who differ therein are full of doubts.
They have no certain knowledge, they follow
nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed
him not, but Allah raised him up unto Himself.
And Allah is ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. And
there is none of the people of the scripture but
must believe in him before his death. And on
the Day of Resurrection, he (Isa) will be a
witness against them." (Qur'an 4:157-159)
this is the verse in quran that makes it clear that isa a.s is alive.
Al-Mahdi will remain the leader (at least whoever is leading the prayers will remain Imam) even after the arrival of Isa (AS) ...

but the hadith say:
***"How can this Ummah perish when I am at the beginning and Jesus son of Mary at the end?"
***since mahdi would be leader of the faithful, mahdi should have been mentioned in the above hadith. Purpose of Isa ibn maryam is as you say to kill dajjal and guide people of the book. so why Jesus is mentioned as the savior of the ummah in the later days
“How can my ummah perish when i am at it’s beginning, Jesus son of Mary, at its end and the mahdi from my progeny will be in the middle of it. But in between this, there will be a large detracted group. Neither i belong to them nor they belong to me”
The above tradition has been quoted in **Musnad of Imam Ahmad **from Ibn AbbasRZ, by Abu Nu-aym Isphahani from Ibn Abbas, in Kanzul Ummal from Ali, in Mishkat and it’s commentaries Mirqat and Lumu-at from Imam Jafar and Razeem, by Hakim from Abdullah Ibn Umar RZ, and in Tafseer-e-Madarik with some variance in words.
There are other ahadith which clearly indicate without any doubt that Imam Mahdi - Hz. Muhammad ibn Abdullah (ra) and Hz. Isa Ibn Maryum (as) are two separate individuals
It is reported from Abu Hurayra(RA) that the Prophet(SAW) said:
What will be your reaction when the son of Mary (Jesus) descends and your Imam is from among yourselves? (**Sahih Muslim, bab nuzul ‘isa, Vol. 2; Sahih Bukhari, kitab bad’ al-khalq wa nuzul 'isa, Vol. 4) **
The holy Prophet(SAW) said:
What would be your situation if the Son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends upon you and your Imam is from among you?
**(Bukhari, kitabul-Anbiya, Chapter Nuzul Isa bin Maryam) **
