Question : May Allah bless you. What is the issue?

Answer : Yes, it continues until he descends in the end times. As for his death, there is a difference of opinion on this. Allah the Mighty and Majestic said, and
[Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myselfإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَىٰ إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ
[Ali 'Imran 3:55]
So is the death here a death of sleep or a death of dying? The most apparent view is that it is a death of sleep, and that when Allah the Exalted raised him, He put him to sleep until He raised him to the sky, and then he became alive. This is the apparent meaning, and in the end times he will descend to the earth.
