How can Prophet Isa return to Earth without violating Prophet Muhammad being the last Prophet?

We know that Prophet Muhammad is the last of the Prophets (sometimes referred to as the Seal of the Prophets ): > Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but **[he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets**. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing. -- Qur'an 33:40 We also know that second coming of Prophet Isa will be a sign of the Day of Judgement: > And indeed, **Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour**, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path. -- Qur'an 43:61 This means Prophet Isa will return to Earth in the future, and in particular, after Prophet Muhammad who is the last of the Prophets. This is puzzling me. **Question**: How can Prophet Isa return to Earth without violating Prophet Muhammad being the last Prophet?
