Reference to Holy Qur`an 33:40
........; he was a messenger of God and the last prophet.
- What is the difference between messenger and prophet?
-Why A messnger and not the LAST messenger?
Answer: Praise be to Allaah.
The well-known difference between a Prophet and a Messenger is that a Messenger is one to whom a law is revealed and he is commanded to convey it, whilst a Prophet is one to whom a law is revealed but he is not commanded to convey it. But this distinction is not free of problems, because a Prophet is also commanded to call people, convey the Message and judge among the people. Hence Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: The correct view is that the Messenger is one who is sent to a disbelieving people, and the Prophet is one who is sent to a believing people with the sharee’ah of the Messenger who came before him, to teach them and judge between them, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, We did send down the Tawraat (Torah) , therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allaah’s Will, judged for the Jews”
So the Prophets of the Children of Israel judged by the Tawraat which Allaah had revealed to Moosa.
With regard to the aayah,
“but he is the Messenger of Allaah and the last (end) of the Prophets”
and why it did not say the last of the Messengers – the end of the Message does not mean the end of Prophethood, but the end of Prophethood does mean the end of the Message. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There will be no Prophet after me,” and he did not say, there will be no Messenger after me.
Thus we know that there is no Messenger and no Prophet after him (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him); he was the last of the Prophets and of the Messengers, (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
This kind of issues should really be held more espacially when we know that the main reason for our lives is to worship Allah and spread his Islam
" ومن احسن قولاً ممن دعى إلى الله"
and thats a direct speech with a direct masseage to all mankind

I am sure that once I have read that Prophet mohammed Peace be upon him “said that “There will be no Prophet after me,”
is a kind of confirmimg about Essaa's return and by then most of humans will be missleaded by Al-dajal and he would call them back to Islam and not for Christainty
listen to be more sure i ought to go for some searching and I hope I will find more answers

any how keep on feeding our souls and minds with such useful words
Thanks
