There are many parrells and allussions between Christian, and Islamic endtime prophecies. Here are a few examples:

The Bible says that There will be a false prophet that will lead the world's coming one religion, and he will also assist the Anti Christ, the Coming world dictator. The false prophet will have power to do great miricles, and he will convince the world to follow after the Anti Christ. The Qura'n says that there will come in the last days Isa (Jesus), and he will be able to preform miricles to prove to the world that he is Jesus. He (Isa), will break all the crosses, and convice the world to follow after the Al Medhi - Islams last prophet.

There are more to all this, but Im tired now. Maybe later?

I'll have to correct you on that. The Qur'an alludes to the return of Jesus(pbuh) in the end times. Christians believe this also. that is the parallel. The parallel you should have been making and which you didnt is the appearance of the Anti-Christ whom we know as Dajjal [meaning, The impostor]. As far as i can tell, they are the same person and he is the one who will have great powers and he will call to a false religion. What he will show as paradise will actually be hell and what he will show as hell will actually be paradise.
The person Al-Mehdi you refer to will appear before Jesus(pbuh)'s returns. According to Islamic teachings in this regards, Prophet Mohammad(pbuh) is the last messenger of God... there are no messengers after him. Imam Al-Mehdi will not be a prophet.
P.S. Eesa (pbuh) is Jesus(pbuh). Please note that Jesus (pbuh) did not speak Latin or english. also, please note that the arabic and hebrew are sister languages.
Hoep this clears it up.
And Allah knwos best.
