Intro
In 1897-1898 (See Kitab ul Barriya), MGA and his team of writers, alleged that Ibn Arabi had written that Jesus will descend but in the sense that he will be associated with a different body (See page 19, Lahori-Ahmadi abridged translation), and that he died (see page 34, Lahori-Ahmadi abridged translation) MGA and his team referenced page 262 (see a document by the Qadiani’s) of a commentary written by Ibn Arabi, however, this seems to be Tafsir-i-Kashani by Abd al-Razzaq Kāshānī. Tafsir Kashani can also be found online at Al-Tafsir.com. Tafsir Kashani was also printed under the title “Tafseer ibn Arabi” (see online herein).

You can download the text, Tafsir Ibn Arabi, in two volumes as a pdf from here:
https://archive.org/details/Tafsiribnarabi/
Open volume 1 and go to page 165 of the book.
You will find this is what Ibn Arabi has written there in explanation of 4:158:
(بل رفعه الله إليه) * إلى قوله * (ليؤمنن به) * رفع عيسى عليه السلام اتصال روحه عند المفارقة عن العالم السفلي بالعالم العلوي.
وكونه في السماء الرابعة إشارة إلى أن مصدر فيضان روحه روحانية تلك الشمس الذي هو بمثابة قلب العالم ومرجعه إليه وتلك الروحانية نور يحرك ذلك الفلك بمعشوقيته وإشراق أشعته على نفسه المباشرة لتحريكه ولما كان مرجعه إلى مقره الأصلي ولم يصل إلى الكمال الحقيقي وجب نزوله في آخر الزمان، بتعلقه ببدن آخر
I’ve highlighted the two sentences in this ibarah, the first in which he says Jesus was raised up in his Ruh from the lower world to the higher world, and the second which says Jesus will descend in the end times with a different body.
___________________________________________________________________________The words of Ibn Arabi regarding the life of Issa A.S. in his book Futuhat Makiya:
https://archive.org/details/FTMAKIA/fmakia6/page/n69/mode/2up
ibn arabi-futuhat makiya vol6-page 71:
Gabriel asked for the second heaven to be open as he did in the first, and when he entered, he found Issa, peace be upon me, with his own body, as he did not die until now, but God raised him to this heaven and dwelt him in it.
ibn arabi-futuhat makiya vol3-page 6
“فانه لا خلاف ان عيسى عليه السلام نبي و رسول و انه لا خلاف انه ينزل في اخر الزمان حكما مقسطا عدلا بشرعنا لا بشرعه الذي تعبد الله به بني اسرائيل”

“””I have mentioned in earlier books that Imam Bukhari and Imam ibn Hazm and Imam Malik (Allah be pleased with them) and other great Imams held exactly this belief that the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) has in fact died. Now let it be clear that the Shaykh Muhiyudeen ibn al-‘Arabi also held the same belief. So he writes about the nature of descent on page 262 of his commentary that ‘Jesus will descend but in the sense that he will be associated with a different body’ so that his descent will be as a likeness as is believed by the eminent Sufis. Then on the same page he writes that ‘The meaning of Jesus’ ascension is that when his soul got separated from the lower world it was joined with the higher world.’ Then on page 178 he writes that the meaning of ascension is that the soul of Jesus after being taken was brought to the heaven of souls. So ponder over this.
The great authorities have accepted this. So much so that Muhiyudeen ibn al-‘Arabi has also
written in clear words in his commentary that ‘The descent of the Messiah would be in this manner that his soul will be associated with another body’ so that someone else will be born according to his qualities and nature which is a spiritual matter. So the Exalted God was ready to help these people if they were ready to accept help. But they deviated far away, out of mean-mindedness and prejudice, and did not desire that the Exalted God should enlighten their hearts.
We can conclusively and definitely prove to every seeker of truth that from the time of our master and leader the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) till the present day there have been in every century Godly persons through whom God has shown heavenly Signs to the communities to guide them. There have been in Islam persons such as Sayyid Abdul Qadir of Gilan and Abul Hassan of Kharaqan and Abu Yazid of Bustam, and Junayd of Baghdad and Muhiyudeen ibn al-‘Arabi and Zunnoon of Egypt and Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer and Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki and Fariduddin of Pakpattan and Nizamuddin of Delhi and Shah Waliullah of Delhi and Shaykh Ahmad of Sirhind (Allah be pleased with them as they were pleased with Him) and the number of such persons runs into thousands. So many wonders of these people are recorded in the books of the scholarly and the learned that even a prejudiced opponent despite his great bias has to concede in the end that these people showed extraordinary signs and wonders.
Similarly the master of the Sufis the Shaykh Muhiyudeen ibn al-‘Arabi categorically expresses his belief regarding the death of the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) in his commentary in clear words.
The Shaykh ibn al-‘Arabi writes [the following] in the Fusûs al-Hikam about a vision he had that
he [the Promised Messiah] is the Seal of Saints and will be born a twin. A girl will be born with him and he will be Chinese meaning his forbears would have lived in Chinese countries so all these precepts were fulfilled with the intent of Almighty God. I have written that I was born a twin and there was a girl with me and our seniors lived in Samarkand which had ties with China””.

You said about Ibn Arabi: “the islamic world doesn’t follow his teachings or take him seriously.” but many if not most Sunni Muslims revere him, call him Shaykh al-Akbar, and his works like Futuhat al-Makkiyah and Fusus al-Hikam are still widely read. His doctrine of wahdat al-wujud is officially believed in by most Sufis, Barelwis and even Devbandis.

Show the evidence. Wasn’t he in Spain? None of the 4 schools of Sunni thought quote him.
