Not so....many of you (most?) take it as the “coming in the clouds.”

Which is not necessarily the Second Coming. You seem to be objecting to the fact that I do not assume the same things that you are assuming about the biblical texts. You assume (or assert without proof) that "coming in clouds" always equals Second Coming. I don't regard that as a valid assertion for reasons that I have articulated on a number of occasions.

Can you see the difference from my perspective, or does it just not make any sense in your theological worldview?

No, YOU assume that.

Coming in clouds (rapture) as a prelude to the 2nd coming is scriptural. That’s why dispensationalists believe it.

Were you a preterist in 1969? If not, what were you?

the “coming in the clouds.”... Which is not necessarily the Second Coming.

But nobody saw it.

NOBODY.

When Jesus comes in the clouds, EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM.

Care to show me some eyewitness accounts of that event in 70 AD?
