Why do you insist this isn’t the Second Coming of Christ?
Jesus coming as “a thief in the night” (1 Thess 5:2)
Never said that either.

.
Paul told the Thessalonians that he would not come to them as a thief, because they kept his feasts, and thus would know when to expect his coming.
He also told them that Yeshua could not come until the “Man of Sin” came first, and stood on the Ark and declared himself to be God.
In Revelation 3 he declared that he would come as a thief to those that “will not watch.”
Paul told the Corinthians exactly when Yeshua would come: “At the last trump,” which is the exact end of Satan’s great tribulation of Yeshua’s elect.
All that we need to know is right there in the word. Yeshua’s coming is not nor ever has been “imminent,” that is Satan’s proudest lie, to cause the elect to accept the mark.
