There’s nothing in the NT to say that Yeshua was returning to visit Saul on the road to Damascus as a “Coming” ...The First Coming was the Suffering Messiah, to deliver us from sin, His Second Coming is as role of Conquering Messiah for whom the Jews were looking for in the first place to deliver them from Rome.

And that, dear One is why the Rapture is not The Second Coming, just as Saul seeing the real Jesus was not a 'second coming'. The Second Coming is an event which the whole world will witness. The Rapture is an event that only those In Christ will see because those in Christ will be transformed in a moment to be like Him thus able to see Him as they rise into the clouds to MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR.

At the Rapture, believers throughout History will be called out. At the Second touchdown the Angels will go a gathering in preparation of the Jusgment. we Who believe are already judged and born from above, no longer under condemnation. THAT is the Grace of God in Christ. And this born from above group have no distinction between Jew and Gentile. In the Tribulation the distinction will once again be a burden on Jews and those who will not worship the Beast.
