It seems sensible to me. Maybe you didn’t get any responses because nobody has a decent argument to answer you with?

As a pretribber, I came across George Ladd’s book, “The Blessed Hope,” many years ago. His “Vocabulary of the Blessed Hope” chapter, made a huge impression on me.

He dealt with the Greek words, “parousia, “epiphaneia,” and “apocalypsis” (the coming, appearing, revelation, of Jesus Christ) extensively, his “vocabulary,” examining their every use in the NT, used interchangeably for the singular second coming at the close of the tribulation.

As to my post, we have George Ladd’s scholarship to thank for it. Ladd, now deceased, was professor of NT History and Biblical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary.
