Once again, has the Parousia already happened?

Yes, Jesus came in judgment in finality in AD 70.

But if you want to find passage that holds out hope for a second Second Coming, go to Acts 1:9-11.

You can run, but you can't hide from this whopper.

Now, here is the passage chuck is holding up to support this whopper.

He's yet to explain the context of the passage as it relates to his comment.

9And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:9-11

Eagle on High, you mis-interpreted and mis-represent my comment. I hold to the full preterist view, which I stated that Jesus came in finality in AD 70. The Acts 1:9-11 citation was for you or others who want a small leg to stand on, since that passage is the only clear instance in the New Testament that does not specifically or by implication limit the Parousia to the lives of those living in the first century. There are two groups who see dual Parousias: (1) partial preterists, and (2) dispensationalists who find Jesus coming at both the beginning and end of a 7-year tribulation.
