Amusing that people still think Christ will come down from heaven on a cloud so that all would see.
"If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come upon thee as a theif..."
"I will write upon him my new name."

I guess these passages don't mean what they say? ... of course this is the Second Coming ... your reference would be to the parousia ...
Acts 1 KJV
9 And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward Heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven.
Matthew 24:30 KJV
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven: and then shall ***all the tribes of the Earth mourn***, and they shall see the ***Son of Man coming in the clouds of Heaven*** with power and great glory.
