On the contrary, many still think of the future event of the Rapture/Second coming:
Aleph coming/His first call (Spiritual birth):
Luke 5:32 "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."
Spiritual life on earth: John 17:15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one."; Matt. 3:15 "...Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness."; Mark 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
Tau coming/His second call (Spiritual fulfilment/fleshly death):
John 14:3 "If I go and prepare a place (the Kingdom*) for you, I shall come again and receive you to Myself..."; John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I Myself shall raise him up on the last day (of his mortal life)."; John 6:44 “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I shall raise him up on the last day (of his mortal life)."
* Matthew 3:2 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"; 25:34 "...inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
This requirement of the spiritual birth is for everyone to repent out of the kingdom of darkness at His first call, and to fulfill what is required of His Kingdom of Light till his mortal death at His second call to return his soul to Him. John 3:3-8
For the rapture (snatching away): If you believe in the rapture,
where would the flesh and the blood go? 1 Cor. 15:50 ...that flesh
and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of Elohim
and that which is perishable does not inherit which is not perishable.
The same pattern is for all to die, to be buried and to be raised,
even our Savior Yahushua the Mashiyach died, and was buried
and was raised. 1 Cor 15:44-49 The natural (perishable) body is
of the dust (earthly image) upon its death to return to the dust.
The spiritual (imperishable) body is of the heavenly image
in which it comes from the spiritual rebirth upon the repentance.
First (Aleph/Alpha) coming
Sowing time in the repentant heart to begin his spiritual life
and Second (Tau/Omega) coming
Reaping time to end his fleshly life and to draw him up
His Alpha/first coming brings the beginning of spiritual life to everyone who repents with His Blood of purification (Passover/Pesach/Son of Life) in his heart who is called out of the kingdom of coldness/darkness, eats His Matzot (Unleavened bread of truth and honesty), receives His Spirit of Life (Shavuot/Penetocost) in his sanctified heart, and dwells in His Kingdom/Tabernacle (Booths/Sukkot) on the earth for the shortened days of his mortal life, till the 8th day of Sukkot is perceived as the great day of His Omega/last/second coming at his fleshly death.
His first (Aleph) coming (sowing time):
His first coming (sowing time) is at the beginning of His warmth/our spiritual life (awaken out of the kingdom of coldness) to plant His Seed/Word of Life in the repentant hearts of men (field/world). Rev. 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I shall come in to him and shall dine with him, and he with Me." He comes daily to knock the doors (entrance) of the hearts (mortal houses) as to hear His Word of Light like to wake out of the kingdom of darkness/coldness. His first coming is to plant His Word of Life in the sanctified heart to grow the spiritual production (talent/gift of Life) by obeying His Law of Life till the end of fleshly age.
His second (Tau) coming (reaping time):
His second coming (harvest time) is at the end of His warmth (our fleshly expiration) to collect our spiritual works that come out of His Seed (Word) of Life planted in our repentant heart at the beginning of our spiritual birth (warmth). Our fleshly (perishable) bodies return to the kingdom of death as the fleshly works (tares) are thrown out to the lake of fire, then our spiritual bodies return to His Kingdom of Life.
It is not what many thought it is the future event to happen but His daily harvest (coming) at the end of the fleshly age is to reap all the spiritual production (body/wheat) out of what is sown in the repentant heart into His barn (Kingdom of Life) when the fleshly body is dead.
Scriptural examples of His first and second comings:
First coming:
Acts 9:3-6 "As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me? And he said, Who are You, Master? And the Master said, I am Yahushua whom you are persecuting, but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do."
The example of His first coming is revealed to Shaul (Paul) in Acts 9:3-6 to touch his heart to repent from the kingdom of darkness and give him His gift of teaching (His sowing Word of Life) in his sanctified heart. As I have experienced with the receipt of His Spirit of Life joyfully the next morning, in the prior night of August 1976, I saw the light presence of Yahushua the Messiah, at His first call [Aleph coming] upon my repentance, sitting on the chair at the corner when awakening from my sleep time. The initial receipt of His Spirit of Life is the beginning of a spiritual life with His first coming like knocking on the door of mortal heart to repent out of the kingdom of darkness as to open the season of His warmth to produce out of His Seed (Word) of Life in the sanctified heart.
Second coming:
Acts 7:55-59 "But being full of Ruach haKodesh, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of Elohim, and Yahushua standing at the right hand of Elohim; and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of Elohim. But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse. When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Shaul. They went on stoning Stephen as he called on the Master and said, “Master Yahushua, receive my spirit!"
The example of His second coming is revealed to Stephen only in Acts 7:55-59 to receive (harvest) his spiritual work in Messiah for he believes in His gospel of Life as to surrender his spirit (at the fleshly age/expiration). The returning receipt of His Spirit of Life is at the end of fleshly age (mortal death) with His second coming as to harvest the spiritual production out of the sanctified heart at the end of His warmth before the mortality returns back to the kingdom of darkness/coldness.
Also many post-resurrection, pre-ascension comings/appearings can be read in 1 Cor. 15:3-8 "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that haMashiyach died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also."; Luke 24; Acts 7:55; 9:4-5; 10:13-15; 22:17-18; 23:11; Rev. 1:17.
What He had appeared to more than 500 men were at the beginning of their spiritual lives so they remained for the shortened days till the ends of their fleshly ages, and He had appeared to some that were fallen asleep (died) as to receive their spirits to Himself in the clouds.
So He continues doing His work for all who seek His salvation daily at His initial comings to descend (enter) their repentant hearts with His Word/Seed of Life sown for the shortened days (season of His warmth) till the ends of their fleshly ages when they are caught up (received) to Himself.
His first appearing of the grace, His redemption of us, His second appearing of glory:
Titus 2:11-14 "For the grace of Elohim has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny unholiness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and holy in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great Elohim and Savior, haMashiyach Yahushua, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."
Our spiritual births are instructed to deny all the deeds of unholiness and worldly desires and to live righteously and holy in His presence till the ends of our fleshly ages. What He has done to all the repentant hearts is to purify every lawless deed out of our transformed lives from the kingdom of lawlessness to His Kingdom of Life to do His good deeds.
His first appearing of grace is to sanctify us from the kingdom of death to do His spiritual work till the ends of our fleshly ages before His second appearing of glory is to receive us into His Kingdom of Life.
His coming is to prepare you a place in His Father's house:
John 14:2-4 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going."
His first coming is to plant His Seed of Life in your repentant heart at the beginning of your spiritual life to grow to the full maturity in Messiah, then He will come back to receive you at the end of your fleshly age as to prepare for you a place to dwell in His Father's house.
His coming on the clouds of heaven:
Matt. 24:30-31 "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other."; Acts 7:55-56 "But being full of Ruach haKodesh, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of Elohim, and Yahushua standing at the right hand of Elohim; and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of Elohim."
The clouds of heaven is illuminated as the glory (Acts 7:55-56) or pleasure of spiritual production at the harvest time when coming to the fleshly expiration in which our heavenly Father only knows the end of fleshly age of every mortal minded. The mourning of mortality is to remove the fleshly works out of the hearts when coming to the end of fleshly age as to throw out the tares (works of foolishness), but to rejoice over the wheat (good works out of His Seed/Word of Life sown in the repentant hearts).
