As late as the writings of Paul, believers held that a “Parousia,” or apocalyptic Second Coming, was imminent.

History has offered the authoritative commentary on the prophecy of the Parousia of Christ.

At least the study should enable us to distinguish two inspired terms which have been needlessly confounded by not a few writers, viz.: the words "Paraclete," and "Parousia."

The Parousia for which the Lord had looked, delayed.

Observe their difference: In the Paraclete, Christ comes spiritually and invisibly; in the Parousia, he comes bodily and gloriously.
