Consider 1st Thessalonians 4:15 in the NT,  what does "Parousia" focus on in this context? Looks to me like it focuses on the "arrival" aspect because of the surrounding details, such as the actual descent of Christ and what happens in immediate connection with that descent.  I'm not arguing that this denies a subsequent presence, only that the focus is not on a subsequent presence, but on the arrival of the Lord and the attendant details to that arrival.
