The days of His flesh were those years of His Incarnation. BTW, I would to hear you - or from anyone else here - what "days of His flesh" means to you. My position is that an unbiased interpretation - that is, not running to a commentary - would be to assume that these "days" were bracketed by periods that were not "flesh". Seeing that we are speaking of Christ that would be both directions of eternity of not being in the flesh.

There are no inspired historical records seeing that Scripture was closed with the event itself. There are uninspired but still helpful historical accounts from Josephus, Tacitus, and others

"In the sky appeared a vision of armies in conflict, of glittering armour. A sudden lightening flash from the clouds lit up the Temple. The doors of the holy place abruptly opened, a superhuman voice was heard to declare that the gods were leaving it, and in the same instant came the rushing tumult of their departure." - the Histories 5.13

"Parousia" means "presence" so, no, I do not believe He will appear in the eschatological sense. He is here now. When we die, of course, we will be with Him in a more intimate sense. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".

the ONLY record that counts would be the scriptures, and they indicate that nothing that Jesus foretold would happen at His second coming event actually has yet!

Yes, indeed, we are all still waiting for those Chaldeans, that "bitter and hasty nation" to fill the land. Hab. 1.6.

It is you that is linking those NT verses with Habakkuk 2.3, not the Bible.

When were all of the dead and alive in Christ physical glorified then in history? as his second coming ushers in either the Millennium or the eternal state, but not what you purpose!
