This is the tricky one and shows the supremacy of Holy Spirit revelation in the scriptures. Amillenials follow the Jewish understanding that our Lord's next coming is to consumate the world, they see the resurrection of the dead and the last judgement.
But Paul saw clearly the intermediate stage of the resurrection as shown in 1. Cor. 15. The Revelator also saw it in chapter 20. There is first to be the resurrection of the just, those who are Christ's at His coming or the first resurrection in Revs 20 ... blessed and happy are they who partake in the first resurrection.
Then comes the 1, 000 years "for He must first reign until all rule and powers and authorities are put under His feet" Then comes the end.
Paul understood it because only he had the revelation of the church planted among the nations, a thing unthinkable to the Jews. The church for them must always be centralised in Jerusalem.
The church being planted among the nations is what necessitates the removal of the church before God's wrath falls upon the nations.
So the Holy Spirit saw what the disciples did not see.

Even the very same Apostles and disciples in Matthew 24:3(except Judas he betrayed Jesus immediately after the O.D.) began to understand Jesus and the second coming in Acts chapters 1-3 but I'm asking about the time prior to that in Matthew 24,,, did they know about a second coming in Matthew 24? (your looking at Amill. teaching,Paul Revelation ect.) Anyway after they Received the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 they did understand (I'm meaning Matthew 24:3 before they had) ...
