No, it does not say that. It may be how you are reading it, but it does not say what you think it does.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
This tells us that immediately following the tribulation of those days, Jesus will come. In no way does this prohibit a previous coming. It is merely a statement of fact, He will come after the tribulation. Don't read into a verse what you want it to say!
1 Thes. 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
IS this a coming? It tells us it is. But it also says He comes ONLY to the air. One would have to add to scripture to declare that after He stops in the air, He then comes down to the ground.
This is a coming without horses. The Revelation 19 coming is with horses.
This is a coming with an archangel. The Revelation 19 coming is with armies of angels.
This is a coming in John's timeline after the days of GT. In Paul's coming it is before wrath. It is impossible they are both speaking of one coming.

Man loves the methodology of 'serpent twisting ' of scripture.
God hates it, and so do i.
Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words,
lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6
the LORD says:
"But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.
No where in Scripture can you find the LORD or the Apostles saying there is more then one return -the Coming of Christ.
Again, to say other then the words of the LORD and the Apostles is the working of the evil one in your heart.
When you recognize this, the Lord will grant you grace to turn away from it.
Never assume that i lack understanding from the Holy Spirit on such things as His Coming and TRUTH.
To hurl insults because you cannot prove from scripture your position is clear immaturity.
The Apostles spoke the same singular Coming of the LORD in their writings - there was never a confusing statement or multiple Returns/Comings of the LORD. Always, just one - His Coming.
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so
God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you
by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive
and remain until
the coming of the Lord
will
by no means precede those who are asleep(the spirits of the dead in Christ)
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
And
the dead in Christ will rise first. = Revelation 20 the FIRST Resurrection
After that we who are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
serpent twisting of scripture: "multiple returns of Christ and multiple resurrections and pre-trib rapture before the resurrection"
