Why don't you tell us about the "kingdom believers"?
What made the "kingdom believers" different than the "body believers"?
This is MAD 101
You should be able to answer this question very easily.

God's wrath is not identical with God anymore than the creation is identical with God. Wrath was declared upon Israel, and Mt 24 etc say that the 2nd coming and worldwide judgement was originally planned to happen right after that of Israel. But a delay was allowed. And obviously we are still in that holding pattern.
There are many times or instances when Christ says that a certain limited act is his coming back or a coming to be with you or a coming: Pentecost, the teaching 40 days after the Resurrection, the incoming of the Gentile believers, the 'visitation' of wrath in 66+--all of these are things about which he said I will come back to you.
He had other things to do than just 'come back in worldwide judgement' and they weren't necessarily going to be all at the same time.

If it requires clues for it to be followed, you have been followed the wrong ones. The only one needed is the knowing of Jesus Christ.

Besides picking out a loser acronym because it is about the worst sort of over-thinking theology, MAD overthinks theology and does so with the least of historical meaning and context and issues in mind.
Your rep power speaks volumes.
I suppose next, you'll try and sell us on the idea that you're some kind of genius?
There was no delay.
As for your claim of a worldwide judgment. If there was to be a literal worldwide judgment, why the following warning:
(Luke 21:21) Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city.
Does Luke 21:21 sound worldwide, or does it sound like it only pertains to Judea and Jerusalem?

No, but looking at MAD statements is like looking at the D'ism I grew up in a 2nd time where people never realized how obtuse they were the first time. They never find the self-organizing passages of the NT and get deeply immersed in them so that they sound like them: Rom 3, 4, 9-11, Gal 3, 4, 2 Cor 3-5, Heb 8-10, Acts 13, 26. These are passages where the widest scope and biggest picture are spelled out consciously, not in bits and pieces.
Both D'ism and MAD have their soundbytes. Very often it just comes down to a Mt 23:30 or a Rom 11:26a with very little care or attention to the force of the whole passage(s) involved.
Both think there is 2P2P and there is not. Or multipleP, multipleP.

This forum is owned by a madist, and the majority of people here are madists. They think like you, which is scary enough.
If I was in a word faith Pentecostal forum, my rep would be off the scale.
Why not pack your bags and head on over there? They'll be happy
to welcome you with closed minds and open arms.
Nobodies forcing you to stay here and be disruptive, are they?

I do read posts in different forums.
If you Bozo's don't like the uneven playing field, get outta Dodge and go where
the grass is greener and less difficult for ya.

If I was in a Preterist forum, my rep would be off the scale.
Instead, we're both in a forum with little psychotic MADists like W and Marowbe.
We're still waiting for one of you Darby Followers to show us where Peter observed the law after the cross?
Then, why not stay there? That's where your pals are, right?
You nit-wits stay here and belly-ache about the MAD position yet,
you're addicted to the debates you keep losing. Do you really believe
you're gonna convert MAD folks over to your dark side?

Nope
We just come here for practice.
You're not even a very good practice player, I know MAD better than you do.
You should go over to the theology club and learn MAD.
You guys could stay clear of MADIST threads/posts but, you just adore being a pest and a disruptive source.
Childish retort. I expect that from you and your ilk.
