Returning as a thief?
You mean "...like a theif in the night" ?
Some people draw a distinction between that and the second coming by saying the "theif in the night" bit means rapture prior to tribulation, or the seven year period of strife before the acutal second coming.
In the rapture, some believe, true christians will be swept up into heaven to be spared the tribulation.
Then the seven year tribulation period where the anti-christ gets all up in our business.
Then Jesus comes back and saves us all for at least a thousand years.
... and that's what I learned when I read the "Left Behind" series.
Hope this helps!

It's all in the wording, I guess--whether he made it to second base, or stole second base...
