It certainly can mean 'presence' but nowhere in the Bible does the word 'invisible' attach to parousia! The idea of an invisible presence arose in the mid 1800s when the chronological speculations of Adventist William Miller, after his first prediction for Christ's visible return in 1844, proved false. The idea of an invisible return then arose, quickly taken up by Charles Taze Russell to apply to his predictions about Christ returning in 1874. For Russell, he understood parousia to mean, not simply a coming or return, but as implying Christ's continuing presence following his return. At his return Russell said Christ would be invisibly present; the moment of his arrival may pass unnoticed, but the fact of his presence would become more and more evident until it would be inescapable. This view had elements in common with that of James Hatley Frere earlier in the 19th century. The idea of an invisible and continuing presence proved to be extremely convenient for Russell when 1874 led to 1914, because that enabled Russell to proclaim that the present war in Europe was the start of Armageddon and soon Armageddon would lead into the Jews returning to Palestine and then there would be a paradise earth restored. Russell died in October 1916, and his ideas were proven to be completely false by the 1920s. The next president gradually replaced Russell's chronology with a different system and all Russell's writings were shelved. But the idea of an invisible presence was retained and this has enabled the idea of 1914 being the start of Jesus' invisible presence to be clung on to till now. Of course, as the centenary of 1914 arrives and still no Armageddon, new explanations will have to be in place, otherwise membership of this group will drop drastically. However, let it be pointed out that even if parousia could be taken to mean a presence, that does not, of itself, rule out a visible presence. It is utterly illogical for anyone to say that a presence cannot be visible! Only those with a vested interest in Jesus remaining invisible for all time to come must insist that a presence must be invisible! It's no use taking isolated verses in the Bible to show a presence when other verses about Jesus' return to earth show that every eye will see Him!
