Lexicon Results for parousia (Strong's G3952) Greek for G3952
1) presence
You will notice the first definition of the greek word most bible translate as coming is "PRESENCE"
That is why the NWT accurately reads at Matt 24:3 While he was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
If Jesus' coming was visible you wouldn't need signs, this happened in 1914 This started the Lord's Day (Revelation chapter 1)
Jesus' coming to execute the wicked (Revelation ch. 19) is still future. and is at the end of the Lord's Day.

If Jesus already returned and Armageddon had happened; then we would be in that peaceful 1000 year reign. Looking at the world situation; I don't think so. Do not lose hope because God Almighty cannot lie.

If you mean returned to this earth. The answer is no. We believe Christ came into "Kingdom power" in 1914. (He did not immediately come into Kingdom Power right after ascending to heaven as shown by the following scriptures.)
Acts 2:34-35 "Jehovah said to my Lord: “SIT at my right hand, Â UNTIL I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”
Rev. 12:9 "Â So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. Â And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "NOW HAVE COME TO PASS the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!"

With Jesus at his Fathers right hand from his ascending back to his heavenly place shortly after his resurrection, he began his rule in 1914. The bible book of Daniel gives all the details inregards to Jesus.
