The Hope of the Second Coming

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20.

The [second] coming of the Lord has been in all ages the hope of His true followers. The Saviour’s parting promise upon Olivet, that He would come again, lighted up the future for His disciples, filling their hearts with joy and hope that sorrow could not quench nor trials dim. Amid suffering and persecution, “the appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” was the “blessed hope.” When the Thessalonian Christians were filled with grief as they buried their loved ones, who had hoped to live to witness the coming of the Lord, Paul, their teacher, pointed them to the resurrection, to take place at the Saviour’s advent. Then the dead in Christ should rise, and together with the living be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. “And so,” he said, “shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18....

From the dungeon, the stake, the scaffold, where saints and martyrs witnessed for the truth, comes down the centuries the utterance of their faith and hope. Being “assured of His personal resurrection, and consequently of their own at His coming, for this cause,” says one of these Christians, “they despised death, and were found to be above it.”—Daniel T. Taylor, The Reign of Christ on Earth: or, The Voice of the Church in All Ages, p. 33. They were willing to go down to the grave, that they might “rise free.” They looked for the “Lord to come from heaven in the clouds with the glory of His Father,” “bringing to the just the times of the kingdom.” The Waldenses cherished the same faith. Wycliffe looked forward to the Redeemer’s appearing as the hope of the church.

On rocky Patmos the beloved disciple hears the promise, “Surely I come quickly,” and his longing response voices the prayer of the church in all her pilgrimage, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:20

The Bible gives detailed description of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
1. It is going to be loud
2. it is going to be destructive to the wicked,
3. The righteous dead will rise and the righteous living with be changed into immortality,
4. The wicked will run and hide and say to the mountains and rocks "fall on us and hide us from He that sits upon the Throne"
5. It will be a physical visible event, "shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven" - Acts 1:11
6. All eyes shall see Him and it will be clear and bright as the lightning
7. We'll hear the voice of the Arch angel and the trump of God.

... and so many more signs. We have not yet seen these signs and we are still here... Jesus Christ will soon come but He has not yet come. Read your Bible yourself, prayerfully. You can understand it if you submit to the Holy Spirit.

One of the scriptures you mention is Matthew 24:27

Can you explain how this scripture point to the second coming?

Surely Jesus will come back but as judge to destroy all enemies of peace! Luke 19:27
The only time people had opportunity to see this man was his first mission on this planet because then his coming was to teach and counsel the Jews on how they could fulfill God's promises to Abraham but the nation in general rejected him as only a few Jews believed Jesus as their promised Messiah.
Today Jesus is moving around as a mighty spirit king directing his organized disciples and leading them to prospective citizens of God's Kingdom.
As for whoever rejects their visits Jesus has his own way of judging them when he returns to end all badness! Revelation 19:11-21
