The Bible teaches us that the return of Christ is 'near'. It does not teach imminency.
Consider the verses below carefully looking for the implication of imminency. You will not find it.
It is true that the early apostles and believers looked for Christ Jesus to return in their lifetime. But obviously they were wrong. He has not returned yet.
So, the fact that the apostles did not have full revelation of the end times and mistakenly believed that Jesus would return any day should not be used as a foundation for us to make the same mistake.
Jesus laid out the order of events in Mat 24. He clearly said that He would return after the Great Tribulation.
