Jesus and Paul Agree

Quote: In his book, The Rapture Question: Answered Plain and Simple, Robert Van Kampen recognized about ten parallels between these two passages below. In the chart, however, I have listed, in addition to his ten parallels, about ten more important parallels that should not be overlooked.

first he says this:
The first Coming of Christ was not instantaneous. Rather, it was initiated by the virgin birth. But the birth of Christ was not the whole, but a part of his Coming. During the first Coming, God fulfilled certain Divine purposes: Jesus' birth, ministry of teaching, healing, the cross, burial, and resurrection.

So will the Second Coming of Christ be a comprehensive whole in which God will fulfill certain Divine purposes and events. We are informed that God's first Divine purposes will be to raise the dead in the resurrection and rapture those believers who are remaining on earth at that time. Then the Coming will continue to include the Day of the Lord's wrath, consumation of the Kingdom, Israel's salvation, Armageddon, and the ushering in of the Millennial age.

then he says implifies there is no rapture?
huh?

when he said
 
What I understand from the quote posted, the Rapture happens when Christ returns to pour out His wrath, but the second coming unfolds with the "consumation of the Kingdom, Israel's salvation, Armageddon, and the ushering in of the Millennial age."
