Do Apostolics expect the Second Coming soon?

I remember back in my late teenage years (during the Disco Era, which on some days feels as long ago as the Jurassic) that preachers used to talk about how Jesus was coming back Real Soon Now. It was a big reason used by preachers during the altar call to get people down to the altar. "Y'all need to get right with JESUS!" and so on. I know it was a huge part of my mental imagination and I had dreams/nightmares that I'd missed the Rapture because I wasn't entirely faithful.

Granted, my experience today is rather minimal, but it just seems to me that Apostolic people don't seem to be hoping so much for Jesus to come back. It seems like it's gone from "Not of this world" and "Don't worry about that, Jesus is coming soon" to "Let's change the world by (various actions)."

What do you all think?

No..I do not..I believe Matthew 24 has been fulfilled.
