Many premillennialists and dispensationalists visualize this picture or something similar (basically Jesus suspended in the skies):
The preterist relies on scripture to interpret scripture; this is how the preterist interpret "coming in the clouds" (we don't visualize or paint with mental pictures!) :
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
Psalm 97:2
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:13-14
The burden of Egypt.
Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud,
and shall come into Egypt:
and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence,
and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
Isaiah 19:1
and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
Isaiah 19:4
