Which evidence is there that Marcion expected the Parousia after the coming of the Jewish Christ?

I would be curious about this evidence (if it is there really, because a valid alternative is that this world will be forever ruled by the demiurge, for Marcion).
Since this may give a dating of the Gospel of Marcion after the Bar Kochba's Revolt, being just him, Bar Kochba, the True Jewish Messiah of which the recent defeat, according to Marcion, would have preceded shortly the Parousia of the his Christ.
This may be the reason Marcion was moved to write his Gospel: the Good News have to be given, because the Jewish Messiah is arrived and is been defeated, ''therefore'' the Christ will return soon.
And if the Little Apocalypse of Mark 13 was in the Euangelion, then the 'abomination of desolation' would be Bar Kochba who proclaims himself Messiah in the Temple (so de facto ruling the entire world from there in the name of the his Lord), the 'abort' Messiah of the Demiurge (moving so the Judaizers to call Paul an 'abort' in the his same epistle).
