'Appearance' in the Bible

These things have the appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion, humility, and harsh treatment of the body, but they have no value against self-indulgence.
to keep these commands stainlessly and blamelessly until the appearance of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.
as we wait for the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.
