'Expectation' in the Bible

Now while the people were in a state of expectation and all were wondering in their hearts about John, as to whether he was the Christ,

men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.
