'Expectation' in the Bible

As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,

men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
