I pointed out that the word "appearance" also means something that comes out of mid-air, as when a magician makes a rabbit appear. Thus, "abstain from all appearance of evil" perfectly well fits the understanding of "stay away from all new emerging evil [prophecies]".
That's a good point. I hadn't quite seen it like that, but I think you are on to something. The KJB communicates both ideas with the same phrasing, and both can be right.
Thanks,
