I said nothing about "changing appearance". The fact you would think in that manner indicates you are still having trouble with Oneness, in that you are trying to reconcile Oneness with an innate sense of there being two "people". Christ is a man, the incarnation of God. As such He is not two persons, but one God existing in two realities, human and divine.
His human reality includes His reign as Messiah, the Son of David. It does not end. He does not cease to be the Son of David (Messiah). He will forever reign as Son of David, as Christ (Messiah). When His enemies have been defeated, He will have been victorious over all, and will present the now-subdued Kingdom to God as having been wholly pacified.
And the eternal purpose of God (which is God-manifestation) will stand forever. Oneness is, in fact, the only theology which actually makes sense of it all. And Oneness theology necessarily leads to the conclusion that Christ will reign AS CHRIST throughout the ages. Because the glorified Christ, the Incarnation of God, is the archetype of God-manifestation. And God-manifestation is THE Mystery of the apostolic faith.
