Definition: The word "ambulomancy" in the Greek New Testament means to be or become ill, or to undergo a serious illness (as an indication that one is under the influence of disease). It is associated with the concept of the sick state, which was a condition described by Jesus as being present on earth. In the context of the Bible, "ambulomancy" refers to being physically ill, having sickness, or suffering from a serious illness. This term was often used figuratively in the Old Testament to describe God's judgment upon sinners (Isaiah 53:7-8). In the New Testament, it is frequently applied metaphorically as a sign of impending judgment. The specific meaning and context of "ambulomancy" in the Greek New Testament are not fully understood. The term may have been used metaphorically or literally to suggest that some sins were being committed with an intention or intent to cause physical harm or distress upon those who had sinned against God's people, as seen in the context of Matthew 10:38-40 and Matthew 25:31-35. In summary, "ambulomancy" is a metaphorical expression used in the New Testament to refer to being under divine judgment, either physical or spiritual. It often conveys the idea that sins would have dire consequences for those who had committed them, with no discernible intent or intention of suffering on their part.
