This term is use in Logic to find an argument fallible. Merriam-Webster says it mean, “having an uncertain or irregular outcome.” Collins Dictionary lists this as it synonyms: “equivocal; uncertain; changing; ambiguous.” Google’s AI Overview hits it on the head by stating, “In general, “amphibolic” means ambiguous, uncertain, or equivocal, particularly when referring to a statement or phrase where the meaning is unclear due to grammatical structure.” That goes on to explain as ambiguous: “The term “amphibolic” is often used to describe situations where the meaning is open to multiple interpretations. This can happen with language, where a sentence’s structure allows for different readings.” As to equivocation they show: “”Amphibolic” can also refer to language that uses words or phrases with multiple meanings, making it difficult to determine the speaker’s true intent.” All of these mean multiplicity of meaning leads to a flawed argument, thus lacking validity.
Television commercials are full of such lack of reasoning, speaking ambiguous words to zombies that will think that bull dung means something is worth buying. Some could then say the same about The Prophecies of Nostradamus, which has them laugh at the premise of prophecy, saying, that could mean anything.
Of course that is amphibolic, because “anything” is an impossibility, when one knows a written word has limitations as to what definitions can apply in usage.
Nostradamus addressed this in his epistle to King Henry II of France. At one point he wrote, “sans y avoir rien mis d’ambigue ne emphibologique calculation :,” which can be translated to say, “without here to have anything put with ambiguous not amphibologic calculation :“. This is a disclaimer that there is nothing in the letters or verses is uncertain or unclear due to grammatical structure. Still, it says everything is purposefully written to appear to be ambiguous and impossible to understand, due to multiplicity of word meanings.
This is why Jesus said, “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” (Matthew 11:25, KJV) That verse alone is an example of amphibolic wording. The “wise and prudent” read “Lord of heaven and earth” and think only in the physical planet “earth” and the space above as some distant “heaven.” The capitalized Greek word Kyrie can only be seen as a repeating of “Father” (a capitalized Pater), when the soul of Jesus is the “Lord” of the “soul,” which is where “heaven” is. The word “heaven” means the spiritual, while “earth” means the “physical,” as a “body of flesh” (made of dust from the “earth”). The “wise and prudent” read the words and think they known the meaning. However, they are wrong, as the truth is hidden from them. That makes “babes” be the innocent souls reborn from above, who cannot think for themselves. The obey what the “Lord” tells them. The “Lord” then speaks the truth of divine Scripture (which includes Nostradamus’ Prophecies) through the mouths of “babes.”
This means understanding Holy Scripture follows the same logical rules as does understanding The Prophecies of Nostradamus. It is divine syntax, not standard. The “wise and prudent” have made reading an automatic process, where their quick brains can read words and instantly know what the meaning is, while just as quickly reading some foreign language (like is divine syntax) and tossing the work away, huffing, “This is rubbish.”
This is why so many reject astrology. It is a divine language. It is an art, not a science. Astrology is amphibolic purposefully. If you do not know the language, you cannot understand anything stated simply. In the quatrains, Nostradamus referred to the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Every one of those words has nothing to do with a light or orb in the heavens. It requires understanding of what those words represent.
Astrology is not a science. It was disproved by the Roman Catholic Church, just because they could not figure out how to make sense of it, in order to profit from its use. Thank the Father from keeping those “wise and prudent” away from the truth of astrology that was hidden from them. The same goes for bonzos that try to act like astrologers, when they do not understand that astrology is like a mirror. It only reflects back to the one looking into it. What one sees in the mirror is not what someone else will see, when the mirror is handed to another to see. This means a mirror is amphibolic; but does that make it not something that can be put to good use, if used properly?
