Part 2.
"FINDING" AND "RETAINING" DIVINE TRUTHS AS A PERMANENT POSSESSION
To be sure, Satan is doing everything in his power to "conquer" us all, just like a "roaring lion" would do when seeking prey. Therefore the only thing that can truly save us from such a fate, is the pursuit of Divine Truth, real truth from Almighty God. We must seek for it, as for gold and for silver, search for it as we would for "hidden treasure," the bible tells us. We must seek to understand God's Word, by constantly "knocking" for more understanding. -- Proverbs 2:3-6; 4:5-7; Matthew 7:7, 8
So, no doubt the primary way one can fully "conquer" Satan, is by searching out spiritual "truths", Divine Truths that formerly may have been long "hidden" from mankind in general, since the time of Jesus. Things Jesus called in many of his parables, the "Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom." -- Matthew 13:11; Romans 16:25-27
End of Part 2
Below is the structured, doctrinally precise continuation of your Part 2 analysis — and I will anchor it directly to the page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) because everything in this article ultimately funnels into the Lambkin doctrine, the symbolic fall of Satan, and the YORWW definition of “conquering” Satan.
No tools are needed here — this is pure doctrinal synthesis.
1. What Burney Is Doing in Part 2
Part 2 is Burney’s hermeneutical pivot.
He is shifting the reader from:
Literalist Watchtower eschatology
to
Symbolic, revelatory, “sacred‑secret” eschatology
This shift is essential because the Lambkin doctrine cannot function inside a literalist framework.
So Burney uses Revelation 12, Luke 10, and John 12 to argue:
The “casting out” of Satan is symbolic, not literal.
It happens whenever divine truth is revealed.
This is the interpretive key.
2. The Core Claim of Part 2
Burney argues:
A. Satan was “cast out” in the first century
—not literally, but symbolically—
when Jesus revealed sacred secrets to his disciples.
B. Therefore, the “casting out” in Revelation 12 must also be symbolic.
C. Therefore, the “casting out” in our day happens when the Lambkin reveals the hidden sacred secrets of God.
This is the doctrinal bridge between:
Luke 10:18 (“I saw Satan already fallen”)
John 12:31 (“the ruler of this world will be cast out”)
Revelation 12:9 (“the dragon was hurled down”)
Burney’s point:
All three refer to the same kind of event —
the defeat of Satan through revealed truth.
3. Why Burney Must Make the “Casting Out” Symbolic
Because the Lambkin doctrine requires it.
If Revelation 12 is literal:
Satan is literally expelled from heaven
Jesus is the one who defeats him
The Lambkin is unnecessary
The MDS is unnecessary
The Two‑Messiah doctrine collapses
But if Revelation 12 is symbolic:
The “casting out” = the revelation of hidden truth
The “conquering” = accepting that truth
The “Lamb” = the Lambkin (ἀρνίον), not Jesus
The “blood” = the Lambkin’s sacrificial role
The “testimony” = allegiance to the Lambkin
The “not loving their souls” = breaking from the Watch Tower
This is why Burney spends so much time proving:
Revelation must be read symbolically, not literally.
4. The Key Insight Burney Wants the Reader to See
Burney is building toward this conclusion:
**The “casting out” of Satan in Revelation 12
is the moment when the Lambkin reveals the Sacred Secret of God.**
This connects directly to:
Revelation 10:7 — “the sacred secret of God is finished”
Revelation 11:15 — “the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of His Christ”
2 Esdras 12:32 — the Messiah “kept until the end of days”
Isaiah 49:6 — the Servant restores Israel
Revelation 5:6 — the Lambkin appears “as though slain”
Burney’s logic:
The Lambkin’s revelation = Satan’s symbolic fall.
5. How Burney Uses Luke 10:17–21
Burney highlights:
Jesus reveals sacred secrets
The disciples receive them
Jesus says: “I saw Satan already fallen like lightning”
Burney’s interpretation:
Revealed truth = Satan’s fall.
This is the prototype for the Last Days.
6. How Burney Uses John 12:31
Jesus says:
“Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”
Burney argues:
This was not literal
Satan was not physically expelled
It was a spiritual defeat
Caused by the revelation of divine truth
Thus:
The “casting out” in Revelation 12 must also be symbolic.
7. How Burney Uses Revelation 12:9–11
Burney’s reading:
Revelation 12:9
Satan misleads the entire earth — until the Lambkin reveals truth.
Revelation 12:10
A new kingdom authority is announced — the Lambkin’s authority.
Revelation 12:11
The remnant conquers Satan by:
The blood of the Lambkin
The word of their testimony
Not loving their souls
This is the repentance protocol for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
8. The Doctrinal Chain Burney Is Building
Here is the full chain:
Step 1 — First century
Jesus reveals sacred secrets → Satan “falls like lightning.”
Step 2 — Last Days
The Lambkin reveals sacred secrets → Satan is “hurled down.”
Step 3 — Revelation 12
The remnant accepts the Lambkin’s truth → they “conquer” Satan.
Step 4 — Revelation 10:7
The Sacred Secret is finished → the Lambkin is revealed.
Step 5 — Revelation 11:15
The Lambkin receives the kingdom of the world.
Step 6 — 2 Esdras 12:32
The Lambkin = the Davidic Messiah kept until the end of days.
Step 7 — Isaiah 49
The Lambkin restores Israel (repentant JWs).
Step 8 — Revelation 5
The Lambkin appears “as though slain” — the Last‑Days sacrifice.
This is the complete YORWW eschatological system.
9. The Final Point Burney Is Making in Part 2
Burney ends Part 2 with this conclusion:
The only way to conquer Satan is to receive the hidden sacred secrets
revealed by the Lambkin in the Last Days.
This is why he says:
Seek truth like hidden treasure
Knock and keep knocking
Ask and keep asking
Receive the sacred secrets
Conquer Satan by revealed truth
This is the YORWW definition of conquering Satan.
If you want, I can now map:
How Part 2 leads directly into the Lambkin’s identity in Revelation 5
How the symbolic fall of Satan produces the Male Child
How the Lambkin’s revelation triggers the 7th trumpet (Rev 10:7)
Just tell me which direction you want to go.
Part 3 Continued ..............................
As many of Jehovah's Witnesses are beginning to find out, these Divine Truths we speak of, are actually teachings and "understandings" that apparently Jehovah and Jesus have "long hidden" not only from the world of mankind in general, but even from the Watctower Society and company too. Yes, with the passage of time, time has shown, the Watchtower Society still DOES NOT understand today these Sacred Truths, and bible prophecy.
But even so, that does not mean the true understanding of these spiritual "truths" can not be had by all who "call upon the Lord out of a clean heart," as "Israel" today. (2 Timothy 2:22) To be sure, all Jehovah's Witnesses of our time, who truly wish to know and are willing to search for these Divine Truths, can indeed find them and "conquer" Satan.
Jesus said,
"Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." -- Mathew 7:13, 14
Yes, "few are the ones FINDING IT." And we know, in order for one to "find" something, yes they must be actively LOOKING for it, yes searching for it. Indeed, searching for Divine Truths which they know, leads us to the road "leading off into life."
We remember, Jesus compared our search for Divine Truth to one who was willing to search the world over for the most exquisite treasure of his time. Referring his faithful followers to their real quest of searching out Godly "Sacred Secrets" and gaining possession of "true understanding" of such, Jesus said:
"The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field. Again The kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it." -- Matthew 13:44, 45
Today, we must feel the same way about "finding" real "hidden treasure" from God, as this "man" above was. He was willing to "sell" everything he had, to first of all...yes, "buy this field" which contained the "hidden treasure." He had to purchase first...the entire field itself. Therefore, Jesus recommended that we must be actively "seeking fine pearls" from God, as would be a "traveling merchant." So when finding such after much labor and effort, next we must be willing to sell "all the things" we have to buy it and, yes KEEP IT as our permanent possession! (Proverbs 23:23) No, we do not want to "sell truth" or sacrifice truth for any reason, allowing Satan, "during a time of testing" to possibly "overreach" us and "we fall from our own steadfastness!" To be sure, first century christians were constantly warned of this possibility, after they had learned "sacred secrets" from Jehovah. Think about it. -- Luke 8:13; 1 Corinthians 10:12; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 2 Peter 3:17
In other words, we must "highly esteem" this sacred "knowledge", the "sacred secrets of the kingdom," viewing it as precious, and finally be willing to make whatever sacrifice we can to make this "hidden treasure" our sole personal possession and yes, "retain it" permanently, as Jesus recommended. In this way, we can fully and completely "conquer" Satan. -- Proverbs 4:8; Luke 8:15
So, we must remember in "conquering" Satan, we have to be willing and prepared to "buy truth itself" and next, we should make it our sole permanent possession. Which means, we certainly do not want to "sell it" ... sacrifice it, no, not for any reason as Satan would want. (Proverbs 23:23) Jesus said we must always..."retain it", that is the "sacred secrets" given us by God. -- See Luke 8:15.
This is especially why Jesus instructed his disciples,
"and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -- John 8:32
Yes... "set you free..." yes, from a Jewish "world" [Greek: kosmos] that was completely controlled by Satan. Indeed, that is true. But also this Divine Truth "sets us free" ... free from demonic control of an ungodly "world" that we live in today. Yes, a global worldwide system where Satan is actually Chief "Ruler." Think about it. -- See John 12:31; 1 John 5:19.
Therefore in short, Jesus was saying above,
unless one comes to know and understand the "sacred secrets of the kingdom", and is always willing to keep it as his PERMANENT POSSESSION, no...one CANNOT be said to be "free", actually free from the Demonic Control of Satan the Devil!
Think about it...
Only in this way, can God's faithful servants of today truthfully say, we have indeed "conquered" Satan, the one who is "misleading the entire inhabited earth." -- Revelation 12:9
Therefore, it is imperative that all true servants of God, all Jehovah's Witnesses, all "Israel," come into true possession of real "truth", Divine Truth, the all-important UNDERSTANDING of the "sacred secrets of the kingdom," as taught by Jesus.
And if we are willing to do this, we will be able to say as Jesus did, who fully "conquered" Satan by his ministry of Divine Truth-Giving,
"...the ruler of this world [Satan] is coming, and he has no hold on me." -- John 14:30

Review Questions For Article: Let Us “Conquer” Satan by Accepting Divine Truth
1. What is the primary concern for lovers of Divine Truth today?
2. In Revelation 12:9, Satan is said to have “been hurled down to the earth” as in a future time. Does the Bible relate an event similar to this as having happened at a previous time?
3. What caused Satan to “fall like lightning” in Jesus’ day?
4. Contrary to what most religions teach about Satan’s fall from heaven, how should we view it?
5. In the first century, did Jesus make a connection between the casting of Satan out of the world over which he ruled and the conquering of him by his faithful disciples?
6. In our modern time, as with first century Christians, how can we fully conquer Satan?
7. With what did Jesus, in Matthew 13, 44, 45, compare the search for Divine Truth to?
8. After one finds Divine Truth, what attitude should he cultivate?
9. What freedom, as spoken of at John 8:32, will servants of Jehovah enjoy when they come to understand the “sacred secrets of the kingdom” as taught by Jesus?
Below is the structured, doctrinally precise continuation of your Part 3 material — and I will connect it directly to the Lambkin page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) because Part 3 is where Burney completes the logic that ties “conquering Satan” to the Lambkin’s revelation of Divine Truth.
This is the point where the entire YORWW system “locks in.”
1. What Part 3 Is Really Doing
Part 3 is Burney’s capstone argument:
The only way to conquer Satan is to FIND and RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
revealed by the Lambkin in the Last Days.
Everything in Part 1 and Part 2 was preparation for this conclusion.
Part 3 is where Burney:
Defines what “Divine Truth” is
Defines how it is “found”
Defines how it is “retained”
Defines how it “conquers Satan”
Defines why Jehovah’s Witnesses have failed
Defines why the Lambkin must appear
Defines why the Lambkin’s revelation = Satan’s fall
This is the doctrinal climax.
2. The Core Claim of Part 3
Burney argues:
A. Jehovah has hidden certain Divine Truths for centuries.
Not just from the world — but from the Watchtower Society itself.
B. These hidden truths are the “Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom.”
(Matthew 13:11)
C. These Sacred Secrets are the “treasure hidden in the field.”
(Matthew 13:44–45)
D. Only those who FIND and RETAIN these secrets can “conquer Satan.”
(Revelation 12:11)
E. These Sacred Secrets are revealed in the Last Days by the Lambkin.
(Revelation 5; Revelation 10:7; 2 Esdras 12)
This is the doctrinal engine of YORWW.
3. Why Burney Emphasizes “Finding” Divine Truth
Burney quotes:
Matthew 7:13–14 (“few are the ones finding it”)
Matthew 13:44–45 (treasure hidden in a field; pearl of high value)
Proverbs 2:3–6 (search for wisdom as for hidden treasure)
Proverbs 23:23 (“buy truth and do not sell it”)
His point:
Truth must be actively sought, not passively received.
This is a direct critique of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who:
Accept doctrine from the Governing Body
Do not search independently
Do not question
Do not “buy truth”
Do not “retain” truth
Therefore cannot “conquer Satan”
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan by obeying the Watchtower.
You conquer Satan by finding the Sacred Secrets the Watchtower never understood.
4. Why Burney Emphasizes “Retaining” Divine Truth
Burney quotes:
Luke 8:15 (“retain it and bear fruit with endurance”)
Proverbs 4:8 (“highly esteem her”)
Proverbs 23:23 (“buy truth and do not sell it”)
His point:
Finding truth is not enough.
You must keep it as your permanent possession.
This is the YORWW definition of loyalty:
Not loyalty to the Watchtower
Not loyalty to Jesus’ first‑century teachings alone
But loyalty to the new Sacred Secrets revealed by the Lambkin
This is why Burney says:
Truth must be retained permanently — or Satan will overreach you.
5. How Part 3 Connects to the Lambkin Doctrine
This is the key connection to your open tab.
The Lambkin page argues:
Jesus = ἀμνός (sacrificial Lamb)
Lambkin = ἀρνίον (a different figure)
Revelation uses ἀρνίον exclusively
The Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah
The Lambkin reveals the Sacred Secrets
The Lambkin’s revelation = Satan’s fall
The Lambkin’s blood = the power to conquer Satan
Part 3 is where Burney ties this together:
A. The Sacred Secrets = the Lambkin’s revelations
(Revelation 5:6–9; Revelation 10:7)
B. Finding the Sacred Secrets = recognizing the Lambkin
(2 Esdras 12:32)
C. Retaining the Sacred Secrets = loyalty to the Lambkin
(Luke 8:15)
D. Conquering Satan = accepting the Lambkin’s truth
(Revelation 12:11)
Thus:
The Lambkin’s revelation is the mechanism by which Satan is cast down.
This is the doctrinal heart of YORWW.
6. Why Burney Says “Truth Sets You Free” (John 8:32)
Burney interprets this as:
Truth frees you from the Jewish kosmos (first century)
Truth frees you from the Watchtower kosmos (modern day)
Truth frees you from Satan’s kosmos (global system)
But the truth that frees you is not:
Watchtower doctrine
Mainstream Christian doctrine
First‑century doctrine alone
It is:
The Sacred Secrets revealed by the Lambkin in the Last Days.
This is why Burney says:
Only those who understand the Sacred Secrets can be “free.”
7. The Final YORWW Definition of “Conquering Satan”
Here is the complete formula:
1. FIND the Sacred Secrets
= Recognize the Lambkin’s revelation.
2. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority.
3. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost.
4. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower.
5. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity.
6. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation.
7. CONQUER SATAN
= Because the Lambkin’s truth has “cast him down.”
This is the YORWW definition of victory.
8. How Part 3 Completes the Revelation 12 Framework
Part 3 ties everything together:
Revelation 12:9
Satan misleads the entire earth.
Revelation 12:10
A new authority is announced — the Lambkin’s authority.
Revelation 12:11
The remnant conquers Satan by:
The Lambkin’s blood
Their testimony about the Lambkin
Their willingness to lose everything
Revelation 12:17
The Dragon makes war with the remnant who keep the Lambkin’s commandments.
Part 3 explains how this happens:
By finding, buying, retaining, and testifying to the Sacred Secrets
revealed by the Lambkin.
If you want, I can now map:
How Part 3 leads directly into Revelation 5 (the Lambkin’s enthronement)
How the Sacred Secrets correspond to the sealed scroll
How the Male Child and Four Living Creatures emerge from this process
Just tell me which direction you want to go.
2. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority.
3. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost.
4. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower.
5. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity.
6. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation.2. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority.
3. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost.
4. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower.
5. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity.
6. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation. ............................ See Proverbs 23:23
Below is the clean, structured, doctrinally precise expansion of the six actions you listed — and I will anchor them directly to Proverbs 23:23, Revelation 12:11, and the Lambkin doctrine on the page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”).
This is the YORWW definition of “BUYING truth” and the YORWW pathway for “CONQUERING Satan.”
I. Proverbs 23:23 — The Foundation of the YORWW Protocol
“Buy truth, and do not sell it;
wisdom, discipline, and understanding.” — Proverbs 23:23
YORWW interprets this as a command:
Acquire Divine Truth
Retain Divine Truth
Never surrender Divine Truth
Endure with Divine Truth
This is the spiritual economics of the Last Days.
And in YORWW theology, the “truth” being bought is:
The Sacred Secrets revealed by the Lambkin (ἀρνίον).
This is why your six steps matter.
II. The Six Actions of Proverbs 23:23 in YORWW Theology
Below is the precise mapping of each action to the Lambkin doctrine and Revelation 12:11.
**1. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority**
To “buy truth” means:
Recognize the Lambkin (ἀρνίον) as the Last‑Days Messiah
Accept the Lambkin’s revelation of the Sacred Secret (Rev 10:7)
Accept the Lambkin’s identity as the Davidic heir (2 Esdras 12:32)
Accept the Lambkin’s role as judge, king, bridegroom, and covenant‑bearer
This is the transaction:
You give up Watchtower authority.
You receive Lambkin authority.
This is the first step in “conquering Satan.”
**2. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost**
This corresponds to:
Luke 8:15 (“retain it and bear fruit with endurance”)
Proverbs 4:8 (“highly esteem her”)
Proverbs 23:23 (“do not sell it”)
YORWW teaches:
Truth must become your permanent possession.
This means:
Do not abandon the Lambkin
Do not abandon the Two‑Messiah doctrine
Do not abandon the Sacred Secrets
Do not abandon the Lambkin’s covenant
This is the loyalty test.
**3. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower**
This is the second clause of Revelation 12:11:
“…because of the word of their testimony.”
YORWW teaches:
You must publicly acknowledge the Lambkin
You must publicly reject the Governing Body
You must publicly confess the Two‑Messiah doctrine
You must publicly identify the Watchtower as apostate Israel
This is the public witness that conquers Satan.
**4. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity**
This is the second half of Proverbs 23:23:
“Buy truth, and do not sell it.”
To “sell truth” means:
Return to Watchtower teachings
Return to mainstream Christian doctrine
Abandon the Lambkin
Abandon the Sacred Secrets
Abandon the Two‑Messiah doctrine
YORWW teaches:
Selling truth = losing your spiritual freedom.
This is the apostasy test.
**5. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation**
This corresponds to:
Luke 8:15 (“bear fruit with endurance”)
Matthew 7:14 (“cramped the road… few find it”)
John 14:30 (“he has no hold on me”)
YORWW teaches:
You will lose family
You will lose congregation
You will lose reputation
You will be isolated
You will be persecuted
But:
Endurance proves you have not “sold” the truth.
This is the endurance test.
III. How These Six Actions Fulfill Revelation 12:11
Revelation 12:11 says the remnant conquers Satan by:
1. The blood of the Lambkin
= Accepting the Lambkin’s authority (BUY)
2. The word of their testimony
= Public confession of the Lambkin (TESTIFY)
3. Not loving their souls even in the face of death
= Retaining, not selling, and enduring with the Sacred Secrets
(RETAIN + DO NOT SELL + ENDURE)
Thus:
Proverbs 23:23 = Revelation 12:11
in YORWW theology.
The six actions are the operational definition of “conquering Satan.”
IV. How These Six Actions Connect to the Lambkin Page You Have Open
Your active tab teaches:
Jesus = ἀμνός (adult sacrificial Lamb)
Lambkin = ἀρνίον (a different figure)
Revelation uses ἀρνίον exclusively
The Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah
The Lambkin reveals the Sacred Secret
The Lambkin’s blood empowers the remnant
The Lambkin’s authority begins at the 7th trumpet
Therefore:
Buying truth = accepting the Lambkin
Retaining truth = loyalty to the Lambkin
Testifying = confessing the Lambkin
Not selling = rejecting the Watchtower
Enduring = following the Lambkin through persecution
This is the Lambkin‑centered interpretation of Proverbs 23:23.
V. The Full YORWW “Conquer Satan” Protocol (Integrated)
1. BUY truth
→ Accept the Lambkin’s authority
2. RETAIN truth
→ Remain loyal to the Lambkin
3. TESTIFY to truth
→ Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower
4. DO NOT SELL truth
→ Never return to Watchtower or mainstream doctrine
5. ENDURE with truth
→ Remain faithful despite persecution
6. CONQUER SATAN
→ Because the Lambkin’s revelation has cast him down
This is the complete YORWW pathway.

[size=125]Part 2.
[b]"FINDING" AND "RETAINING" DIVINE TRUTHS AS A PERMANENT POSSESSION[/b]
To be sure, Satan is doing everything in his power to "conquer" us all, just like a "roaring lion" would do when seeking prey. Therefore the only thing that can truly save us from such a fate, is the pursuit of Divine Truth, real truth from Almighty God. We must seek for it, as for gold and for silver, search for it as we would for "hidden treasure," the bible tells us. We must seek to understand God's Word, by constantly "knocking" for more understanding. -- Proverbs 2:3-6; 4:5-7; Matthew 7:7, 8
So, no doubt the primary way one can fully "conquer" Satan, is by searching out spiritual "truths", Divine Truths that formerly may have been long "hidden" from mankind in general, since the time of Jesus. Things Jesus called in many of his parables, the "Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom." -- Matthew 13:11; Romans 16:25-27
End of Part 2
Below is the structured, doctrinally precise continuation of your Part 2 analysis — and I will anchor it directly to the page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) because everything in this article ultimately funnels into the Lambkin doctrine, the symbolic fall of Satan, and the YORWW definition of “conquering” Satan.
No tools are needed here — this is pure doctrinal synthesis.
1. What Burney Is Doing in Part 2
Part 2 is Burney’s hermeneutical pivot.
He is shifting the reader from:
Literalist Watchtower eschatology
to
Symbolic, revelatory, “sacred‑secret” eschatology
This shift is essential because the Lambkin doctrine cannot function inside a literalist framework.
So Burney uses Revelation 12, Luke 10, and John 12 to argue:
The “casting out” of Satan is symbolic, not literal.
It happens whenever divine truth is revealed.
This is the interpretive key.
2. The Core Claim of Part 2
Burney argues:
A. Satan was “cast out” in the first century
—not literally, but symbolically—
when Jesus revealed sacred secrets to his disciples.
B. Therefore, the “casting out” in Revelation 12 must also be symbolic.
C. Therefore, the “casting out” in our day happens when the Lambkin reveals the hidden sacred secrets of God.
This is the doctrinal bridge between:
Luke 10:18 (“I saw Satan already fallen”)
John 12:31 (“the ruler of this world will be cast out”)
Revelation 12:9 (“the dragon was hurled down”)
Burney’s point:
All three refer to the same kind of event —
the defeat of Satan through revealed truth.
3. Why Burney Must Make the “Casting Out” Symbolic
Because the Lambkin doctrine requires it.
If Revelation 12 is literal:
Satan is literally expelled from heaven
Jesus is the one who defeats him
The Lambkin is unnecessary
The MDS is unnecessary
The Two‑Messiah doctrine collapses
But if Revelation 12 is symbolic:
The “casting out” = the revelation of hidden truth
The “conquering” = accepting that truth
The “Lamb” = the Lambkin (ἀρνίον), not Jesus
The “blood” = the Lambkin’s sacrificial role
The “testimony” = allegiance to the Lambkin
The “not loving their souls” = breaking from the Watch Tower
This is why Burney spends so much time proving:
Revelation must be read symbolically, not literally.
4. The Key Insight Burney Wants the Reader to See
Burney is building toward this conclusion:
**The “casting out” of Satan in Revelation 12
is the moment when the Lambkin reveals the Sacred Secret of God.**
This connects directly to:
Revelation 10:7 — “the sacred secret of God is finished”
Revelation 11:15 — “the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of His Christ”
2 Esdras 12:32 — the Messiah “kept until the end of days”
Isaiah 49:6 — the Servant restores Israel
Revelation 5:6 — the Lambkin appears “as though slain”
Burney’s logic:
The Lambkin’s revelation = Satan’s symbolic fall.
5. How Burney Uses Luke 10:17–21
Burney highlights:
Jesus reveals sacred secrets
The disciples receive them
Jesus says: “I saw Satan already fallen like lightning”
Burney’s interpretation:
Revealed truth = Satan’s fall.
This is the prototype for the Last Days.
6. How Burney Uses John 12:31
Jesus says:
“Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”
Burney argues:
This was not literal
Satan was not physically expelled
It was a spiritual defeat
Caused by the revelation of divine truth
Thus:
The “casting out” in Revelation 12 must also be symbolic.
7. How Burney Uses Revelation 12:9–11
Burney’s reading:
Revelation 12:9
Satan misleads the entire earth — until the Lambkin reveals truth.
Revelation 12:10
A new kingdom authority is announced — the Lambkin’s authority.
Revelation 12:11
The remnant conquers Satan by:
The blood of the Lambkin
The word of their testimony
Not loving their souls
This is the repentance protocol for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
8. The Doctrinal Chain Burney Is Building
Here is the full chain:
Step 1 — First century
Jesus reveals sacred secrets → Satan “falls like lightning.”
Step 2 — Last Days
The Lambkin reveals sacred secrets → Satan is “hurled down.”
Step 3 — Revelation 12
The remnant accepts the Lambkin’s truth → they “conquer” Satan.
Step 4 — Revelation 10:7
The Sacred Secret is finished → the Lambkin is revealed.
Step 5 — Revelation 11:15
The Lambkin receives the kingdom of the world.
Step 6 — 2 Esdras 12:32
The Lambkin = the Davidic Messiah kept until the end of days.
Step 7 — Isaiah 49
The Lambkin restores Israel (repentant JWs).
Step 8 — Revelation 5
The Lambkin appears “as though slain” — the Last‑Days sacrifice.
This is the complete YORWW eschatological system.
9. The Final Point Burney Is Making in Part 2
Burney ends Part 2 with this conclusion:
The only way to conquer Satan is to receive the hidden sacred secrets
revealed by the Lambkin in the Last Days.
This is why he says:
Seek truth like hidden treasure
Knock and keep knocking
Ask and keep asking
Receive the sacred secrets
Conquer Satan by revealed truth
This is the YORWW definition of conquering Satan.
If you want, I can now map:
How Part 2 leads directly into the Lambkin’s identity in Revelation 5
How the symbolic fall of Satan produces the Male Child
How the Lambkin’s revelation triggers the 7th trumpet (Rev 10:7)
Just tell me which direction you want to go.
Part 3 Continued ..............................
As many of Jehovah's Witnesses are beginning to find out, these Divine Truths we speak of, are actually teachings and "understandings" that apparently Jehovah and Jesus have "long hidden" not only from the world of mankind in general, but even from the Watctower Society and company too. Yes, with the passage of time, time has shown, the Watchtower Society still DOES NOT understand today these Sacred Truths, and bible prophecy.
But even so, that does not mean the true understanding of these spiritual "truths" can not be had by all who "call upon the Lord out of a clean heart," as "Israel" today. (2 Timothy 2:22) To be sure, all Jehovah's Witnesses of our time, who truly wish to know and are willing to search for these Divine Truths, can indeed find them and "conquer" Satan.
Jesus said,
"Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." -- Mathew 7:13, 14
Yes, "few are the ones FINDING IT." And we know, in order for one to "find" something, yes they must be actively LOOKING for it, yes searching for it. Indeed, searching for Divine Truths which they know, leads us to the road "leading off into life."
We remember, Jesus compared our search for Divine Truth to one who was willing to search the world over for the most exquisite treasure of his time. Referring his faithful followers to their real quest of searching out Godly "Sacred Secrets" and gaining possession of "true understanding" of such, Jesus said:
"The kingdom of the heavens is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid; and for the joy he has he goes and sells what things he has and buys that field. Again The kingdom of the heavens is like a traveling merchant seeking fine pearls. Upon finding one pearl of high value, away he went and promptly sold all the things he had and bought it." -- Matthew 13:44, 45
Today, we must feel the same way about "finding" real "hidden treasure" from God, as this "man" above was. He was willing to "sell" everything he had, to first of all...yes, "buy this field" which contained the "hidden treasure." He had to purchase first...the entire field itself. Therefore, Jesus recommended that we must be actively "seeking fine pearls" from God, as would be a "traveling merchant." So when finding such after much labor and effort, next we must be willing to sell "all the things" we have to buy it and, yes KEEP IT as our permanent possession! (Proverbs 23:23) No, we do not want to "sell truth" or sacrifice truth for any reason, allowing Satan, "during a time of testing" to possibly "overreach" us and "we fall from our own steadfastness!" To be sure, first century christians were constantly warned of this possibility, after they had learned "sacred secrets" from Jehovah. Think about it. -- Luke 8:13; 1 Corinthians 10:12; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 2 Peter 3:17
In other words, we must "highly esteem" this sacred "knowledge", the "sacred secrets of the kingdom," viewing it as precious, and finally be willing to make whatever sacrifice we can to make this "hidden treasure" our sole personal possession and yes, "retain it" permanently, as Jesus recommended. In this way, we can fully and completely "conquer" Satan. -- Proverbs 4:8; Luke 8:15
So, we must remember in "conquering" Satan, we have to be willing and prepared to "buy truth itself" and next, we should make it our sole permanent possession. Which means, we certainly do not want to "sell it" ... sacrifice it, no, not for any reason as Satan would want. (Proverbs 23:23) Jesus said we must always..."retain it", that is the "sacred secrets" given us by God. -- See Luke 8:15.
This is especially why Jesus instructed his disciples,
"and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." -- John 8:32
Yes... "set you free..." yes, from a Jewish "world" [Greek: kosmos] that was completely controlled by Satan. Indeed, that is true. But also this Divine Truth "sets us free" ... free from demonic control of an ungodly "world" that we live in today. Yes, a global worldwide system where Satan is actually Chief "Ruler." Think about it. -- See John 12:31; 1 John 5:19.
Therefore in short, Jesus was saying above,
unless one comes to know and understand the "sacred secrets of the kingdom", and is always willing to keep it as his PERMANENT POSSESSION, no...one CANNOT be said to be "free", actually free from the Demonic Control of Satan the Devil!
Think about it...
Only in this way, can God's faithful servants of today truthfully say, we have indeed "conquered" Satan, the one who is "misleading the entire inhabited earth." -- Revelation 12:9
Therefore, it is imperative that all true servants of God, all Jehovah's Witnesses, all "Israel," come into true possession of real "truth", Divine Truth, the all-important UNDERSTANDING of the "sacred secrets of the kingdom," as taught by Jesus.
And if we are willing to do this, we will be able to say as Jesus did, who fully "conquered" Satan by his ministry of Divine Truth-Giving,
"...the ruler of this world [Satan] is coming, and he has no hold on me." -- John 14:30

Review Questions For Article: Let Us “Conquer” Satan by Accepting Divine Truth
1. What is the primary concern for lovers of Divine Truth today?
2. In Revelation 12:9, Satan is said to have “been hurled down to the earth” as in a future time. Does the Bible relate an event similar to this as having happened at a previous time?
3. What caused Satan to “fall like lightning” in Jesus’ day?
4. Contrary to what most religions teach about Satan’s fall from heaven, how should we view it?
5. In the first century, did Jesus make a connection between the casting of Satan out of the world over which he ruled and the conquering of him by his faithful disciples?
6. In our modern time, as with first century Christians, how can we fully conquer Satan?
7. With what did Jesus, in Matthew 13, 44, 45, compare the search for Divine Truth to?
8. After one finds Divine Truth, what attitude should he cultivate?
9. What freedom, as spoken of at John 8:32, will servants of Jehovah enjoy when they come to understand the “sacred secrets of the kingdom” as taught by Jesus?
Below is the structured, doctrinally precise continuation of your Part 3 material — and I will connect it directly to the Lambkin page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) because Part 3 is where Burney completes the logic that ties “conquering Satan” to the Lambkin’s revelation of Divine Truth.
This is the point where the entire YORWW system “locks in.”
1. What Part 3 Is Really Doing
Part 3 is Burney’s capstone argument:
The only way to conquer Satan is to FIND and RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
revealed by the Lambkin in the Last Days.
Everything in Part 1 and Part 2 was preparation for this conclusion.
Part 3 is where Burney:
Defines what “Divine Truth” is
Defines how it is “found”
Defines how it is “retained”
Defines how it “conquers Satan”
Defines why Jehovah’s Witnesses have failed
Defines why the Lambkin must appear
Defines why the Lambkin’s revelation = Satan’s fall
This is the doctrinal climax.
2. The Core Claim of Part 3
Burney argues:
A. Jehovah has hidden certain Divine Truths for centuries.
Not just from the world — but from the Watchtower Society itself.
B. These hidden truths are the “Sacred Secrets of the Kingdom.”
(Matthew 13:11)
C. These Sacred Secrets are the “treasure hidden in the field.”
(Matthew 13:44–45)
D. Only those who FIND and RETAIN these secrets can “conquer Satan.”
(Revelation 12:11)
E. These Sacred Secrets are revealed in the Last Days by the Lambkin.
(Revelation 5; Revelation 10:7; 2 Esdras 12)
This is the doctrinal engine of YORWW.
3. Why Burney Emphasizes “Finding” Divine Truth
Burney quotes:
Matthew 7:13–14 (“few are the ones finding it”)
Matthew 13:44–45 (treasure hidden in a field; pearl of high value)
Proverbs 2:3–6 (search for wisdom as for hidden treasure)
Proverbs 23:23 (“buy truth and do not sell it”)
His point:
Truth must be actively sought, not passively received.
This is a direct critique of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who:
Accept doctrine from the Governing Body
Do not search independently
Do not question
Do not “buy truth”
Do not “retain” truth
Therefore cannot “conquer Satan”
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan by obeying the Watchtower.
You conquer Satan by finding the Sacred Secrets the Watchtower never understood.
4. Why Burney Emphasizes “Retaining” Divine Truth
Burney quotes:
Luke 8:15 (“retain it and bear fruit with endurance”)
Proverbs 4:8 (“highly esteem her”)
Proverbs 23:23 (“buy truth and do not sell it”)
His point:
Finding truth is not enough.
You must keep it as your permanent possession.
This is the YORWW definition of loyalty:
Not loyalty to the Watchtower
Not loyalty to Jesus’ first‑century teachings alone
But loyalty to the new Sacred Secrets revealed by the Lambkin
This is why Burney says:
Truth must be retained permanently — or Satan will overreach you.
5. How Part 3 Connects to the Lambkin Doctrine
This is the key connection to your open tab.
The Lambkin page argues:
Jesus = ἀμνός (sacrificial Lamb)
Lambkin = ἀρνίον (a different figure)
Revelation uses ἀρνίον exclusively
The Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah
The Lambkin reveals the Sacred Secrets
The Lambkin’s revelation = Satan’s fall
The Lambkin’s blood = the power to conquer Satan
Part 3 is where Burney ties this together:
A. The Sacred Secrets = the Lambkin’s revelations
(Revelation 5:6–9; Revelation 10:7)
B. Finding the Sacred Secrets = recognizing the Lambkin
(2 Esdras 12:32)
C. Retaining the Sacred Secrets = loyalty to the Lambkin
(Luke 8:15)
D. Conquering Satan = accepting the Lambkin’s truth
(Revelation 12:11)
Thus:
The Lambkin’s revelation is the mechanism by which Satan is cast down.
This is the doctrinal heart of YORWW.
6. Why Burney Says “Truth Sets You Free” (John 8:32)
Burney interprets this as:
Truth frees you from the Jewish kosmos (first century)
Truth frees you from the Watchtower kosmos (modern day)
Truth frees you from Satan’s kosmos (global system)
But the truth that frees you is not:
Watchtower doctrine
Mainstream Christian doctrine
First‑century doctrine alone
It is:
The Sacred Secrets revealed by the Lambkin in the Last Days.
This is why Burney says:
Only those who understand the Sacred Secrets can be “free.”
7. The Final YORWW Definition of “Conquering Satan”
Here is the complete formula:
1. FIND the Sacred Secrets
= Recognize the Lambkin’s revelation.
2. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority.
3. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost.
4. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower.
5. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity.
6. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation.
7. CONQUER SATAN
= Because the Lambkin’s truth has “cast him down.”
This is the YORWW definition of victory.
8. How Part 3 Completes the Revelation 12 Framework
Part 3 ties everything together:
Revelation 12:9
Satan misleads the entire earth.
Revelation 12:10
A new authority is announced — the Lambkin’s authority.
Revelation 12:11
The remnant conquers Satan by:
The Lambkin’s blood
Their testimony about the Lambkin
Their willingness to lose everything
Revelation 12:17
The Dragon makes war with the remnant who keep the Lambkin’s commandments.
Part 3 explains how this happens:
By finding, buying, retaining, and testifying to the Sacred Secrets
revealed by the Lambkin.
If you want, I can now map:
How Part 3 leads directly into Revelation 5 (the Lambkin’s enthronement)
How the Sacred Secrets correspond to the sealed scroll
How the Male Child and Four Living Creatures emerge from this process
Just tell me which direction you want to go.
2. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority.
3. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost.
4. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower.
5. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity.
6. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation.2. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority.
3. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost.
4. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower.
5. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity.
6. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation. ............................ See Proverbs 23:23
Below is the clean, structured, doctrinally precise expansion of the six actions you listed — and I will anchor them directly to Proverbs 23:23, Revelation 12:11, and the Lambkin doctrine on the page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”).
This is the YORWW definition of “BUYING truth” and the YORWW pathway for “CONQUERING Satan.”
I. Proverbs 23:23 — The Foundation of the YORWW Protocol
“Buy truth, and do not sell it;
wisdom, discipline, and understanding.” — Proverbs 23:23
YORWW interprets this as a command:
Acquire Divine Truth
Retain Divine Truth
Never surrender Divine Truth
Endure with Divine Truth
This is the spiritual economics of the Last Days.
And in YORWW theology, the “truth” being bought is:
The Sacred Secrets revealed by the Lambkin (ἀρνίον).
This is why your six steps matter.
II. The Six Actions of Proverbs 23:23 in YORWW Theology
Below is the precise mapping of each action to the Lambkin doctrine and Revelation 12:11.
**1. BUY the Sacred Secrets
= Accept the Lambkin’s authority**
To “buy truth” means:
Recognize the Lambkin (ἀρνίον) as the Last‑Days Messiah
Accept the Lambkin’s revelation of the Sacred Secret (Rev 10:7)
Accept the Lambkin’s identity as the Davidic heir (2 Esdras 12:32)
Accept the Lambkin’s role as judge, king, bridegroom, and covenant‑bearer
This is the transaction:
You give up Watchtower authority.
You receive Lambkin authority.
This is the first step in “conquering Satan.”
**2. RETAIN the Sacred Secrets
= Remain loyal to the Lambkin regardless of cost**
This corresponds to:
Luke 8:15 (“retain it and bear fruit with endurance”)
Proverbs 4:8 (“highly esteem her”)
Proverbs 23:23 (“do not sell it”)
YORWW teaches:
Truth must become your permanent possession.
This means:
Do not abandon the Lambkin
Do not abandon the Two‑Messiah doctrine
Do not abandon the Sacred Secrets
Do not abandon the Lambkin’s covenant
This is the loyalty test.
**3. TESTIFY to the Sacred Secrets
= Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower**
This is the second clause of Revelation 12:11:
“…because of the word of their testimony.”
YORWW teaches:
You must publicly acknowledge the Lambkin
You must publicly reject the Governing Body
You must publicly confess the Two‑Messiah doctrine
You must publicly identify the Watchtower as apostate Israel
This is the public witness that conquers Satan.
**4. DO NOT SELL the Sacred Secrets
= Do not return to Watchtower doctrine or mainstream Christianity**
This is the second half of Proverbs 23:23:
“Buy truth, and do not sell it.”
To “sell truth” means:
Return to Watchtower teachings
Return to mainstream Christian doctrine
Abandon the Lambkin
Abandon the Sacred Secrets
Abandon the Two‑Messiah doctrine
YORWW teaches:
Selling truth = losing your spiritual freedom.
This is the apostasy test.
**5. ENDURE with the Sacred Secrets
= Remain faithful during persecution and isolation**
This corresponds to:
Luke 8:15 (“bear fruit with endurance”)
Matthew 7:14 (“cramped the road… few find it”)
John 14:30 (“he has no hold on me”)
YORWW teaches:
You will lose family
You will lose congregation
You will lose reputation
You will be isolated
You will be persecuted
But:
Endurance proves you have not “sold” the truth.
This is the endurance test.
III. How These Six Actions Fulfill Revelation 12:11
Revelation 12:11 says the remnant conquers Satan by:
1. The blood of the Lambkin
= Accepting the Lambkin’s authority (BUY)
2. The word of their testimony
= Public confession of the Lambkin (TESTIFY)
3. Not loving their souls even in the face of death
= Retaining, not selling, and enduring with the Sacred Secrets
(RETAIN + DO NOT SELL + ENDURE)
Thus:
Proverbs 23:23 = Revelation 12:11
in YORWW theology.
The six actions are the operational definition of “conquering Satan.”
IV. How These Six Actions Connect to the Lambkin Page You Have Open
Your active tab teaches:
Jesus = ἀμνός (adult sacrificial Lamb)
Lambkin = ἀρνίον (a different figure)
Revelation uses ἀρνίον exclusively
The Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah
The Lambkin reveals the Sacred Secret
The Lambkin’s blood empowers the remnant
The Lambkin’s authority begins at the 7th trumpet
Therefore:
Buying truth = accepting the Lambkin
Retaining truth = loyalty to the Lambkin
Testifying = confessing the Lambkin
Not selling = rejecting the Watchtower
Enduring = following the Lambkin through persecution
This is the Lambkin‑centered interpretation of Proverbs 23:23.
V. The Full YORWW “Conquer Satan” Protocol (Integrated)
1. BUY truth
→ Accept the Lambkin’s authority
2. RETAIN truth
→ Remain loyal to the Lambkin
3. TESTIFY to truth
→ Publicly confess the Lambkin and denounce the Watchtower
4. DO NOT SELL truth
→ Never return to Watchtower or mainstream doctrine
5. ENDURE with truth
→ Remain faithful despite persecution
6. CONQUER SATAN
→ Because the Lambkin’s revelation has cast him down
This is the complete YORWW pathway.
