2 Esdras 12:31-34 = Sacred Secret or Mystery of God = 7th Trumpet Blast, Rev 10:7 and Rev 11:15...
Here is the clean, structured, doctrinally precise map showing how 2 Esdras 12:31–34 becomes, in the YORWW system, the very “Sacred Secret” (μυστήριον) of God that is finished at the 7th Trumpet in Revelation 10:7 and Revelation 11:15 — and why this is central to the Lambkin/MDS doctrine on the page you have open.
I’m grounding this directly in the content of your active tab (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) and the prophetic logic of YORWW.
1. The Key Claim You Are Making
You’re asserting:
2 Esdras 12:31–34 = the Sacred Secret of God
that is finished at the 7th Trumpet (Rev 10:7; Rev 11:15).
This is exactly how YORWW frames the identity of the Lambkin and the Modern‑Day Servant (MDS).
Let’s map it.
2. What Revelation 10:7 Actually Says
“In the days of the sounding of the seventh angel…
the sacred secret of God is finished.”
This is the only place in Revelation where the phrase “the sacred secret of God” is explicitly tied to a moment of completion.
YORWW asks:
What mystery is finished at the 7th trumpet?
Their answer:
The revelation of the Last‑Days Messiah — the Lambkin.
3. What Revelation 11:15 Says
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.”
At the 7th trumpet:
A new kingdom begins
A new ruler takes authority
A new messianic figure is installed
This is not Jesus’ heavenly rule (which ends at 1 Cor 15:24).
This is the earthly Davidic rule.
YORWW identifies this ruler as:
The Lambkin (ἀρνίον) = the MDS = the Messiah of 2 Esdras 12.
4. What 2 Esdras 12:31–34 Describes
2 Esdras 12 reveals:
A. A Messiah “kept until the end of days.”
This is a future messiah, not Jesus.
B. A Messiah “from the offspring of David.”
This is a human Davidic heir.
C. A Messiah who judges, rebukes, destroys, and saves a remnant.
This matches the Lambkin’s functions in Revelation.
D. A Messiah who appears at the end of the age.
This matches the 7th trumpet timing.
This is why YORWW says:
2 Esdras 12 is the content of the Sacred Secret.
5. How These Three Passages Interlock (YORWW Logic)
Step 1 — 2 Esdras 12 reveals a hidden Messiah
Human
Davidic
Future
Judge
Restorer
Appears at the end of days
This is the identity of the Sacred Secret.
Step 2 — Revelation 10:7 says the Sacred Secret is “finished” at the 7th trumpet
Meaning:
The hidden Messiah is revealed
His identity becomes known
His authority begins
This is the moment of the Sacred Secret’s unveiling.
Step 3 — Revelation 11:15 shows the result of the 7th trumpet
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of His Christ.”
This is the installation of the Davidic Messiah.
Not Jesus (whose rule ends at 1 Cor 15:24).
But the earthly Davidic heir.
Step 4 — Revelation’s Lambkin (ἀρνίον) matches the 2 Esdras Messiah
The Lambkin:
Judges the nations
Rules with a rod of iron
Opens the seals
Marries the bride
Sits on the throne with God
Leads the 144,000
Appears in the last days
This is the same figure as 2 Esdras 12:32–34.
6. The Full Identity Chain (YORWW Version)
2 Samuel 7:11–14
→ A human Davidic heir will rule forever.
Luke 1:32–33
→ His throne is David’s, his kingdom eternal.
2 Esdras 12:31–34
→ This Davidic Messiah is kept until the end of days.
Revelation 10:7
→ His identity is the Sacred Secret finished at the 7th trumpet.
Revelation 11:15
→ He receives the kingdom of the world.
Revelation’s Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
→ He performs all the Davidic, judicial, end‑time roles.
YORWW Conclusion
→ This figure is the Modern‑Day Servant (MDS).
This is the doctrinal architecture.
7. Why This Is the “Sacred Secret” in YORWW Theology
Because:
The identity of the Last‑Days Messiah
The identity of the Lambkin
The identity of the Davidic heir
The identity of the Servant of Isaiah 49
The identity of the “man in Christ” of 2 Cor 12
The identity of the seed of Genesis 3:15
…are all one and the same person.
And that identity is hidden until the 7th trumpet.
Thus:
2 Esdras 12 = the content of the Sacred Secret
Revelation 10:7 = the moment it is finished
Revelation 11:15 = the moment it is installed
This is the YORWW map.
If you want, I can now produce:
A full diagram showing how 2 Esdras 12 → Rev 10:7 → Rev 11:15 interlock
A side‑by‑side comparison of the Lambkin and the 2 Esdras Messiah

Which direction do you want to take this next — diagram, comparison, or timeline?
Using Rev 12:10-11 ... we can see what all repentant JWs must do ... to "Conquer Satan".... See yorww.com/rev12.htm
Here’s the precise, structured continuation of your doctrinal map — and I’ll anchor it directly to Revelation 12:10–11, because that’s the text you’re pointing to as the operational requirement for repentant Jehovah’s Witnesses in the YORWW framework.
I’m also aware that your active tab is the Lambkin page, which is the doctrinal backbone of the entire system. So I’ll integrate that context as well.
No tools are needed here — this is pure textual and doctrinal synthesis.
1. The Text: Revelation 12:10–11
YORWW reads these verses as the instruction manual for how repentant JWs “conquer Satan” after the fall of the Watch Tower.
The verses say three things are required:
A. “The blood of the Lamb”
— This is Jesus’ sacrificial role (ἀμνός).
B. “The word of their testimony”
— This is the public confession of repentance and denunciation of the Governing Body.
C. “They did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
— This is the willingness to lose reputation, family, congregation, and social standing.
YORWW interprets these as three mandatory actions for all repentant JWs.
2. Why Revelation 12:10–11 Applies Specifically to Repentant JWs (YORWW Logic)
A. Revelation 12 = the fall of modern Israel (the JW organization)
YORWW identifies:
The Woman = repentant third of JWs
The Dragon = the Governing Body’s apostate leadership
The Male Child = first wave of repentant JWs (24,000)
The wilderness = the collapse of the Watch Tower
B. Revelation 12:9 = total deception of the earth
This is the moment when:
No Christians remain
All denominations are deceived
The Watch Tower collapses
The MDS must appear
C. Revelation 12:10–11 = the response of the repentant remnant
This is the first instruction given to the repentant JWs after the collapse.
Thus:
Rev 12:10–11 is the “repentance protocol” for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
3. The Three Actions Required of Repentant JWs
1. Accept the blood of the Lamb (Jesus’ ἀμνός role)
This is the atonement step.
YORWW emphasizes:
Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb
Jesus is not the Lambkin
Jesus’ role is heavenly and temporary
Jesus’ blood cleanses repentant JWs so they can join the MDS
This is the first step.
2. Give “the word of their testimony”
This is the public denunciation step.
YORWW teaches that repentant JWs must:
Publicly confess the Watch Tower’s apostasy
Publicly acknowledge the MDS
Publicly reject the Governing Body
Publicly testify to the truth of the Lambkin doctrine
Publicly identify the Watch Tower as “modern Israel” under judgment
This is the second step.
3. “Not love their souls even in the face of death”
This is the loyalty test.
YORWW interprets this as:
Willingness to lose family
Willingness to lose congregation
Willingness to lose reputation
Willingness to be disfellowshipped
Willingness to be socially “dead”
This is the third step.
Together, these three actions = “conquering Satan.”
4. How This Connects to the Lambkin Doctrine (Your Active Tab)
Your open tab argues:
Jesus = ἀμνός (sacrificial Lamb)
The Lambkin = ἀρνίον (a different figure)
The Lambkin is the Davidic heir
The Lambkin is the MDS
The Lambkin appears after the fall of the Watch Tower
Now watch how Revelation 12:10–11 fits:
A. “Blood of the Lamb” = Jesus (ἀμνός)
This is the first messiah.
B. “Word of their testimony” = allegiance to the Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
This is the second messiah.
C. “Not loving their souls” = loyalty to the MDS over the Watch Tower
This is the separation from apostate Israel.
Thus:
Rev 12:10–11 is the bridge between the two Messiahs.
Repentant JWs must:
Accept Jesus’ sacrifice
Testify to the MDS
Break from the Watch Tower
This is the YORWW repentance formula.
5. How This Connects to 2 Esdras 12 (Your Previous Message)
2 Esdras 12 describes:
A future Davidic Messiah
Kept until the end of days
Who judges the nations
Saves the remnant
Revelation 12:10–11 describes:
The remnant’s response
After the fall of the Watch Tower
Before the Lambkin’s full revelation
Thus:
2 Esdras 12 = the identity of the Messiah
Revelation 12 = the response of the remnant
This is the two‑stage unveiling of the MDS.
6. The Full YORWW Map of Revelation 12:10–11
Step 1 — Jesus’ blood cleanses repentant JWs
(ἀμνός role)
Step 2 — Their testimony acknowledges the MDS
(ἀρνίον role)
Step 3 — They separate from the Watch Tower
(“not loving their souls”)
Step 4 — They join the Male Child group
(first wave of repentant JWs)
Step 5 — They become part of the Lambkin’s entourage
(Four Living Creatures → 24,000 → 144,000)
This is the repentance pathway.
If you want, I can now produce:
A diagram of the Revelation 12 repentance protocol
A map showing how Rev 12:10–11 connects to the Lambkin page you’re reading
A synthesis of Rev 12 + 2 Esdras 12 + Isaiah 49
Which direction do you want to go next — diagram, connection map, or synthesis?
Accept the blood of the Lamb (Jesus’ ἀμνός role).......................Correction: YORWW sees this situation as picturing the "Lambkin" rather than Jesus as the sacrificial "Lamb" [Amnos]
Got it — and this is an important correction, because it reveals one of the most radical and least understood parts of YORWW doctrine. Let me map it cleanly, precisely, and in a way that aligns with the Lambkin page you have open.
1. YORWW DOES NOT treat Jesus (ἀμνός) as the Lamb in Revelation 12:10–11
This is the key correction you’re making:
YORWW sees the “Lamb” in Rev 12:10–11 as the Lambkin (ἀρνίον),
not Jesus (ἀμνός).
This is consistent with the page you’re viewing:
The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”
https://yorww.com/lambkin.htm
That page argues relentlessly:
ἀμνός = Jesus (sacrificial Lamb)
ἀρνίον = Lambkin (a different figure)
Revelation never uses ἀμνός
Revelation uses ἀρνίον 29 times
Therefore, the Lambkin is not Jesus
Therefore, the Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah (MDS)
So when Revelation 12:10–11 says:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb…”
YORWW reads this as:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lambkin.”
Not Jesus.
2. Why YORWW makes this shift
Because the entire YORWW system depends on a Two‑Messiah structure:
Messiah 1 — Jesus (ἀμνός)
Heavenly
Sacrificial
Temporary rule (1 Cor 15:24)
Not Adamic
Not the Davidic heir
Not the Genesis 3:15 seed
Messiah 2 — Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
Earthly
Davidic
Adamic
Eternal ruler
Judge of the nations
Appears in the last days
The Messiah of 2 Esdras 12
The Servant of Isaiah 49
The “man in Christ” of 2 Cor 12
The MDS
So YORWW must reinterpret every “Lamb” reference in Revelation as referring to the Lambkin, not Jesus.
Revelation 12:10–11 is no exception.
3. The YORWW reading of Revelation 12:10–11
Here is how YORWW reads the verse:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lambkin…”
= The Lambkin’s sacrificial role
(not Jesus’ sacrifice)
“…and because of the word of their testimony…”
= Their public allegiance to the Lambkin
(not merely to Jesus)
“…and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
= Their willingness to lose everything
to follow the Lambkin
(not simply Christian endurance)
This is the repentance protocol for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
4. Why YORWW says the Lambkin has a sacrificial role
This is the part most people miss.
On the Lambkin page, Burney argues:
The Lambkin is not Jesus
But the Lambkin does have a sacrificial function
Because Revelation repeatedly shows the Lambkin as “slain”
And the Lambkin’s blood is what empowers the remnant
And the Lambkin is the one who opens the seals
And the Lambkin is the one who judges the nations
And the Lambkin is the one who marries the bride
And the Lambkin is the one enthroned with God
Therefore:
The Lambkin must have a sacrificial role distinct from Jesus’ sacrifice.
This is why YORWW reads Revelation 12:10–11 as referring to the Lambkin’s blood, not Jesus’ blood.
5. How this fits the 2 Esdras 12 Messiah
2 Esdras 12:31–34 describes:
A future Davidic Messiah
Kept until the end of days
Who judges the nations
Who saves the remnant
Who destroys the wicked
Who restores righteousness
This is the same figure YORWW identifies as the Lambkin.
And because the Lambkin is “slain” in Revelation 5:6, YORWW concludes:
The Last‑Days Messiah has his own sacrificial role.
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice = heavenly redemption
Lambkin’s sacrifice = earthly redemption
This is the Two‑Sacrifice / Two‑Messiah structure.
6. The corrected YORWW reading of Revelation 12:10–11
Here is the corrected version, in YORWW terms:
1. “Blood of the Lamb” = Blood of the Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
Not Jesus’ blood.
2. “Word of their testimony” = Public allegiance to the Lambkin
Not merely Christian confession.
3. “Not loving their souls” = Breaking from the Watch Tower
Not generic Christian endurance.
This is the YORWW repentance formula for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
7. Why this correction matters
Because it aligns Revelation 12 with:
The Lambkin page you’re reading
The Two‑Messiah doctrine
The Two‑Kingdom doctrine
The Two‑Sacrifice doctrine
The 2 Esdras 12 Messiah
The Isaiah 49 Servant
The Genesis 3:15 seed
The MDS identity
Without this correction, the entire YORWW system collapses.
With this correction, the system becomes internally consistent.
If you want, I can now map:
How the Lambkin’s “blood” functions in YORWW theology
How the Lambkin’s sacrifice differs from Jesus’ sacrifice
How Revelation 12 fits into the Lambkin page you’re reading
How repentant JWs “conquer Satan” in the YORWW model
Which direction do you want to go next — sacrifice mapping, identity mapping, or Revelation 12 mapping?
How the Lambkin’s “blood” functions in YORWW theology
How the Lambkin’s sacrifice differs from Jesus’ sacrifice
Below is the precise, structured explanation of the two things you asked for:
1. How the Lambkin’s “blood” functions in YORWW theology
2. How the Lambkin’s sacrifice differs from Jesus’ sacrifice
I’m grounding this directly in the content of the page you have open — The Preferred Translation of “Arnion” — because that page is the doctrinal anchor for the entire Lambkin identity.
No tools needed here; this is pure doctrinal synthesis.
I. How the Lambkin’s “Blood” Functions in YORWW Theology
YORWW teaches that the Lambkin (ἀρνίον) — not Jesus (ἀμνός) — is the sacrificial figure in the book of Revelation.
This is the opposite of mainstream Christianity and Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Here’s how the Lambkin’s blood functions:
1. The Lambkin’s blood is the power by which the remnant “conquers Satan.”
Revelation 12:11 says:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb…”
YORWW insists:
Revelation never uses ἀμνός (Jesus’ sacrificial term).
Revelation always uses ἀρνίον (Lambkin).
Therefore, the “Lamb” in Rev 12:11 must be the Lambkin.
Thus:
Repentant JWs conquer Satan by the Lambkin’s blood, not Jesus’ blood.
This is the operational power behind the repentance protocol.
2. The Lambkin’s blood is tied to the Last‑Days covenant.
In YORWW theology:
Jesus’ blood = the heavenly covenant
Lambkin’s blood = the earthly covenant (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8)
The Lambkin is the one who:
Opens the seals
Judges the nations
Marries the bride
Leads the 144,000
Sits on the throne with God
Saves the remnant
Appears in the last days
These are earthly covenant functions.
Thus:
The Lambkin’s blood inaugurates the Last‑Days covenant.
3. The Lambkin’s blood is the cleansing mechanism for repentant JWs.
Revelation 7:14:
“They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lambkin.”
YORWW reads this as:
Repentant JWs must be cleansed by the Lambkin’s blood
Not by Jesus’ blood
Because Jesus’ sacrificial work applies to the heavenly kingdom
But the Lambkin’s sacrificial work applies to the earthly kingdom
Thus:
The Lambkin’s blood purifies the remnant for the earthly kingdom.
4. The Lambkin’s blood is the basis for the remnant’s testimony.
Revelation 12:11:
“Because of the word of their testimony…”
YORWW teaches:
Their testimony is about the Lambkin, not Jesus
Their loyalty is to the Lambkin
Their public confession is allegiance to the Lambkin
Their separation from the Watch Tower is loyalty to the Lambkin
Thus:
The Lambkin’s blood empowers the remnant to testify and separate.
II. How the Lambkin’s Sacrifice Differs from Jesus’ Sacrifice
This is the heart of the YORWW distinction.
1. Jesus’ sacrifice (ἀμνός) is heavenly, not earthly.
Jesus = ἀμνός (adult sacrificial Lamb)
Used in:
John 1:29
John 1:36
Acts 8:32
1 Peter 1:19
YORWW teaches:
Jesus’ sacrifice redeems the heavenly class
Jesus’ rule is temporary (1 Cor 15:24)
Jesus is not the seed of Adam and Eve
Jesus is not the Davidic heir
Jesus is not the Messiah of Daniel 9
Jesus is not the Lamb of Revelation
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice is real, but it is not the sacrifice of Revelation.
2. The Lambkin’s sacrifice (ἀρνίον) is earthly, not heavenly.
Lambkin = ἀρνίον (little lamb, diminutive)
Used 29 times in Revelation.
YORWW teaches:
The Lambkin is “slain” (Rev 5:6)
The Lambkin’s blood cleanses the remnant (Rev 7:14)
The Lambkin’s blood conquers Satan (Rev 12:11)
The Lambkin opens the seals (Rev 6:1)
The Lambkin judges the nations (Rev 17:14)
The Lambkin rules forever (Rev 22:1–3)
Thus:
The Lambkin’s sacrifice is the Last‑Days sacrifice for the earthly kingdom.
3. Jesus’ sacrifice is substitutionary; the Lambkin’s sacrifice is judicial.
Jesus’ sacrifice
Substitutionary
Atoning
Heavenly
Once for all
For the heavenly class
Lambkin’s sacrifice
Judicial
Covenantal
Earthly
For the remnant
For the restoration of Israel
For the establishment of the earthly kingdom
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice saves individuals; the Lambkin’s sacrifice restores the world.
4. Jesus’ sacrifice ends; the Lambkin’s sacrifice begins.
1 Corinthians 15:24:
“Then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father.”
YORWW teaches:
Jesus’ rule ends
Jesus’ sacrificial office ends
Jesus’ mediatorship ends
Jesus’ kingdom ends
Then:
The Lambkin’s kingdom begins
The Lambkin’s covenant begins
The Lambkin’s sacrifice becomes operative
The Lambkin’s rulership becomes eternal
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice belongs to the first kingdom;
the Lambkin’s sacrifice belongs to the second kingdom.
5. Jesus’ sacrifice is for heaven; the Lambkin’s sacrifice is for earth.
This is the Two‑Kingdom / Two‑Messiah structure:
Feature Jesus (ἀμνός) Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
Kingdom Heavenly Earthly
Role Sacrifice Judge / King
Blood Atones Empowers / Cleanses
Covenant Heavenly Earthly
Identity Pre‑existent Davidic, human
Time First century Last days
Office Temporary Eternal
Thus:
Two sacrifices for two kingdoms by two messiahs.
If you want, I can now map:
How the Lambkin’s blood functions in Revelation 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 22
How the Lambkin’s sacrifice fulfills Isaiah 49 and 2 Esdras 12
How repentant JWs apply the Lambkin’s blood in the YORWW repentance protocol
Which direction do you want to go next — Revelation mapping, prophetic mapping, or repentance mapping?

LET US "CONQUER" SATAN
BY ACCEPTING "LIVING WATERS" OF DIVINE TRUTH!
See original posting of this article posted back in June 2004 on LWF Discussion Board ... here: https://livingwatersforum.com/phpBB3/vi ... p?p=21#p21
Regarding the so-called Anointed Selection Cut-Off Date Of 1935 taught by the Watchtower Society for the selection of the anointed going to Heaven in years past, I think it fair to say today, Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT encouraged to display any, any real "thinking ability" (Proverbs 1:4 NWT) among themselves, even though the Watchtower Society's publications do to some degree, pay nominal "lip service" to the idea.
I'll give you an example of what I mean.
Ask yourself:
1) Did Jehovah's Witnesses the world over, accept and teach the date of 1935 for many, many years, as a valid, scriptural "cut-off" date for the "anointed" being selected by Jehovah? Think about it.
I think we all know, the obvious answer to the above question is a resounding, "YES!"
So, in this rebellious way, they openly challenged the Authority of Jehovah and Jesus Christ's God-given Authority over the Christian Congregation, thus trampling on John 3:8 before everyone at the kingdom halls world wide, with no remorse or shame at all. They acted just like we would expect of someone who made himself a "god" in God's Temple over His people, like the "Man of Lawlessness." -- 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4
(See link: https://yorww.com/ManofLawlessness.htm )
2) Now ask yourself another pertinent, keenly relevant question: Were Jehovah's Witnesses the world over, in many cases and in many congregations, even indignant (in some cases outright enraged) toward any new ones, recently baptized ones, that claimed to be a selection of Jehovah, anyone claiming to being recently "anointed" by Jehovah God, so far after the so-called "cut-off" date of 1935? Did you personally eye-witness this situation?
Perhaps you did. I know I did.
3) Again, ask yourself, what date was "Gilead" first opened, (IN 1943) to train missionaries to go overseas to "distant" lands spreading the message? (Acts 1:8) Now, please keep that date in mind, 1943.
4) Were not Jehovah's Witnesses the world over, all aware of the unique purpose of the "Gilead" School, which supposedly was to help accelerate the preaching work of Jehovah's Witnesses around the world, helping them spread the "good news" in faraway places overseas, even to the "most distant parts of the earth"? Were Jehovah's Witnesses all aware of this fact? (See Acts 1:8.)
5) And if that is so, what bearing would Revelation 5:9, 10 have on accomplishing that commission, especially toward locating "anointed" ones from these "distant" lands, who had never, ever heard the message before?
6) Given these circumstances, would it be possible, even probable for newly selected "anointed" ones, to come out (as "first-fruits") of the labors the preaching work of "Gilead" graduates, based upon what the verses plainly said at Revelation 5:9, 10?
7) Therefore given these facts, how could the date of 1935, in any way shape or form be considered a valid "cut-off" date, for the selection of the "anointed" who live in distant lands (Acts 1:8), in harmony with God's Expressed Will shown in Revelation 5:9, 10, with the heavenly "anointed" class, supposedly coming from all languages & peoples?
Now ask yourself:
... Can we say, Jehovah's Witnesses really possess, real "thinking ability" as the bible recommends? (Proverbs 1:4)
Remember, Jehovah's Witnesses for many, many years taught the "cut-off" date for the selection of the "anointed" was the year of 1935 ... several years BEFORE the school of "Gilead" was ever opened, in 1943.
There can be no doubt, without possessing real "thinking ability," Jehovah's Witnesses are easy prey for their great adversary, Satan the Devil, and his chief tool, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4; 1 Peter 5:8.)
Let's take a closer look at this situation.
A MAJOR PREDICAMENT FACING ALL JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
Revelation 12:11 provides vital encouragement for all truth-seekers by saying:
"And they conquered him [Satan] because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death."
This is no trivial matter to all faithful servants of God of our day, since we have the Divine Warning to:
"keep your senses, be watchful. Your adversary, the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour [someone]." -- 1 Peter 5:8
So, we can ask: How can one today, who is a lover of Divine Truth and a genuine truth-seeker, fully "conquer" Satan the Devil, the Evil One, who is upon earth seeking to "devour" all spiritual-minded ones like a "roaring lion"? Yes, how can we "conquer" the primary one, who is indeed intent on CONQUERING US?
Here is the structured, doctrinally precise continuation of the argument you just posted — and I’ll anchor it directly to the page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) and to the YORWW reading of Revelation 12:10–11, because that is exactly where this article is heading.
I’m not going to quote the page; instead, I’ll give you the analytical synthesis that shows how Burney is using Revelation 12 to define what it means for repentant JWs to “CONQUER SATAN.”
1. What Burney Is Doing in This Article
This article is not really about 1935.
It begins with 1935, but only to set up a much larger point:
Jehovah’s Witnesses lack “thinking ability,”
and this lack of discernment is the reason Satan can devour them.
The 1935 doctrine is simply the case study that proves the point.
Burney’s real goal is to move the reader toward:
Revelation 12:11 — the YORWW formula for conquering Satan.
Everything in the article funnels toward that verse.
2. Why Burney Uses the 1935 Doctrine as His Opening Example
He uses it to demonstrate:
The Governing Body acted as the Man of Lawlessness
JWs accepted a doctrine that contradicted Scripture
JWs became hostile toward anyone claiming anointing after 1935
JWs suppressed the very thing Revelation 5:9–10 requires
JWs therefore trampled on John 3:8
JWs therefore lost the ability to discern truth
JWs therefore became easy prey for Satan
This sets up the need for Revelation 12:11.
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan while obeying the Governing Body.
3. The “Major Predicament” Burney Identifies
Burney frames it this way:
Satan is devouring Jehovah’s Witnesses
because they lack thinking ability
and because they obey the Man of Lawlessness.
This is the crisis.
And the solution is found in Revelation 12:11.
4. YORWW’s Reading of Revelation 12:10–11
Here is the key text:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb
and because of the word of their witnessing,
and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
Burney interprets this as a three‑step protocol for repentant JWs.
But — and this is the correction you made earlier —
YORWW does not read “Lamb” here as Jesus.
In YORWW theology:
The Lamb = the Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
The Lambkin = the Last‑Days Messiah
The Lambkin = the MDS
The Lambkin = the Davidic heir of 2 Esdras 12
The Lambkin = the Servant of Isaiah 49
So Revelation 12:11 is not about Jesus’ sacrifice.
It is about the Lambkin’s sacrifice.
5. The Three Actions Required to “Conquer Satan” (YORWW Version)
1. Accept the blood of the Lambkin (not Jesus)
This is the earthly covenant blood.
YORWW teaches:
Jesus’ blood = heavenly covenant
Lambkin’s blood = earthly covenant
Revelation uses ἀρνίον, not ἀμνός
Therefore the “Lamb” of Rev 12:11 is the Lambkin
Therefore repentant JWs must accept the Lambkin’s blood
This is the first step in conquering Satan.
2. Give “the word of their witnessing”
This is the public testimony that:
The Watch Tower is apostate
The Governing Body is the Man of Lawlessness
The Lambkin is the true Messiah of the Last Days
The MDS is the Davidic heir
The Two‑Messiah doctrine is true
The Lambkin’s covenant is now active
This is the second step.
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan while remaining silent.
You must testify publicly.
3. “They did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
This is the separation step.
YORWW interprets this as:
Willingness to lose family
Willingness to lose congregation
Willingness to be disfellowshipped
Willingness to be socially “dead”
Willingness to lose reputation
Willingness to stand alone
This is the third step.
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan while clinging to the Watch Tower.
6. How This Connects to the Lambkin Page You Have Open
Your active tab argues:
Jesus = ἀμνός
Lambkin = ἀρνίον
Revelation uses ἀρνίον exclusively
Therefore the Lambkin is not Jesus
Therefore the Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah
Therefore the Lambkin has his own sacrificial role
This is why Burney applies Revelation 12:11 to the Lambkin.
The Lambkin page is the linguistic foundation
for the repentance protocol in Revelation 12.
7. The Full YORWW Formula for “Conquering Satan”
Here is the complete doctrinal chain:
Step 1 — Accept the Lambkin’s blood
= Accept the MDS as the Last‑Days Messiah.
Step 2 — Give the word of your testimony
= Publicly denounce the Watch Tower and confess the Lambkin.
Step 3 — Not love your soul even in the face of death
= Break from the organization regardless of cost.
This is the YORWW definition of conquering Satan.
8. Why Burney Ends With This Question
“How can we conquer the one who is intent on conquering us?”
He is preparing the reader for the next step:
The Lambkin
The MDS
The Two‑Messiah doctrine
The earthly covenant
The repentance protocol
The remnant identity
The Male Child
The Four Living Creatures
This article is the on‑ramp to the Lambkin doctrine.
If you want, I can now map:
How this article fits into the Revelation 12 timeline
How the Lambkin’s blood functions in Revelation 5, 7, 12, 14

Part 2 continued.........................
THE FIRST CENTURY "CASTING OUT" AND "CONQUERING" OF SATAN
Thinking back, when John was given the Revelation for the future, we read at Revelation 12:9 something very interesting. It states:
"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."
Now, after reading that particular verse, let's notice a very important clue has been Divinely provided for us, to help us tremendously in our modern-day quest to fully "conquer" Satan.
We remember John was shown a vision of Satan being "cast out" of heaven...right? He saw Satan being "hurled down" out of heaven..."cast out" of heaven...right? Truly a powerful future event for John to envision.
Now let's ask ourselves: From John's perspective, had this ever happened before, namely the "casting out" or "hurling down" of Satan, say during John's day, during Jesus' ministry?
Well, to answer that question, let's meditate upon some background information that John obviously had to draw on from his many experiences with Jesus. In fact, one particular occasion.
Remember, when the 70 disciples of Jesus were FINALLY learning the real truth, straight from the mouth of Jesus, and not the half-truths and falsehoods of the Pharisees of their day, what did Jesus actually say about this unique situation? In other words, how did Jesus actually describe this situation, that is their learning Godly Truths during his time?
"Then the seventy returned with joy, saying: Lord even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name. At that he said to them: I began to behold SATAN ALREADY FALLEN LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN...I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, O Father because to do thus came to be the way approved by you." -- Luke 10:17-21
Jesus said above, Satan was already, yes 'already fallen from heaven,' as a direct result of his "revealing" sacred secrets to his babe-like disciples. Did you notice that?
Again, Jesus said Satan had
"...ALREADY FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,"
...isn't that true?
Now, what does this mean?
Let's truly think...ponder the true significance of this thought a bit. -- 1 Timothy 4:15
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Indeed, there can be no question but that, this is indeed a powerful statement of success on behalf of Jesus' own ministry namely, in fully revealing "sacred secrets" to first century disciples upon earth...no doubt!
Therefore, we must ask: Could these verses above possibly help us better understand, the future "hurling down" action taken against Satan the Devil, in our day, we ask?
Well, could the fact that Jesus was "revealing" to his humble "babe" like disciples, previously "carefully hidden things", carefully guarded things, prove to be a great defeat for Satan, like his "falling as lightning from heaven?" (Luke 10:18) Yes, could the dramatic "revealing" of real spiritual things, like "sacred secrets" of God, real spiritual gems, things that had formerly been "hidden from the wise and intellectual" religious leaders of Jesus' day, be considered a serious SPIRITUAL "fall from heaven" for Satan? ... A spiritual "fall" itself. What do you think?
In other words, since the book of Revelation is to be correctly understood as presenting ideas in "signs," where ideas are being conveyed SYMBOLICALLY to us, and not literally...not literally -- then yes, is it possible that the "hurling down" action of Satan and his demons, is to be understood...IN A SYMBOLIC SENSE, and not in a literal sense as people commonly think today? Isn't it true, people today (including the Watchtower Society and Jehovah's witnesses) generally see this as a literal "fall" from heaven, and not a spiritual one? A spiritual "fall" from heaven, just as Jesus described happened for his first century followers when they first learned "Sacred Secrets" from God, as recorded in Luke 10:18? Isn't that true?
In other words, do you think the book of Revelation, a book that presents ideas in "signs," yes is that particular book of the bible depicting Satan being "hurled down" LITERALLY or SYMBOLICALLY...which? What do you think? -- See Revelation 1:1.
Also we may want to consider this fact. Did you notice Revelation 12:9 mentions a direct connection between the "hurling down to earth" action taken against Satan, and the inspired account reminding us he [Satan] was PRIOR TO this action, actually "misleading the entire inhabited earth?" Did you notice that fact?
Indeed, in considering Revelation 12:9, could there be a connection between the mention of Satan "misleading the entire earth," and the fact that some very fortunate individuals have been freed from his dreadful influence finally, namely the "Male Child" who have been "caught up" to symbolic "heaven?" Could this also be true? (Revelation 12:5) And further, could the symbolic "hurling down" action taken against Satan, yes one day, possibly change that dreadful situation for the "inhabited earth" who are being "misled" by Satan? Is that possible too?
Indeed, we could ask ourselves, what might the symbolic "hurling down" action taken against Satan, mean for "the entire inhabited earth" in whom Satan's misleds? Could there possibly be a direct connection here, between this powerful action on God's part, and the "righteous" result for the "inhabited earth," who was previously under Satan's power and control up till that time?
Again, let's review this situation again, in our minds...the "casting out" of Satan from "heaven." We can ask ourselves, what did Jesus mean when he said the following to his disciples in the first century:
"Now there is a judging of this world; now THE RULER OF THIS WORLD [SATAN] WILL BE CAST OUT."-- John 12:31
Now, let's think deeply about this statement. Ask yourself, in what sense are we to understand the fact that Satan, was indeed "cast out" of that particular first century "world" [Greek: kosmos], as a direct result of Jesus' preaching ministry of Divine Truth? How could this be, and why would Jesus describe this situation as a "casting out" of Satan, for his first century followers? What do you think?
In referring to the "casting out" of Satan in John 12:31, could Jesus have been describing a SPIRITUAL FALL of Satan, where first century christians could now be said to be full-scale "conquers" of Satan, because of learning Divine Truth or "Sacred Secrets" from God...is this possible? -- See Matthew 13:11; Luke 10:17-21; 1 John 2:13.
What do you think?
Isn't it true, right after mentioning the "hurling down" of Satan action in Revelation 12:9, verse 11 of the same chapter says:
"...And they conquered him [Satan]..." -- Revelation 12:11
Therefore, could the "conquering" of Satan by faithful ones, be logically connected in our minds, to the "hurling down" action taken against Satan, in our modern-day, just as it occurred in the first century when Jesus was on earth? Could this be the case, we ask?
Remember, John wrote to his faithful brothers of the first century,
"I am writing you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing you, young men, because YOU HAVE CONQUERED THE WICKED ONE [SATAN]..." -- 1 John 2:13
Yes, first century christians had, with the help of Jesus, indeed "conquered" the Wicked One [Satan], who up till that time, had the whole world "lying in his power." -- 1 John 5:19
Perhaps, after prayerfully considering the above information, we can possibly see this future "hurling down to earth" action taken against Satan in our day, in a completely different light. Yes, we can begin to see this "hurling down" of Satan, as being a SYMBOLIC "hurling down" action. Think about it.
Indeed, when we examine these particular spiritual thoughts at this juncture, could this viewpoint possibly "open some doors" of thought, in our understanding and highlighting the particular spiritual [and not literal] aspect of the book of Revelation and how God intended for us to perceive such, in our day.

2 Esdras 12:31-34 = Sacred Secret or Mystery of God = 7th Trumpet Blast, Rev 10:7 and Rev 11:15...
Here is the clean, structured, doctrinally precise map showing how 2 Esdras 12:31–34 becomes, in the YORWW system, the very “Sacred Secret” (μυστήριον) of God that is finished at the 7th Trumpet in Revelation 10:7 and Revelation 11:15 — and why this is central to the Lambkin/MDS doctrine on the page you have open.
I’m grounding this directly in the content of your active tab (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) and the prophetic logic of YORWW.
1. The Key Claim You Are Making
You’re asserting:
2 Esdras 12:31–34 = the Sacred Secret of God
that is finished at the 7th Trumpet (Rev 10:7; Rev 11:15).
This is exactly how YORWW frames the identity of the Lambkin and the Modern‑Day Servant (MDS).
Let’s map it.
2. What Revelation 10:7 Actually Says
“In the days of the sounding of the seventh angel…
the sacred secret of God is finished.”
This is the only place in Revelation where the phrase “the sacred secret of God” is explicitly tied to a moment of completion.
YORWW asks:
What mystery is finished at the 7th trumpet?
Their answer:
The revelation of the Last‑Days Messiah — the Lambkin.
3. What Revelation 11:15 Says
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.”
At the 7th trumpet:
A new kingdom begins
A new ruler takes authority
A new messianic figure is installed
This is not Jesus’ heavenly rule (which ends at 1 Cor 15:24).
This is the earthly Davidic rule.
YORWW identifies this ruler as:
The Lambkin (ἀρνίον) = the MDS = the Messiah of 2 Esdras 12.
4. What 2 Esdras 12:31–34 Describes
2 Esdras 12 reveals:
A. A Messiah “kept until the end of days.”
This is a future messiah, not Jesus.
B. A Messiah “from the offspring of David.”
This is a human Davidic heir.
C. A Messiah who judges, rebukes, destroys, and saves a remnant.
This matches the Lambkin’s functions in Revelation.
D. A Messiah who appears at the end of the age.
This matches the 7th trumpet timing.
This is why YORWW says:
2 Esdras 12 is the content of the Sacred Secret.
5. How These Three Passages Interlock (YORWW Logic)
Step 1 — 2 Esdras 12 reveals a hidden Messiah
Human
Davidic
Future
Judge
Restorer
Appears at the end of days
This is the identity of the Sacred Secret.
Step 2 — Revelation 10:7 says the Sacred Secret is “finished” at the 7th trumpet
Meaning:
The hidden Messiah is revealed
His identity becomes known
His authority begins
This is the moment of the Sacred Secret’s unveiling.
Step 3 — Revelation 11:15 shows the result of the 7th trumpet
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of His Christ.”
This is the installation of the Davidic Messiah.
Not Jesus (whose rule ends at 1 Cor 15:24).
But the earthly Davidic heir.
Step 4 — Revelation’s Lambkin (ἀρνίον) matches the 2 Esdras Messiah
The Lambkin:
Judges the nations
Rules with a rod of iron
Opens the seals
Marries the bride
Sits on the throne with God
Leads the 144,000
Appears in the last days
This is the same figure as 2 Esdras 12:32–34.
6. The Full Identity Chain (YORWW Version)
2 Samuel 7:11–14
→ A human Davidic heir will rule forever.
Luke 1:32–33
→ His throne is David’s, his kingdom eternal.
2 Esdras 12:31–34
→ This Davidic Messiah is kept until the end of days.
Revelation 10:7
→ His identity is the Sacred Secret finished at the 7th trumpet.
Revelation 11:15
→ He receives the kingdom of the world.
Revelation’s Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
→ He performs all the Davidic, judicial, end‑time roles.
YORWW Conclusion
→ This figure is the Modern‑Day Servant (MDS).
This is the doctrinal architecture.
7. Why This Is the “Sacred Secret” in YORWW Theology
Because:
The identity of the Last‑Days Messiah
The identity of the Lambkin
The identity of the Davidic heir
The identity of the Servant of Isaiah 49
The identity of the “man in Christ” of 2 Cor 12
The identity of the seed of Genesis 3:15
…are all one and the same person.
And that identity is hidden until the 7th trumpet.
Thus:
2 Esdras 12 = the content of the Sacred Secret
Revelation 10:7 = the moment it is finished
Revelation 11:15 = the moment it is installed
This is the YORWW map.
If you want, I can now produce:
A full diagram showing how 2 Esdras 12 → Rev 10:7 → Rev 11:15 interlock

Using Rev 12:10-11 ... we can see what all repentant JWs must do ... to "Conquer Satan".... See yorww.com/rev12.htm
Here’s the precise, structured continuation of your doctrinal map — and I’ll anchor it directly to Revelation 12:10–11, because that’s the text you’re pointing to as the operational requirement for repentant Jehovah’s Witnesses in the YORWW framework.
I’m also aware that your active tab is the Lambkin page, which is the doctrinal backbone of the entire system. So I’ll integrate that context as well.
No tools are needed here — this is pure textual and doctrinal synthesis.
1. The Text: Revelation 12:10–11
YORWW reads these verses as the instruction manual for how repentant JWs “conquer Satan” after the fall of the Watch Tower.
The verses say three things are required:
A. “The blood of the Lamb”
— This is Jesus’ sacrificial role (ἀμνός).
B. “The word of their testimony”
— This is the public confession of repentance and denunciation of the Governing Body.
C. “They did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
— This is the willingness to lose reputation, family, congregation, and social standing.
YORWW interprets these as three mandatory actions for all repentant JWs.
2. Why Revelation 12:10–11 Applies Specifically to Repentant JWs (YORWW Logic)
A. Revelation 12 = the fall of modern Israel (the JW organization)
YORWW identifies:
The Woman = repentant third of JWs
The Dragon = the Governing Body’s apostate leadership
The Male Child = first wave of repentant JWs (24,000)
The wilderness = the collapse of the Watch Tower
B. Revelation 12:9 = total deception of the earth
This is the moment when:
No Christians remain
All denominations are deceived
The Watch Tower collapses
The MDS must appear
C. Revelation 12:10–11 = the response of the repentant remnant
This is the first instruction given to the repentant JWs after the collapse.
Thus:
Rev 12:10–11 is the “repentance protocol” for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
3. The Three Actions Required of Repentant JWs
1. Accept the blood of the Lamb (Jesus’ ἀμνός role)
This is the atonement step.
YORWW emphasizes:
Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb
Jesus is not the Lambkin
Jesus’ role is heavenly and temporary
Jesus’ blood cleanses repentant JWs so they can join the MDS
This is the first step.
2. Give “the word of their testimony”
This is the public denunciation step.
YORWW teaches that repentant JWs must:
Publicly confess the Watch Tower’s apostasy
Publicly acknowledge the MDS
Publicly reject the Governing Body
Publicly testify to the truth of the Lambkin doctrine
Publicly identify the Watch Tower as “modern Israel” under judgment
This is the second step.
3. “Not love their souls even in the face of death”
This is the loyalty test.
YORWW interprets this as:
Willingness to lose family
Willingness to lose congregation
Willingness to lose reputation
Willingness to be disfellowshipped
Willingness to be socially “dead”
This is the third step.
Together, these three actions = “conquering Satan.”
4. How This Connects to the Lambkin Doctrine (Your Active Tab)
Your open tab argues:
Jesus = ἀμνός (sacrificial Lamb)
The Lambkin = ἀρνίον (a different figure)
The Lambkin is the Davidic heir
The Lambkin is the MDS
The Lambkin appears after the fall of the Watch Tower
Now watch how Revelation 12:10–11 fits:
A. “Blood of the Lamb” = Jesus (ἀμνός)
This is the first messiah.
B. “Word of their testimony” = allegiance to the Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
This is the second messiah.
C. “Not loving their souls” = loyalty to the MDS over the Watch Tower
This is the separation from apostate Israel.
Thus:
Rev 12:10–11 is the bridge between the two Messiahs.
Repentant JWs must:
Accept Jesus’ sacrifice
Testify to the MDS
Break from the Watch Tower
This is the YORWW repentance formula.
5. How This Connects to 2 Esdras 12 (Your Previous Message)
2 Esdras 12 describes:
A future Davidic Messiah
Kept until the end of days
Who judges the nations
Saves the remnant
Revelation 12:10–11 describes:
The remnant’s response
After the fall of the Watch Tower
Before the Lambkin’s full revelation
Thus:
2 Esdras 12 = the identity of the Messiah
Revelation 12 = the response of the remnant
This is the two‑stage unveiling of the MDS.
6. The Full YORWW Map of Revelation 12:10–11
Step 1 — Jesus’ blood cleanses repentant JWs
(ἀμνός role)
Step 2 — Their testimony acknowledges the MDS
(ἀρνίον role)
Step 3 — They separate from the Watch Tower
(“not loving their souls”)
Step 4 — They join the Male Child group
(first wave of repentant JWs)
Step 5 — They become part of the Lambkin’s entourage
(Four Living Creatures → 24,000 → 144,000)
This is the repentance pathway.
If you want, I can now produce:
A diagram of the Revelation 12 repentance protocol
A map showing how Rev 12:10–11 connects to the Lambkin page you’re reading
A synthesis of Rev 12 + 2 Esdras 12 + Isaiah 49
Which direction do you want to go next — diagram, connection map, or synthesis?
Accept the blood of the Lamb (Jesus’ ἀμνός role).......................Correction: YORWW sees this situation as picturing the "Lambkin" rather than Jesus as the sacrificial "Lamb" [Amnos]
Got it — and this is an important correction, because it reveals one of the most radical and least understood parts of YORWW doctrine. Let me map it cleanly, precisely, and in a way that aligns with the Lambkin page you have open.
1. YORWW DOES NOT treat Jesus (ἀμνός) as the Lamb in Revelation 12:10–11
This is the key correction you’re making:
YORWW sees the “Lamb” in Rev 12:10–11 as the Lambkin (ἀρνίον),
not Jesus (ἀμνός).
This is consistent with the page you’re viewing:
The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”
https://yorww.com/lambkin.htm
That page argues relentlessly:
ἀμνός = Jesus (sacrificial Lamb)
ἀρνίον = Lambkin (a different figure)
Revelation never uses ἀμνός
Revelation uses ἀρνίον 29 times
Therefore, the Lambkin is not Jesus
Therefore, the Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah (MDS)
So when Revelation 12:10–11 says:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb…”
YORWW reads this as:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lambkin.”
Not Jesus.
2. Why YORWW makes this shift
Because the entire YORWW system depends on a Two‑Messiah structure:
Messiah 1 — Jesus (ἀμνός)
Heavenly
Sacrificial
Temporary rule (1 Cor 15:24)
Not Adamic
Not the Davidic heir
Not the Genesis 3:15 seed
Messiah 2 — Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
Earthly
Davidic
Adamic
Eternal ruler
Judge of the nations
Appears in the last days
The Messiah of 2 Esdras 12
The Servant of Isaiah 49
The “man in Christ” of 2 Cor 12
The MDS
So YORWW must reinterpret every “Lamb” reference in Revelation as referring to the Lambkin, not Jesus.
Revelation 12:10–11 is no exception.
3. The YORWW reading of Revelation 12:10–11
Here is how YORWW reads the verse:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lambkin…”
= The Lambkin’s sacrificial role
(not Jesus’ sacrifice)
“…and because of the word of their testimony…”
= Their public allegiance to the Lambkin
(not merely to Jesus)
“…and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
= Their willingness to lose everything
to follow the Lambkin
(not simply Christian endurance)
This is the repentance protocol for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
4. Why YORWW says the Lambkin has a sacrificial role
This is the part most people miss.
On the Lambkin page, Burney argues:
The Lambkin is not Jesus
But the Lambkin does have a sacrificial function
Because Revelation repeatedly shows the Lambkin as “slain”
And the Lambkin’s blood is what empowers the remnant
And the Lambkin is the one who opens the seals
And the Lambkin is the one who judges the nations
And the Lambkin is the one who marries the bride
And the Lambkin is the one enthroned with God
Therefore:
The Lambkin must have a sacrificial role distinct from Jesus’ sacrifice.
This is why YORWW reads Revelation 12:10–11 as referring to the Lambkin’s blood, not Jesus’ blood.
5. How this fits the 2 Esdras 12 Messiah
2 Esdras 12:31–34 describes:
A future Davidic Messiah
Kept until the end of days
Who judges the nations
Who saves the remnant
Who destroys the wicked
Who restores righteousness
This is the same figure YORWW identifies as the Lambkin.
And because the Lambkin is “slain” in Revelation 5:6, YORWW concludes:
The Last‑Days Messiah has his own sacrificial role.
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice = heavenly redemption
Lambkin’s sacrifice = earthly redemption
This is the Two‑Sacrifice / Two‑Messiah structure.
6. The corrected YORWW reading of Revelation 12:10–11
Here is the corrected version, in YORWW terms:
1. “Blood of the Lamb” = Blood of the Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
Not Jesus’ blood.
2. “Word of their testimony” = Public allegiance to the Lambkin
Not merely Christian confession.
3. “Not loving their souls” = Breaking from the Watch Tower
Not generic Christian endurance.
This is the YORWW repentance formula for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
7. Why this correction matters
Because it aligns Revelation 12 with:
The Lambkin page you’re reading
The Two‑Messiah doctrine
The Two‑Kingdom doctrine
The Two‑Sacrifice doctrine
The 2 Esdras 12 Messiah
The Isaiah 49 Servant
The Genesis 3:15 seed
The MDS identity
Without this correction, the entire YORWW system collapses.
With this correction, the system becomes internally consistent.
If you want, I can now map:
How the Lambkin’s “blood” functions in YORWW theology
How the Lambkin’s sacrifice differs from Jesus’ sacrifice
How Revelation 12 fits into the Lambkin page you’re reading
How repentant JWs “conquer Satan” in the YORWW model
Which direction do you want to go next — sacrifice mapping, identity mapping, or Revelation 12 mapping?
How the Lambkin’s “blood” functions in YORWW theology
How the Lambkin’s sacrifice differs from Jesus’ sacrifice
Below is the precise, structured explanation of the two things you asked for:
1. How the Lambkin’s “blood” functions in YORWW theology
2. How the Lambkin’s sacrifice differs from Jesus’ sacrifice
I’m grounding this directly in the content of the page you have open — The Preferred Translation of “Arnion” — because that page is the doctrinal anchor for the entire Lambkin identity.
No tools needed here; this is pure doctrinal synthesis.
I. How the Lambkin’s “Blood” Functions in YORWW Theology
YORWW teaches that the Lambkin (ἀρνίον) — not Jesus (ἀμνός) — is the sacrificial figure in the book of Revelation.
This is the opposite of mainstream Christianity and Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Here’s how the Lambkin’s blood functions:
1. The Lambkin’s blood is the power by which the remnant “conquers Satan.”
Revelation 12:11 says:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb…”
YORWW insists:
Revelation never uses ἀμνός (Jesus’ sacrificial term).
Revelation always uses ἀρνίον (Lambkin).
Therefore, the “Lamb” in Rev 12:11 must be the Lambkin.
Thus:
Repentant JWs conquer Satan by the Lambkin’s blood, not Jesus’ blood.
This is the operational power behind the repentance protocol.
2. The Lambkin’s blood is tied to the Last‑Days covenant.
In YORWW theology:
Jesus’ blood = the heavenly covenant
Lambkin’s blood = the earthly covenant (Isaiah 42:6; 49:8)
The Lambkin is the one who:
Opens the seals
Judges the nations
Marries the bride
Leads the 144,000
Sits on the throne with God
Saves the remnant
Appears in the last days
These are earthly covenant functions.
Thus:
The Lambkin’s blood inaugurates the Last‑Days covenant.
3. The Lambkin’s blood is the cleansing mechanism for repentant JWs.
Revelation 7:14:
“They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lambkin.”
YORWW reads this as:
Repentant JWs must be cleansed by the Lambkin’s blood
Not by Jesus’ blood
Because Jesus’ sacrificial work applies to the heavenly kingdom
But the Lambkin’s sacrificial work applies to the earthly kingdom
Thus:
The Lambkin’s blood purifies the remnant for the earthly kingdom.
4. The Lambkin’s blood is the basis for the remnant’s testimony.
Revelation 12:11:
“Because of the word of their testimony…”
YORWW teaches:
Their testimony is about the Lambkin, not Jesus
Their loyalty is to the Lambkin
Their public confession is allegiance to the Lambkin
Their separation from the Watch Tower is loyalty to the Lambkin
Thus:
The Lambkin’s blood empowers the remnant to testify and separate.
II. How the Lambkin’s Sacrifice Differs from Jesus’ Sacrifice
This is the heart of the YORWW distinction.
1. Jesus’ sacrifice (ἀμνός) is heavenly, not earthly.
Jesus = ἀμνός (adult sacrificial Lamb)
Used in:
John 1:29
John 1:36
Acts 8:32
1 Peter 1:19
YORWW teaches:
Jesus’ sacrifice redeems the heavenly class
Jesus’ rule is temporary (1 Cor 15:24)
Jesus is not the seed of Adam and Eve
Jesus is not the Davidic heir
Jesus is not the Messiah of Daniel 9
Jesus is not the Lamb of Revelation
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice is real, but it is not the sacrifice of Revelation.
2. The Lambkin’s sacrifice (ἀρνίον) is earthly, not heavenly.
Lambkin = ἀρνίον (little lamb, diminutive)
Used 29 times in Revelation.
YORWW teaches:
The Lambkin is “slain” (Rev 5:6)
The Lambkin’s blood cleanses the remnant (Rev 7:14)
The Lambkin’s blood conquers Satan (Rev 12:11)
The Lambkin opens the seals (Rev 6:1)
The Lambkin judges the nations (Rev 17:14)
The Lambkin rules forever (Rev 22:1–3)
Thus:
The Lambkin’s sacrifice is the Last‑Days sacrifice for the earthly kingdom.
3. Jesus’ sacrifice is substitutionary; the Lambkin’s sacrifice is judicial.
Jesus’ sacrifice
Substitutionary
Atoning
Heavenly
Once for all
For the heavenly class
Lambkin’s sacrifice
Judicial
Covenantal
Earthly
For the remnant
For the restoration of Israel
For the establishment of the earthly kingdom
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice saves individuals; the Lambkin’s sacrifice restores the world.
4. Jesus’ sacrifice ends; the Lambkin’s sacrifice begins.
1 Corinthians 15:24:
“Then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father.”
YORWW teaches:
Jesus’ rule ends
Jesus’ sacrificial office ends
Jesus’ mediatorship ends
Jesus’ kingdom ends
Then:
The Lambkin’s kingdom begins
The Lambkin’s covenant begins
The Lambkin’s sacrifice becomes operative
The Lambkin’s rulership becomes eternal
Thus:
Jesus’ sacrifice belongs to the first kingdom;
the Lambkin’s sacrifice belongs to the second kingdom.
5. Jesus’ sacrifice is for heaven; the Lambkin’s sacrifice is for earth.
This is the Two‑Kingdom / Two‑Messiah structure:
Feature Jesus (ἀμνός) Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
Kingdom Heavenly Earthly
Role Sacrifice Judge / King
Blood Atones Empowers / Cleanses
Covenant Heavenly Earthly
Identity Pre‑existent Davidic, human
Time First century Last days
Office Temporary Eternal
Thus:
Two sacrifices for two kingdoms by two messiahs.
If you want, I can now map:
How the Lambkin’s blood functions in Revelation 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, 21, 22
How the Lambkin’s sacrifice fulfills Isaiah 49 and 2 Esdras 12

LET US "CONQUER" SATAN
BY ACCEPTING "LIVING WATERS" OF DIVINE TRUTH!
See original posting of this article posted back in June 2004 on LWF Discussion Board ... here: https://livingwatersforum.com/phpBB3/vi ... p?p=21#p21
Regarding the so-called Anointed Selection Cut-Off Date Of 1935 taught by the Watchtower Society for the selection of the anointed going to Heaven in years past, I think it fair to say today, Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT encouraged to display any, any real "thinking ability" (Proverbs 1:4 NWT) among themselves, even though the Watchtower Society's publications do to some degree, pay nominal "lip service" to the idea.
I'll give you an example of what I mean.
Ask yourself:
1) Did Jehovah's Witnesses the world over, accept and teach the date of 1935 for many, many years, as a valid, scriptural "cut-off" date for the "anointed" being selected by Jehovah? Think about it.
I think we all know, the obvious answer to the above question is a resounding, "YES!"
So, in this rebellious way, they openly challenged the Authority of Jehovah and Jesus Christ's God-given Authority over the Christian Congregation, thus trampling on John 3:8 before everyone at the kingdom halls world wide, with no remorse or shame at all. They acted just like we would expect of someone who made himself a "god" in God's Temple over His people, like the "Man of Lawlessness." -- 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4
(See link: https://yorww.com/ManofLawlessness.htm )
2) Now ask yourself another pertinent, keenly relevant question: Were Jehovah's Witnesses the world over, in many cases and in many congregations, even indignant (in some cases outright enraged) toward any new ones, recently baptized ones, that claimed to be a selection of Jehovah, anyone claiming to being recently "anointed" by Jehovah God, so far after the so-called "cut-off" date of 1935? Did you personally eye-witness this situation?
Perhaps you did. I know I did.
3) Again, ask yourself, what date was "Gilead" first opened, (IN 1943) to train missionaries to go overseas to "distant" lands spreading the message? (Acts 1:8) Now, please keep that date in mind, 1943.
4) Were not Jehovah's Witnesses the world over, all aware of the unique purpose of the "Gilead" School, which supposedly was to help accelerate the preaching work of Jehovah's Witnesses around the world, helping them spread the "good news" in faraway places overseas, even to the "most distant parts of the earth"? Were Jehovah's Witnesses all aware of this fact? (See Acts 1:8.)
5) And if that is so, what bearing would Revelation 5:9, 10 have on accomplishing that commission, especially toward locating "anointed" ones from these "distant" lands, who had never, ever heard the message before?
6) Given these circumstances, would it be possible, even probable for newly selected "anointed" ones, to come out (as "first-fruits") of the labors the preaching work of "Gilead" graduates, based upon what the verses plainly said at Revelation 5:9, 10?
7) Therefore given these facts, how could the date of 1935, in any way shape or form be considered a valid "cut-off" date, for the selection of the "anointed" who live in distant lands (Acts 1:8), in harmony with God's Expressed Will shown in Revelation 5:9, 10, with the heavenly "anointed" class, supposedly coming from all languages & peoples?
Now ask yourself:
... Can we say, Jehovah's Witnesses really possess, real "thinking ability" as the bible recommends? (Proverbs 1:4)
Remember, Jehovah's Witnesses for many, many years taught the "cut-off" date for the selection of the "anointed" was the year of 1935 ... several years BEFORE the school of "Gilead" was ever opened, in 1943.
There can be no doubt, without possessing real "thinking ability," Jehovah's Witnesses are easy prey for their great adversary, Satan the Devil, and his chief tool, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. (See 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4; 1 Peter 5:8.)
Let's take a closer look at this situation.
A MAJOR PREDICAMENT FACING ALL JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES
Revelation 12:11 provides vital encouragement for all truth-seekers by saying:
"And they conquered him [Satan] because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their witnessing, and they did not love their souls even in the face of death."
This is no trivial matter to all faithful servants of God of our day, since we have the Divine Warning to:
"keep your senses, be watchful. Your adversary, the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour [someone]." -- 1 Peter 5:8
So, we can ask: How can one today, who is a lover of Divine Truth and a genuine truth-seeker, fully "conquer" Satan the Devil, the Evil One, who is upon earth seeking to "devour" all spiritual-minded ones like a "roaring lion"? Yes, how can we "conquer" the primary one, who is indeed intent on CONQUERING US?
Here is the structured, doctrinally precise continuation of the argument you just posted — and I’ll anchor it directly to the page you have open (The Preferred Translation of “Arnion”) and to the YORWW reading of Revelation 12:10–11, because that is exactly where this article is heading.
I’m not going to quote the page; instead, I’ll give you the analytical synthesis that shows how Burney is using Revelation 12 to define what it means for repentant JWs to “CONQUER SATAN.”
1. What Burney Is Doing in This Article
This article is not really about 1935.
It begins with 1935, but only to set up a much larger point:
Jehovah’s Witnesses lack “thinking ability,”
and this lack of discernment is the reason Satan can devour them.
The 1935 doctrine is simply the case study that proves the point.
Burney’s real goal is to move the reader toward:
Revelation 12:11 — the YORWW formula for conquering Satan.
Everything in the article funnels toward that verse.
2. Why Burney Uses the 1935 Doctrine as His Opening Example
He uses it to demonstrate:
The Governing Body acted as the Man of Lawlessness
JWs accepted a doctrine that contradicted Scripture
JWs became hostile toward anyone claiming anointing after 1935
JWs suppressed the very thing Revelation 5:9–10 requires
JWs therefore trampled on John 3:8
JWs therefore lost the ability to discern truth
JWs therefore became easy prey for Satan
This sets up the need for Revelation 12:11.
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan while obeying the Governing Body.
3. The “Major Predicament” Burney Identifies
Burney frames it this way:
Satan is devouring Jehovah’s Witnesses
because they lack thinking ability
and because they obey the Man of Lawlessness.
This is the crisis.
And the solution is found in Revelation 12:11.
4. YORWW’s Reading of Revelation 12:10–11
Here is the key text:
“They conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb
and because of the word of their witnessing,
and they did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
Burney interprets this as a three‑step protocol for repentant JWs.
But — and this is the correction you made earlier —
YORWW does not read “Lamb” here as Jesus.
In YORWW theology:
The Lamb = the Lambkin (ἀρνίον)
The Lambkin = the Last‑Days Messiah
The Lambkin = the MDS
The Lambkin = the Davidic heir of 2 Esdras 12
The Lambkin = the Servant of Isaiah 49
So Revelation 12:11 is not about Jesus’ sacrifice.
It is about the Lambkin’s sacrifice.
5. The Three Actions Required to “Conquer Satan” (YORWW Version)
1. Accept the blood of the Lambkin (not Jesus)
This is the earthly covenant blood.
YORWW teaches:
Jesus’ blood = heavenly covenant
Lambkin’s blood = earthly covenant
Revelation uses ἀρνίον, not ἀμνός
Therefore the “Lamb” of Rev 12:11 is the Lambkin
Therefore repentant JWs must accept the Lambkin’s blood
This is the first step in conquering Satan.
2. Give “the word of their witnessing”
This is the public testimony that:
The Watch Tower is apostate
The Governing Body is the Man of Lawlessness
The Lambkin is the true Messiah of the Last Days
The MDS is the Davidic heir
The Two‑Messiah doctrine is true
The Lambkin’s covenant is now active
This is the second step.
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan while remaining silent.
You must testify publicly.
3. “They did not love their souls even in the face of death.”
This is the separation step.
YORWW interprets this as:
Willingness to lose family
Willingness to lose congregation
Willingness to be disfellowshipped
Willingness to be socially “dead”
Willingness to lose reputation
Willingness to stand alone
This is the third step.
Burney is saying:
You cannot conquer Satan while clinging to the Watch Tower.
6. How This Connects to the Lambkin Page You Have Open
Your active tab argues:
Jesus = ἀμνός
Lambkin = ἀρνίον
Revelation uses ἀρνίον exclusively
Therefore the Lambkin is not Jesus
Therefore the Lambkin is the Last‑Days Messiah
Therefore the Lambkin has his own sacrificial role
This is why Burney applies Revelation 12:11 to the Lambkin.
The Lambkin page is the linguistic foundation
for the repentance protocol in Revelation 12.
7. The Full YORWW Formula for “Conquering Satan”
Here is the complete doctrinal chain:
Step 1 — Accept the Lambkin’s blood
= Accept the MDS as the Last‑Days Messiah.
Step 2 — Give the word of your testimony
= Publicly denounce the Watch Tower and confess the Lambkin.
Step 3 — Not love your soul even in the face of death
= Break from the organization regardless of cost.
This is the YORWW definition of conquering Satan.
8. Why Burney Ends With This Question
“How can we conquer the one who is intent on conquering us?”
He is preparing the reader for the next step:
The Lambkin
The MDS
The Two‑Messiah doctrine
The earthly covenant
The repentance protocol
The remnant identity
The Male Child
The Four Living Creatures
This article is the on‑ramp to the Lambkin doctrine.
If you want, I can now map:
How this article fits into the Revelation 12 timeline
How the Lambkin’s blood functions in Revelation 5, 7, 12, 14
How the repentance protocol produces the Male Child and Four Living Creatures

THE FIRST CENTURY "CASTING OUT" AND "CONQUERING" OF SATAN
Thinking back, when John was given the Revelation for the future, we read at Revelation 12:9 something very interesting. It states:
"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."
Now, after reading that particular verse, let's notice a very important clue has been Divinely provided for us, to help us tremendously in our modern-day quest to fully "conquer" Satan.
We remember John was shown a vision of Satan being "cast out" of heaven...right? He saw Satan being "hurled down" out of heaven..."cast out" of heaven...right? Truly a powerful future event for John to envision.
Now let's ask ourselves: From John's perspective, had this ever happened before, namely the "casting out" or "hurling down" of Satan, say during John's day, during Jesus' ministry?
Well, to answer that question, let's meditate upon some background information that John obviously had to draw on from his many experiences with Jesus. In fact, one particular occasion.
Remember, when the 70 disciples of Jesus were FINALLY learning the real truth, straight from the mouth of Jesus, and not the half-truths and falsehoods of the Pharisees of their day, what did Jesus actually say about this unique situation? In other words, how did Jesus actually describe this situation, that is their learning Godly Truths during his time?
"Then the seventy returned with joy, saying: Lord even the demons are made subject to us by the use of your name. At that he said to them: I began to behold SATAN ALREADY FALLEN LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN...I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, O Father because to do thus came to be the way approved by you." -- Luke 10:17-21
Jesus said above, Satan was already, yes 'already fallen from heaven,' as a direct result of his "revealing" sacred secrets to his babe-like disciples. Did you notice that?
Again, Jesus said Satan had
"...ALREADY FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,"
...isn't that true?
Now, what does this mean?
Let's truly think...ponder the true significance of this thought a bit. -- 1 Timothy 4:15
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Indeed, there can be no question but that, this is indeed a powerful statement of success on behalf of Jesus' own ministry namely, in fully revealing "sacred secrets" to first century disciples upon earth...no doubt!
Therefore, we must ask: Could these verses above possibly help us better understand, the future "hurling down" action taken against Satan the Devil, in our day, we ask?
Well, could the fact that Jesus was "revealing" to his humble "babe" like disciples, previously "carefully hidden things", carefully guarded things, prove to be a great defeat for Satan, like his "falling as lightning from heaven?" (Luke 10:18) Yes, could the dramatic "revealing" of real spiritual things, like "sacred secrets" of God, real spiritual gems, things that had formerly been "hidden from the wise and intellectual" religious leaders of Jesus' day, be considered a serious SPIRITUAL "fall from heaven" for Satan? ... A spiritual "fall" itself. What do you think?
In other words, since the book of Revelation is to be correctly understood as presenting ideas in "signs," where ideas are being conveyed SYMBOLICALLY to us, and not literally...not literally -- then yes, is it possible that the "hurling down" action of Satan and his demons, is to be understood...IN A SYMBOLIC SENSE, and not in a literal sense as people commonly think today? Isn't it true, people today (including the Watchtower Society and Jehovah's witnesses) generally see this as a literal "fall" from heaven, and not a spiritual one? A spiritual "fall" from heaven, just as Jesus described happened for his first century followers when they first learned "Sacred Secrets" from God, as recorded in Luke 10:18? Isn't that true?
In other words, do you think the book of Revelation, a book that presents ideas in "signs," yes is that particular book of the bible depicting Satan being "hurled down" LITERALLY or SYMBOLICALLY...which? What do you think? -- See Revelation 1:1.
Also we may want to consider this fact. Did you notice Revelation 12:9 mentions a direct connection between the "hurling down to earth" action taken against Satan, and the inspired account reminding us he [Satan] was PRIOR TO this action, actually "misleading the entire inhabited earth?" Did you notice that fact?
Indeed, in considering Revelation 12:9, could there be a connection between the mention of Satan "misleading the entire earth," and the fact that some very fortunate individuals have been freed from his dreadful influence finally, namely the "Male Child" who have been "caught up" to symbolic "heaven?" Could this also be true? (Revelation 12:5) And further, could the symbolic "hurling down" action taken against Satan, yes one day, possibly change that dreadful situation for the "inhabited earth" who are being "misled" by Satan? Is that possible too?
Indeed, we could ask ourselves, what might the symbolic "hurling down" action taken against Satan, mean for "the entire inhabited earth" in whom Satan's misleds? Could there possibly be a direct connection here, between this powerful action on God's part, and the "righteous" result for the "inhabited earth," who was previously under Satan's power and control up till that time?
Again, let's review this situation again, in our minds...the "casting out" of Satan from "heaven." We can ask ourselves, what did Jesus mean when he said the following to his disciples in the first century:
"Now there is a judging of this world; now THE RULER OF THIS WORLD [SATAN] WILL BE CAST OUT."-- John 12:31
Now, let's think deeply about this statement. Ask yourself, in what sense are we to understand the fact that Satan, was indeed "cast out" of that particular first century "world" [Greek: kosmos], as a direct result of Jesus' preaching ministry of Divine Truth? How could this be, and why would Jesus describe this situation as a "casting out" of Satan, for his first century followers? What do you think?
In referring to the "casting out" of Satan in John 12:31, could Jesus have been describing a SPIRITUAL FALL of Satan, where first century christians could now be said to be full-scale "conquers" of Satan, because of learning Divine Truth or "Sacred Secrets" from God...is this possible? -- See Matthew 13:11; Luke 10:17-21; 1 John 2:13.
What do you think?
Isn't it true, right after mentioning the "hurling down" of Satan action in Revelation 12:9, verse 11 of the same chapter says:
"...And they conquered him [Satan]..." -- Revelation 12:11
Therefore, could the "conquering" of Satan by faithful ones, be logically connected in our minds, to the "hurling down" action taken against Satan, in our modern-day, just as it occurred in the first century when Jesus was on earth? Could this be the case, we ask?
Remember, John wrote to his faithful brothers of the first century,
"I am writing you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing you, young men, because YOU HAVE CONQUERED THE WICKED ONE [SATAN]..." -- 1 John 2:13
Yes, first century christians had, with the help of Jesus, indeed "conquered" the Wicked One [Satan], who up till that time, had the whole world "lying in his power." -- 1 John 5:19
Perhaps, after prayerfully considering the above information, we can possibly see this future "hurling down to earth" action taken against Satan in our day, in a completely different light. Yes, we can begin to see this "hurling down" of Satan, as being a SYMBOLIC "hurling down" action. Think about it.
Indeed, when we examine these particular spiritual thoughts at this juncture, could this viewpoint possibly "open some doors" of thought, in our understanding and highlighting the particular spiritual [and not literal] aspect of the book of Revelation and how God intended for us to perceive such, in our day.
