“And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived. (…) And he carried me away in the power of the spirit into a wilderness. And I caught sight of a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names and that had seven heads and ten horns. (…) Here is where the intelligence that has wisdom comes in: The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while. And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also itself an eighth [king], but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction” (Revelation 13:14 ; 17:3,9–11).
The link between Revelation 13, where the image of the wild beast is mentioned, and the description in chapter 17, is found in the expression regarding to the beast with seven heads and ten horns, “that was but is not” (which is the definition of the image, which represents graphically or in the form of a statue, but which object or support, is not intrinsically what it represents). This beast, has the same appearance as the first beast, but does not have diadems on each horn. Which logically, as an image, suggests that this beast has the role that the two-horned beast wants it to play. The world political body closest to the description of the Revelation, is the current UN (United Nations). This Organization represents the globalist ideology of human sovereignty. It is written in the book of Revelation, that the beast with two horns (the current United States world power), gave the idea of creating an image, after the healing, of the wound of the first beast. After the First World War, there was the creation of the SDN (The League of Nations (January 10, 1920)). At the end of the Second World War, there was the creation of the United Nations (October 24, 1945). According to the Revelation, even if this image has only the role that the whole that the nations, want it to play, it is in fact an eighth king, which represents a globalized government.
