Rev. 17 [...]
"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns." (Vs. 3) In this vision John saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast. [...] The "scarlet coloured beast" is an earthly Devil organization appearing in the form of a combination of rulers of nations, the announced purpose of which combination has been and is to establish world peace. While claiming to establish peace and prevent war, each one of the nations involved is constantly preparing for war; thus exhibiting its predisposition to hypocrisy and further branding it as an instrument of Satan. This"scarlet coloured beast" first came into view in 1899 under the name of "The Hague International Peace Conference".

Babylon the Great’s adulterous “friendship with the world” goes even farther. It includes her domineering relationship with a symbolic “beast.” For she is described at Revelation 17:3 as also “sitting upon a scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names.” In the Bible, “beasts” are often used to symbolize political nations. (Dan. 7:2-8; 8:5-8, 20, 21; Rev. 13:1-18) But here the prophecy speaks of a grotesque combination “beast” having “seven heads and ten horns.” Modern history shows that this “beast” first appeared in 1920. It was a combine of the nations— the League of Nations. It took a plunge into temporary inactivity during World War II. But — in fulfillment of prophecy — it appeared again as the United Nations in 1945. Shortly, it “goes off into destruction.” — Rev. 17:8-11.
