For over a century now, the Watchtower organization has conjured up prophetic interpretations that would most certainly make the prophets of Baal proud. To be sure, these interpretations touted as prophetic light, are the mortar that hold the bricks of prophetic understanding in place. According to the nursery rhyme of the three little pigs, all one needs to do is build a house out of bricks, and it can resist the forces of nature. Too bad the wolf didn't take a page from the Watchtowers tactics, then perhaps he would have been dining on pork roast & ham hocks, because In these cases of prophetic interpretation, the Watchtower is dealing with a much more powerful force than merely nature, they are dealing with the force of lies, and Gods Holy Spirit, and the mortar in the walls is crumbling fast.
To those in the know, 1914 is just the beginning of an elaborate mortar work of lies and deceit that the Watchtower fervently tries to patch over with more 'new light', as apparently the old 'new light' faded away and doesn't work anymore. New patches over old wineskins, you know the rest. One of those 'new light' moments that is still being fomented as truth by the organization is that the United Nations became the eighth king of prophecy in 1945. The purpose of this article is to expose this understanding for what it is, a lie that has been built upon the framework of 1914, and has been used to mislead millions of people searching for bible truths. In doing so, truth will be allowed to beget more truth, and a clearer understanding of the prophecy will hopefully ensue.
In order to comprehend what the Watchtower has done, a couple brief quotes to highlight the quagmire of prophetic interpretation, and what the Organization teaches to this day:
The outright arrogance, and utter nonsense, in these two brief quotes should stymie anyone who has the ability to think clearly. The first reference suggests that the eighth king comes to power in 1920, goes away at 1939, and then comes back out of the abyss in 1945. Huh?
The second is quoted from an article titled 'the Ones Having Insight', and succeeds in one of the most blatant cases of blasphemy I have ever seen the Watchtower Organization make, for according to 'the ones having insight' the beast ALSO ascended out of the abyss in 1918, and the prophecy recorded in the book of Revelation was supposedly fulfilled.
For the 'ones having insight' how is it that they have three different dates for the beast to take power?
So what does this mean? If they can't get their own interpretations to agree with each other, what else have they completely botched up? Obviously they don't have the dates figured out, and as the title of this post states, this is a re-examination of the UN and the beast that comes out of the abyss. The following information will show, that those who have claimed to be the 'ones with insight' have built brick upon brick of fabricated lies, and apparently have 'no sight' at all when it comes to prophetic events from the scriptures. Not only have they gotten the dates wrong, but also the identities of the UN and the beast.
The seven headed beast in Revelation is the symbolic manifestation of the world powers that have held position over Gods people over the last five millenia. Starting with Egypt, each of these heads represented Satans system on earth, and a dominant empire, during the time in which it ruled. The Bible calls the heads mountains, and each head is king in its own right.
The seven heads/mountains/kings are:
Most will already know this information, but to build the foundation for what the WT has done, it needs to be expressed, starting with what we already know as truth. To correctly discern the bibles many patterns and prophetic foreshadowing, we have to begin with an accurate description of the first pattern, else the rest won't fit it.
Regarding the eighth king that rises from the abyss, the WT has, just like the dates, misinterpreted the identity because they don't have an accurate first pattern to compare it to.
Consider the first seven heads of the beast. These were sovereign nations that each had their own culture, their own people, their own customs and religious practices, their own Gods, their own language, their own currency, and they all had their own border relatively speaking. This is a pattern, established throughout history, which is easy to identify and acknowledge as true. Therefore, when John sees that one of the heads suffers a death stroke, but is revived, it must follow the preexisting pattern established by the previous seven heads throughout history.
What the WT has done is analogous to putting the square block(United Nations) into the round hole(prophetic pattern). They somehow managed to get it in, but in doing so mangled the original cube to the point it is no longer retains the same shape. How so? First off, the United Nations is not a sovereign nation. It is an international organization, just as the W.H.O., or the Bank of International Settlements is. The United Nations does not have any borders, nor does it have it's own language, currency, or for all practicality any of the things essential for a sovereign nation to have. The framework of the UN simply doesn't fit the pattern, so how is it that the WT has made it fit into the existing pattern set for five millenia, that defines what a head of the beast must possess? Simple...they forced it!!!
And in doing so, they are not only promoting a lie, but they are preventing any further truth to fit through the round hole. Falsely applying the United Nations to the revived head of the beast doesn't fit the prophetic pattern, no matter how hard you try to force it. Regardless of anything else they teach now on the subject, because they are forcing an interpretation, it will all be incorrect. Which it is.
So the question is, if the United Nations doesn't fit the established pattern set throughout history as one of the seven heads revived, then does it fit any other pattern in the Bible? Most certainly it does, and to get it to fit, no tools required.

In order to comprehend what the Watchtower has done, a couple brief quotes to highlight the quagmire of prophetic interpretation, and what the Organization teaches to this day:
*w88 6/1 p. 27 Part 8—The Long March of the World Powers Nears Its End **
"As the prophecy had stated, this eighth king “was” from 1920 until 1939. It ‘was not’ from 1939 until World War II ended in 1945. Then it ascended “out of the abyss,” reactivated as the League’s successor, the United Nations."
*** w87 7/1 pp. 21-22 pars. 4-5 Divine Blessings for “the Ones Having Insight” ***
"In 1914 the truth of their message was dramatically confirmed when the first world war broke out, and the “pangs of distress” foretold by Jesus began. (Matthew 24:7, 8) Nevertheless, their religious enemies used the war hysteria to persecute them until finally, in 1918, their preaching work was virtually stopped, and principal servants of the Watch Tower Society were unjustly imprisoned. This caused great rejoicing in some quarters. It also fulfilled the prophecy recorded in the book of Revelation: “And when they have finished their witnessing, the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss will make war with them and conquer them and kill them.”—Revelation 11:7.
The outright arrogance, and utter nonsense, in these two brief quotes should stymie anyone who has the ability to think clearly. The first reference suggests that the eighth king comes to power in 1920, goes away at 1939, and then comes back out of the abyss in 1945. Huh?

“. . .The seven heads mean seven mountains,...10 And there are seven kings. . .” Re 17:9-10
The seven heads/mountains/kings are:
- Egypt
- Assyria
- Babylon
- Medo-Persia
- Greece
- Rome
- Anglo-America
