REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Three -The Harlot Rides a Beast - Continue

 In what way is  symbolic wild beast full of blasphemous names?  In that men have set up this multinational idol as a substitute for God's Kingdom-to accomplish  what says his Kingdom  alone can accomplish.  (Daniel 2:44; Matthew 12:18, 21)  What is remarkable about John's vision, though, is Babylon the Great is riding the scarlet-colored wild beast.  True to the prophecy, Babylonish religion, particularly in Christendom has linked itself with the League of Nations and its successor. As early as December 18, 1918, the body  now known as the National Counsil of the Churches o Christ in America adopted a declaration in part: "Such a League ino not a mere political expedient; it rather the political expression of the Kingdom of God on earth. . . .The Church can give a spirit of good-will, without which the League of Nations can endure. . . .The League of Nations is rooted in the Gospel.  Like the gospel, its objective is 'peace on earth, good-will toward men.'"
