According to the Society the image of the Wild Beast and the Scarlet Colored Wild Beast are one and the same thing - the League/UN.

Unless I am much mistaken, that is not the case. The beast itself is all the world's "kings" (in time and space). The image of the beast is the League/UN.
I bet if this changed somewhat, nobody would catch it. What an obscure teaching. Almost emberrassing to remember such things

JanH:
LPH is correct.
The WTS teaches that the "Wild Beast" of Rev. 13:1-8 symbolizes the 7 Kings/world powers who ruled from 607 BCE until the 20th century.
The WTS also teaches that the "Image of the wild beast" of Rev. 13: 14, 15 and the "scarlet-colored wild beast" of Rev. 17:3 are one in the same, and it symbolizes both the League of Nations and the U.N.

Hello everyone,
thanks for this great information
and a GREAT THANK to Stephen Bates for his - again -
ecellent article on the " TABLET ". It is for sure
a great way to inform all those unaware of the facts
and to add weight it come from someone " who is not
and was not a JW "....I wrote this bit to answer some
e-mailes that I have received. Very short but hard.
Btw, according to current teaching, the United Nations
are the " a scarlet-colored image of the wild beast .."
and according to current teaching the United Nations
are also "...an eight king " see - Revelation
Its grand climax..- a book published by the WTBS in 1988
pages 246-251 and spec. ยงยง 6, 7, 9,12 and 13.-
Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp

JanH,
You're right about what the Wild Beast and what the image of the beast are, according to the WTS. However, as MA points out, in Rev. 17 there is yet another beast, the scarlet-coloured one, which is different, according to the WTS from the orginal beast (yr beast!) and which the WTS maintains is the same as the image. See Babylon Book or Revelation Climax.
