The Watchtower, ““Let the Reader Use Discernment””
“Details supplied in the prophecy help us to identify this symbolic beast as a peace organization that came into existence in 1919 as the League of Nations (a “disgusting thing”) and that is now the United Nations.”
One of three Watchtower articles from the period of the organisation's UN/DPI association (1992–2001) that identify the United Nations with the 'disgusting thing' of Matthew 24:15.
