The Beast in Revelation 13 is described as having the body of a leopard, the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion and eagle's wings. These four countries are also described in Daniel, chapter 7, but as four seperate beasts. These four countries were charter members of the United Nations when it was formed in 1945 and are permanent members of the UN Security Council with veto power. Together they represent the Beast that rules the world. No resolution is passed by the United Nations unless these four countries are in agreement and in favor of the resolution.
China also has veto power, but usually abstains for trade favors.
Due to this unfair voting power the United Nations is not based in justice because all countries do not have an equal vote and an equal say in governing themselves. If all the countries in the world are united on a particular resolution, but one of those four Beast countries are not in favor, the veto power of that Beast country can prevent the action from being taken. In 1991 when Libya and Mohammar Khadafi arose in opposition to the UN and in support of Saddam Hussein, the threat of being bombed into submission caused him to turn his tail and run. Libya was no match for this Beast. This was made clear when we first went to Iraq in defense of Kuwait in August of 1990.
