Revelation 17:9-11 New International Version (NIV)
9 “This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for only a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

Five former presidents are currently alive. Trump is, Pence isn't yet, but when he is he won't be long. The eighth king will be one of the seven who once was president. Will Trump be the eight king? :)
Alright when Trump says he is god; let me know. :rolleyes:

Well you just blew it, none of the above.

Christ Jesus foretold in the book of Revelation, who the eight king is. But as it is people would rather do guess work.

So no one knew what Revelation 17:9-11 meant until the "League of Nations" returned as the "United Nations"???
Hopefully Trump won't have a stroke (head wound) requiring Pence to take over for a little while before Trump returns to office (head wound healed, the whole world is filled with wonder no doubt) as the eighth king...

I am Not sure what you mean by 'No one knew....' because students of the Bible knew and know the ' beast ' of Revelation 17:8 was the League of Nations being the beast that was and is not.....so what came after the ' beast that was ' is now the United Nations (8th king). I don't see that composite ' beast ' being one person just as the League of Nations was Not one person. I see No mention of a 'head wound' in the verses of Revelation 17:8-11.

I find those 42 months are the same as 3 1/2 years. - Revelation 13:5-8.
God's people have been harassed from a 'beast' as found in Daniel 7:23-25 in connection to Revelation 11:1-4.
During 'world wars' warring nations tore at one another just like wild beasts because they were taken in by the 'religion of nationalism ' (taught: die for country as if that is the same as dying for God).
Such bad pressure has always placed trials on Jesus' witness followers.

If the author of revelation knew beforehand the league of nations would disband and become the united nations why didnt the author write the league of nations would disband and become the united nations and tell us the dates etc?

Since the existence was unknown in the 1st century, then how could the identification be known at that time.
Back in the 60's a teacher of mine even realized about the League and the U.N. so somehow he put that together.
As far as the dates, in Revelation 1:10 the setting for Revelation to take place is the Lord's Day or our time frame as per the rest of Scripture. So, Revelation was Not written for the first century but for our day or time frame.
That is why Daniel was told the words were sealed until our future time as per Daniel 12:4; Daniel 12:9.
We are Now at that ' end time of badness on Earth ' before Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among persons of goodwill.

JoshuaTree,
I love it when I get to explain something in the Bible, that there are so many inaccurate explanations for these Scriptures. These Scriptures only fit together ONE way, so Please, at least think deeply about I say, because it is very important that anyone who wants to live in The Paradise Earth, understand. It is not difficult!!!
Revelation 17:9, the seven hills or mountains in some Bibles, means, seven Kingdoms, the Woman who sits on this Beast is The world Empire of False religion, the Great Harlot, The Mother of the Harlots. These daughters are all the different false religions on earth. This is shown by verses 3-6 Verse 10 says there are seven Kings, five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come.
Think carefully, remember this Beast has Seven heads with ten horns, verse 7. Now listen, each head stands for a Kingdom that had dealings with God’s chosen people, the Jews. These kingdoms were, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Meads & Persions, Greece, that had fallen, one is, the sixth,Rome, Who was in power when John wrote Revelation. The seventh is the Anglo-American world power, the United States and Britain,that will rule for a short time. The Eighth King will be The Untied Nations, and notice how it is described in verse 8&11,12. Notice that this Beast was, started in 1920, as the League of Nations, then it was not, it went out of power during WW2, 1939-1945, then was again, came to life again as the United Nations, 1945.. Notice the Ten Kings who have not had a Kingdom, but will receive authority as kings, one hour, with the Wild Beast-the Untied Nations. These Ten Kings are all the kingdoms of the earth, at any time one of the seven heads is reigning as King or dominate Nation on earth..They will all give their power and authority to the Eighth King, The United Nations, Verse 12. Verse 18 which says that the Woman The Great city, which reigns over the Kings of the earth, meaning the top commanders of each nation. Only false religion could fit this description!!!
If you have difficulty understanding what I have written, let me know, it is really not that difficult to understand if explained right.

What makes you think anything in Revelation has anything to do with either the USA or anyone alive today?

Um, "seven hills" is a reference to Rome.

Is there an identifying mark of the false religion that fits the description in your explanation?

... and? What's your point?

What has been will be again...

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
-- Hermann Goering

...what has been done will be done again...

The longer he spoke, the more portentous it became: "We will never surrender America's sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy. America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism. And we embrace the doctrine of patriotism."

...there is nothing new under the sun.
