All things are possible in the realms of prophetic interpretation! There are 4 basic ways of interpreting the book of Revelation; the Historicist, the Preterist, the Futurist and the Spiritual.
There are several wild beasts mentioned in Revelation, so I don't know which one you are referring to. Many who think the United Nations is a wild beast also thought it was the League of Nations - before it became defunct. Babylon the Great has been viewed as the Roman Empire, the Church of Rome, or Rome as being symbolic of all powers arrayed against God.
Those who worship the One seated on the Throne and the Lamb (Rev. 5:13-14) view Revelation as The Big Picture that helps them focus on God's sovereignty and that all history is heading towards God's decreed end. This helps them through times of adversity and persecution. We don't need to have every detail of it thrashed out in advance - we just need to keep focussed on the One seated on the Throne and the Lamb.

(Revelation 19:19) And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army.
The " Kings of the earth" are worldly governments. Consisting of people.
So also is the "Wild beast" made up of people.
(Revelation 17:10-11) And there are seven kings: five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet arrived, but when he does arrive he must remain a short while. 11Â And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also itself an eighth [king], but springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction.
Being one of the " Kings" is is an earthly organisation, and not a spiritual one.
(Revelation 17:13) These have one thought, and so they give their power and authority to the wild beast.
It is given earthly power [ men, armies, money, blue berets] by the member governments.
(Revelation 17:14) These will battle with the Lamb, but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them. Also, those called and chosen and faithful with him [will do so].”
So worldly powers will battle with Jesus [ the Lamb]
Jesus will win.
The finality will not be pleasant.
(Revelation 19:17) I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice and said to all the birds that fly in midheaven: “Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God,
(Revelation 19:21) But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them.

THE UN is a man made organization, doing nothing but finding fault with the peacemakers.
No Babylon come out of the Church of Roma.
All man made forced religion.
As a human we have the gift of free religion, to choose or deny the Living Jesus Christ.
You will not make it by worshiping a dead statue's
The sign of Christ is in every human heart.
Bring it out, and be happy forever.

UN is possibly the govt. of the beast, but the beast won't rear its ugly head until the rapture...

Daniels vision descriptions helps one come to that conclusion.
