Greetings Keiw,
What do you mean the Earth beast?
Revelation 13:1,11–12 (KJV): 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.


Kind regards
Trevor

The 7 heads represent the 7 world powers of all time


The beast rises up and has all 7 heads. They are not world powers from "all time". The heads are mountains according to John, and mountains can be any land above sea level so islands or continents etc. Heads are the areas of land where the ten kings/horns have their kingdoms.

Symbolism. In Daniel each world power was given the mark of a beast)-horns = kingdoms- This is the eighth king who isn't like the rest.( not a country) but a place where kingdoms gather-thus 10 horns. The 2 horned beast is the final world power. #7
