..."and he called out with a loud voice like a roaring lion"...
(Rev.5:5; John 15:15; Rev.19:16; 3:21; Micah 5:8; Prov.20:2; Isa.31:4; Amos 3:4,7,8; Rev.2:26,27; Hosea 6:5 NIV )

FOOTNOTE:
The "sea" is defined for us at Isa.57:20,
...but the "earth/land" >Greek literally means, an occupied, inhabited plot of land, an owned dwelling.
It is not referring to the entire planet
(Lev.26:42; 2Chron.7:20; Isa.14:25; Jer.2:7; 16:18; Eze.14:13; 36:28; 37:14,25; 38:16; Joel 1:6; 3:2; John 14:23).

We note that the sea beast, comes to dominate and conquer God's people (Rev.13:1,7). That beast consists of the Gentiles (not God's nation), that are prophesied to trample God's holy place/city/temple/saints
(Rev.13:1,7; 1Pet.2:5; 1Cor.3:16; 2Thess.2:4; Mark 13:14; Luke 21:24; Rev.13:10; 11:2; Dan.8:10,11).
The "earth", is the source of the false prophet (Rev.13:11,14; 19:20).
That prophet is a prophetic leader that arises from God's own nation/homeland/"earth".
The false prophet gives to the Image of the sea-beast, breath/spirit, so that it appears to have the authority to judge and execute (Rev.13:15) in behalf of the false prophet.
(The meaning of "breath", is explained at John 20:22.)
The alliance of the sea-beast and earth-beast was depicted as a dominion consisting of "iron" and "clay" (Dan.2:33).
Again... the sea/iron, is the Gentiles (Dan.2:40; 7:7,21; Rev.9:9; Jer.6:28)...
...and the clay/earth, are God's nation (Isa.64:8; Gal.3:26).
Those spiritual Jews (Rom.2:28,29) who form an alliance with spiritual Gentiles, are the unfaithful of God's "earth".
As Jer.17:5 reads;
"Cursed is the man who trusts in man
And makes flesh his strength,
Whose heart departs from the Lord."
Isa.30:1 reads;
"Woe to the rebellious children! This is the Lord’s declaration. They carry out a plan, but not mine; they make an alliance, but against my will, piling sin on top of sin."
That is why those leaders of God's people, who use Gentiles to do their dirty work (Rev.13:11,15), are also depicted as a harlot, riding the sea-beast (Rev.17:1,3) (Harlot-and-Beast). They commit gross spiritual adultery against the Lord of their covenant (Zech.8:3; Isa.1:21 NIV ; Rev.17:1,6).
