IMHO, the Fourth Beast of Daniel 7:23 is the 7-year kingdom of Satan’s Antichrist and covers THE WHOLE EARTH - that’s why the False Prophet causes ALL (except for Tribulation Saints of course) to take the Mark of the Beast - Revelation 13
God bless!
Daniel 7:23
King James Version
23 Thus he said, The Fourth Beast shall be the Fourth Kingdom upon Earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms,
and SHALL DEVOUR THE WHOLE EARTH,
and shall tread it down,
and break it in pieces.

Daniel 7:24 King James Version
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom
are ten kings that shall arise:
and another shall rise after them;
and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings.

10 kings - likely directing 10 divisions (IMHO)
The little horn shall subdue 3 of the kings
Bless you, too! In the phrase, “all who dwell on the earth,” the Greek word translated as “earth,” ge (Strong’s #1093), is just like the Aramaic and Hebrew words for “earth.” It, too, is used for a whole range of geographic areas, thus it is variously translated as “world,” “country,” “ground,” or “land.” In some places, it describes the whole globe, but elsewhere it refers to something as small as the land of Judah or the land of Zebulon—not a very big area at all. While it is certainly not wrong for translators to render this as “all who dwell on the earth,” it is just as correct to render it as “all who dwell in the land,” indicating a specific land—like the Promised Land or perhaps a particular region.
Verse 7 says that the Beast is given authority “over every tribe, tongue, and nation,” which would seem to indicate that it will have global authority. However, the Babylonian Empire is described in exactly the same terms:
O king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom and majesty, glory and honor. And because of the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. (Daniel 5:18-19)
In describing Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom, Daniel writes that all peoples (meaning kindreds or tribes), all nations, and all languages trembled and feared before him. These are the same three groupings given in Revelation 13:7: “every tribe, tongue, and nation.” Yet, as with Alexander’s realm, Nebuchadnezzar’s did not extend to all ethnic groups, languages, and nations that then existed on earth. The world that he ruled, which trembled before him, was a limited one, yet it included the Promised Land.
