Four beasts of Daniel

[Jon]

I'm currently playing around with the idea that the four beasts of Daniel, although representing earthly kingdoms, might also be representing the angelic powers that control them. You might have heard about the Council of the Sons of God, made up of 70 angelic beings who were each given a nation to control after the Tower of Babel. My question then is whether or not the beasts represent the "kings" of these nations, who would more likely be angelic beings than the human kings who ruled, similar to the idea that the King of Tyre is an angelic being--most likely Satan.
