Help with what is the Beast in Revelations

If the list of the different beast in Daniel is different kingdoms that rose up and took control i.e. Alexander the great, Mongolian and Roman Empire being the metal beast.
If that is right, does that mean that the 1st beast in revelations is the Roman Empire as indeed it was a beast of metal? The second beast that takes its power would be all Christian churches, which have continued the teachings passed on to Rome. This would make sense on a number of factors as they indeed did change time, as we now, still have the Roman calendar. They introduced the need to census people and this is still being done. The Roman Empire had a council of rich elders who ruled, and people needed to pay taxes to employ the elders.
If this is so, this would also confirm the age of kali (age of metal) for the Hindus as indeed most of the world is still currently ruled by the roman empires principle; under the disguise of being by Christ.
Does anyone know of a good site, to help with what the symbolic references are in Daniel, as the part in revelations is easy to say, yes it is the Christian churches which have influenced our political system to be like that of the roman empire. They also are easy to say that yes they are the children of the mother of all harlots as they teach to worship Christ. They pass on the drinking of wine (blood) which is a sin and is clearly prophesied to be the city built on blood shed.
Anyways what do people think?
