The identification of the kingdom with the HRE is purely an assumption on Franklin's part and your part - neither of you have substantiated anything, you've just said "Oh yeah, Daniel really means the HRE."
Why should I take your interpretation at face value?

Franklin nor myself called the empire "holy". He calls it the "unholy". All I'm saying is that we know the Roman Empire existed in Jesus' day and its revival is eminent.
