and yes Palestinians belongs in that world and were SEA People left there after the events which completely change the configuration and the whole economics of the whole as was known then.
Palestinians are not the Philistines in Israel's time. Palestine did not exist till the Balfour declaration of 1917. The Philistines were Phonecian/Greek, not Arabic......
12“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write:
The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this:
13‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. Rev 2: 12-13
the problem with this is that the sea tribes are these clans and cities and they are just city states of lands , peoples and tribes..
Philadelpiah is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaşehir and it isn't it's home land it is just a city state of Elishah who was everyplace.. including India and china..
Pergamon is some kind of greek tribe and I have no idea what other names they may have gone by but they are everyplace too..
I think here they are Per( K or Q)kimon/ Perkimans / perky/ Perkins I think is it is a tribe... and it is also in northwestern Europe. and who knows where else. trust me lots of places. like Pergui sp in mexico/ or tip of Baja California tribe of fair haired who were murdered.. gone now.

?? Palestinians are not related at all to the Philistines. Palestine was created in 1917 through the Balfour declaration. How could they have mixed with the Philistines who were from Greece and ruled over Israel B.C.? It's like saying the Hopi are mixed with the Spanish, because they occupied the SW in the 17th-18th centuries. And that the Spanish have land rights to Hopi land too.
Palestine are Arabs not Greeks. Philistine was a Greek nation. Not an Arab one. And they were over a thousand years apart in history. How could they have mixed?

there is Philistine/ and Phoenicians blood in that area.. and I think your right it isn't alot of them . and where who knows now.. they are so mixed with arabs and such. but there has to be some direct lines there.
To date the ONLY people I have come across who support an earlier than 90 ad date for John's writings are preterists. (and for them it is a matter of grave concern as they believe the Lord returned in 70 ad). How can you have a book fortelling something that happened 20 years ago?
There are other reasons to believe in a pre-70AD date for all the books of the NT. Someone surely would have written about the temple's destruction if it were current news. That is the major reason I believe it.
